(Episode 14: You Make Me Want to Be a Better Man)
I know, right? Totally.
Come here.
You have bread all over your face.
You have a milk mustache, ones that kids get.
A milk mustache?
You mean, right here?
Did you leave it there on purpose to make me...
wipe it for you?
No, I didn't.
I think it's gone.
Hang on.
Come here.
You're so cute.
What was that about?
You're dead meat now.
- What is it? What's wrong? - Well...
I meant to call my dad last night,
but I totally forgot about it.
Your dad?
Wait, just a second.
Hold on. I'll drive you home.
Gosh, no. It's okay.
I'll get in deeper trouble if he finds out we were together.
- I'll call you, okay? - But...
Wait, Ms. Gil...
Have another amazing day!
Amazing day to you too.
Oh, dear.
Look at you. You didn't come home last night and didn't even call.
Did you do this all the time in Busan?
I see you haven't left for school yet.
Where's Dad?
Where on earth did you sleep last night?
Well... Dad.
At Ju Yeon's!
I slept at Ju Yeon's place.
Where else do you think I was all night?
Hey, Ju Yeon.
Did O Sol sleep at your place last night?
Yes, she passed out after having beer with fried chicken.
Why? Didn't she call you?
Well, never mind. Thanks anyway.
You get drunk and pass out all the time.
What's your cell phone for?
I'm sorry, Dad.
I meant to call you but totally forgot about it.
Wash up and eat breakfast.
I'm making braised mackerel.
- What? - Come to your senses, will you?
You're so out of it these days because of your boyfriend.
Thanks so much, Ju Yeon.
My gosh, I should take Ju Yeon out for a nice meal.
- Hello. - How can she be so quick-witted?
Wait, it sounds like you've done this many times.
No, that's not true.
You must have nothing better to do.
You keep trying to pick fights with me.
Gosh, you're so cute even when you're trying to argue with me.
I miss you. What do I do? I miss you too much.
How am I going to wait?
Hold on second.
Did you feel my love for you?
Yes, I felt it. It totally made me cringe.
I miss you too.
Have another great day.
You can do it!
Bye.
You're staying in Korea for longer than I expected.
Did you decide to stay for good?
I'm still contemplating on it.
As you're probably guessing, I asked you to come by...
to see if you'd like to work with us.
Would you accept the offer?
Thanks for the offer, but I'm not ready yet mentally.
I'm sorry.
I knew it. Did you decide to go back to Rochester?
I heard a little while ago that they offered you...
an associate professor role.
That's not the only reason.
I want to lay low as I've been doing for the next little while.
Also, there's a personal matter I have to take care of.
Give it another thought.
I'd hate to let such a phenomenal doctor go.
Thank you for your kind words.
Hey, I have a favor to ask of you.
Goodness, they say that a fair face...
may hide a foul heart.
So? Did you have a great time?
What did you two do all night?
Gosh, what are you thinking?
I've already told you. We ate ramyeon...
and watched a movie together.
What? Come on.
Hey, what else did you guys do after watching the movie?
What else did you do?
What's with that look?
Hey, what you're thinking did not happen.
My goodness.
Anyway, you owe me big-time. You know that, right?
I want you to pay me back with interest.
Don't think I'll forget about it.
I know, of course.
Ju Yeon, you know how much I love you, right?
You're so quick-witted...
and pretty.
- Who will be the lucky guy? - I know, right?
Hey, what's this?
This... Isn't it O Dol's?
It is his badge.
Oh, this?
O Dol dropped this,
so I've been holding onto it.
That clumsy punk. He treasures that badge.
What was he thinking?
Hey, I'll take it. I can give it to him...
I'll... I'll give it back to him.
Hey, you'll be late.
Shouldn't you get going? Check the time.
Right.
Mr. Jang must be waiting for me. I'm off.
Hey.
That smile...
It's giving me a bad feeling.
- Are you sure you lost it here? - Yes.
It should be somewhere here, then.
Ms. Gil.
Mr. Jang, you're here.
What are you looking for?
A tooth.
"A tooth"?
This boy lost his front tooth that fell out yesterday.
We have to find it.
Are you her boyfriend?
"Boyfriend"?
Yes.
I am.
She is my girlfriend.
You cutie.
Play with me.
Is this your tooth?
Oh, thank you.
Let's go!
Let's go.
Bye.
Why are you staring at me?
I just remembered my childhood.
Your childhood?
Did you lose your tooth too?
No, that's not it.
It's about a trauma.
A trauma?
When I was little, a girl flicked her booger...
into my mouth.
I suddenly remembered it.
A booger into your mouth?
That's hilarious.
Is that what gave you mysophobia?
Stop laughing.
I'm talking about my trauma here.
Still, it's so funny.
How could her booger go into...
Actually, something similar happened when I was little.
I still remember it clearly.
There was this boy...
who was wearing shiny enamel shoes.
He walked up to me and said, "Play with me."
At that moment, I flicked my booger,
and it went right into his mouth.
Do you know what happened next?
He passed out?
That's right.
But I saved him by giving him mouth-to-mouth.
Isn't that incredible?
A mouth-to-mouth?
Mouth-to-mouth...
He was completely smitten by me.
He was smitten by you?
Yes.
After that day, he came back day after day...
and peeped at me.
He must have been shy. He was hiding all the time.
He couldn't walk up to me.
Well...
What if he was scared,
not shy?
Why would he be scared?
I still remember his face blushing with excitement.
Well...
How is your doll doing?
That dirty baby doll you used to carry on your back.
I remember even that.
How do you know...
By any chance,
are you...
that boy?
Yes, I'm that boy.
Oh, my. I can't believe it.
Hold on.
You really...
didn't like me...
but were afraid of me?
Well, the thing is...
I think I liked you.
I always have...
liked you.
Unbelievable.
Is this our destiny?
What should I do?
I'm so happy.
This must be our destiny!
The booger girl is going to bed.
Goodnight, the enamel-shoes boy.
No more nightmares.
She is so cute.
So cute.
Gil O Sol is so cute!
What's all this? It's so dirty.
I keep finding more things.
It's Mom.
What is this?
What's gotten into her?
Did something happen?
Good morning.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
My sister...
Yes?
She is cleaning.
I'm scared.
Me too.
The water became so dirty.
Is this what I've been covering myself every night?
More hot water.
It's warm.
This is more fun than I expected.
It feels so rewarding to watch the blankets become clean.
It makes me happy to see you smile.
What?
I hope...
you will always smile like today.
No matter what happens,
I hope you will always be able to laugh it off.
Why are you suddenly saying that?
Well, every relationship is like that.
You can't always be happy.
No matter what is awaiting you,
always stay strong.
That's my advice.
I'm thirsty.
Do you want something to drink?
Sure.
(Youngwon Flowers)
(M24 Convenience Store)
(Youngwon Flowers)
These are...
What were you doing here?
It's where my mom is...
Oh, that.
Mr. Gil must have left them there.
He is getting forgetful these days.
How many spoons?
It doesn't matter.
Well...
I wanted to tell you before I tell anyone else.
I guess I didn't work at Cleaning Fairy for nothing.
I never realized how big my room was.
I had no idea...
cleaning can be so rewarding.
After meeting you,
I think I changed a lot.
As a better me.
I can't imagine a better version of you than right now.
Really?
By the way, your mother told me...
she felt sorry for last time...
and said she couldn't go to see you first.
I'm glad to hear that.
I hated it when she barged in suddenly.
Come on, don't be like that.
Can't you approach your mother first...
just this once?
Just this once. Okay?
Me?
- A little to the right. - Okay.
- To the left. - Come this way.
Move back a bit. A little more.
- To the left. Turn it this way. - Like this?
Okay.
Seon Kyeol, how did you...
I just...
needed some clothes.
Hello.
It looks...
cooler than I thought.
- What? - It looks cool.
Your shop.
Do you really think so?
I decorated this place from top to bottom.
Everything from the furniture to the design concept.
Do you see that outfit over there? I even designed that.
Do you want to see it?
I'm sorry. I know you're busy...
and I'm being so silly.
Show it to me. It's all right.
Really?
Okay. Hold on. Stay right here.
This was even introduced at a fashion week in Paris.
Do you know Miranda Kerr?
She said she would love to try on my outfits.
- Gosh. - This...
Yes, you're right.
The drawing you drew when you were a kid.
You sent it to me when I was living in the States.
You got a compliment at kindergarten for the first time.
It wasn't me. Ms. Geum Ja probably sent it.
I was so thankful you were being raised so well.
Right. I heard you were dating O Sol.
I really like her too.
She doesn't get discouraged easily...
and she's bright and pretty.
Do you want to go to Chairman Yang's resort together?
I'll tell him to disinfect the place and invite you.
No...
Anywhere else besides my home is still uncomfortable.
Do you...
only have dates with her at your home?
- I do. - Seriously?
Only at home?
What should we cook today?
Will this be okay?
I heard you met your mother.
Well... I just dropped by.
You acted like you wouldn't go.
But you did.
It's just, I needed some new clothes and...
You told me to go meet her.
I'm proud.
Great job, Mr. Jang.
What are you doing?
- Complimenting you. - Hey.
What are you doing? You're treating me like a baby.
- O Sol... - Wait.
This is the movie, "Be With You".
They're showing the director's cut again.
I really wanted to see this again at the movie theater.
Do you want to go see it?
Yes, let's go and see it.
I really wanted to see that too.
What is it, "Be With You".
I wanted to see it too. Let's go then.
That's fine. Come to think of it, I already saw it.
There's no need to go out and see it again.
But it'll feel different if you see it in a movie theater.
Let's go see it. We can go.
It's really fine.
It's not fine with me, so let's go.
I just really want to see it.
So, we can really go.
To the movie theater.
Why aren't there any people?
O Sol.
Mr. Jang. You came early.
Oh, I had plans nearby.
Let's go. I already bought the tickets.
How about some popcorn with our movie?
Popcorn? That sounds great.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Dong Hyeon, Yeong Sik, get ready.
Hello.
- We'll have a caramel popcorn... - Yes.
Do you want something to drink?
I'll have anything.
- We'll have coke. - Okay. It's eight dollars.
It's been so long since I came to the theater.
Is that so? We can come often from now on.
What the heck...
The coke is spilling all over the place. Goodness.
- Here is your popcorn. - Sir, this isn't stopping.
It stopped!
- Sweet and refreshing coke. - Thank you.
Give it to me.
Jae Min, stand by.
Aren't those employees so weird?
His voice sounded just like Yeong Sik.
No way. Let's just go in and watch the movie.
Wow! You two look great together.
I hope you lovebirds enjoy your movie...
and have a great time.
- Did you wash your hair? - Sorry?
Let's go and watch the movie. Let's go in.
Shall we?
You're dead.
Give me your bag.
But why aren't there...
any people in here?
Oh, I heard there was a group reservation,
but it was canceled. I guess that's why it's empty.
This place is nice in spring.
The flowers bloom and it's beautiful.
Then let's come together.
- But, I'm... - Don't worry about anything.
We'll be fine. It's meant to be.
Did you enjoy the movie?
I loved the big screen.
It felt so nice to be with you at the movie theater.
Do you want to go watch baseball next time?
I heard there are many concerts lately.
How about a concert?
A concert?
Why? Is a concert too much?
Of course not.
If you want to go, just ask me.
If you ask, of course...
we can go.
Thank you for today.
It must've been tough for all the other guys.
What do you mean?
You don't have to try so hard for me.
You don't have to borrow the whole theater...
and clean it up like that.
You knew?
That place was totally empty on a weekend.
I'd be stupid not to know.
And the smell of that disinfectant.
I'm very familiar with it too, you know.
I'm sorry. I just...
wanted to enjoy an ordinary date with you.
Instead of eating and watching movies at home,
I wanted to hold hands like this, take walks together,
and go to the movie theater.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E14 Clean with Passion for Now!! "You Make Me Want to Be a Better Man" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
You're...
going through a lot because of me.
Don't say that.
The fact that I have you by my side like this...
makes me so happy.
My gosh, how romantic.
You rented the entire theater for your date?
I thought things like that only happened in movies.
Stop making fun of me.
I'm not in the mood for this.
I'm not making fun of you.
I'm truly impressed.
But...
I wonder what's gotten into you...
for you to reach out to me first.
And you even gave me this delicious tea.
Well, nothing really.
It's about my mysophobia.
Aren't you going to treat it?
I heard you're quite famous in the field.
That was a model answer. Impressive.
That was an excellent answer.
All right.
Are you now more willing...
to change?
Not exactly,
but I find it uncomfortable.
These days, especially.
The fact that I'm different from others...
felt like being a nuisance.
I've never felt like this before.
And what's the reason?
You've been fine with your lifestyle...
all these years.
Why are you suddenly uncomfortable with it? That's what I'm asking.
It's because of Gil O Sol.
I want to change for her.
There are many things...
I want to do with her.
It's a good change.
Regardless of the reason,
you're finally willing to change.
Then can I...
go ahead and assume...
that you're mentally ready to do anything and everything...
I ask you to do?
"Anything and everything"?
That's right.
Well...
- Sure. - Okay!
Then starting today, we shall work on fixing your problem.
Can you please get rid of this plastic cover?
It's uncomfortable,
and this sound really gets on my nerves.
No, no way. Don't remove it. Don't you dare. You can't.
Didn't you say you need my help? You have the wrong attitude.
By the way, where are we going now?
I'm taking you to...
How shall I describe it?
It's a little trip for your cognitive behavioral therapy.
A trip?
We can also call it "training".
You don't need to help me. Just go to work.
It's fine.
I'm done. Look.
Isn't it so clean?
I was the ace of my team back at Cleaning Fairy.
Ace, my foot.
The owner of this car is very fussy.
He'll complain even if there's a tiny bit of dust left...
Oh, my goodness.
You're thorough because you take after me.
We're done with this car.
What else can I clean?
We're done for the day.
Already?
Since we're done early, how about we go for a bowl of udon?
Goodness, I knew that was your goal when you volunteered to help me.
- How about this? - Of course. Let's go.
This place looks a lot more romantic than the photos I saw online.
Baby.
Are we going to sleep together here tonight?
What? Sleep together? Here?
What? Why?
Why would we sleep here?
Hey, stop!
Stop right there!
Why did you clean your room?
It's not your mom's death anniversary.
Oh, I just thought it looked untidy.
I haven't been cleaning regularly,
saying I'm always tired and busy.
I don't want to be like that anymore.
I'm going to keep things tidy and stop putting things off.
That's why I cleaned my room.
Do you like that guy that much?
- What? - You never listened to me...
when I nagged you about it.
But you've totally changed since you started dating him.
That's not what it is. Don't be silly, Dad.
Whatever. Then why are your ears all red now?
Don't lie to my face.
This change...
makes me happy.
It gives me a relief.
So what's your plan now?
I mean, you quit your job.
You must have a plan.
For the time being,
I want to help you like I did today.
I'm not saying I won't do anything productive.
I want to take some time...
and figure out what I really want to do.
Since quitting hurdling,
I haven't had a chance to sit down and think about...
what I really want to do.
"I don't care what the job is. I just want to get a job..."
"so I can make enough money..."
"to lead a decent life."
That's what I thought.
But I don't want to live like that anymore.
I want to find out what I really like...
and what I want to do...
so I can enjoy my life.
That's why I want to take the proper path...
even though it may take longer.
I see.
If your mom heard that, she'd be so happy for you.
The problem with O Dol has been resolved too.
Don't you feel like it was a gift from Mom?
I miss her so much.
By the way, why did you visit Mom alone?
We could've come with you.
What?
Aren't you the one who left the yogurt and the flowers?
What are you talking about?
I've been very busy, so I haven't had time to visit her.
Speaking of which, I should visit her soon.
I feel like I've been neglecting her.
Go away, bugs!
It's freezing. What are we doing now?
Let's go home.
You said you want to change for O Sol.
Is this the extent of your love?
Gosh, you're one petty quack.
So? What now?
What should I do?
I'm relieved...
because you actually seem like a nice guy.
Are you realizing it just now?
You're confident that you won't make me regret...
giving up on O Sol, right?
What are you talking about?
Please protect O Sol...
no matter what.
I think all will be fine if you don't give up.
Well, I don't think that's any of your business.
I will never give up.
I'll be sure to protect O Sol and keep her safe at all times.
That's why I'm here now.
And?
Are you enjoying it?
Not really.
But I should still do it.
I will do it.
Now,
I must.
So?
Where's the list of the disciplinary committee members?
There's actually something I need to tell you, sir.
Go ahead.
I don't think...
I can work for you anymore.
I no longer want to do things that Mr. Jang doesn't want.
Things...
that he doesn't want?
Stop meddling in everything, including the disciplinary hearing.
I kindly ask you...
to stop giving Ms. Gil's family a hard time.
She left the company voluntarily, so I think...
you should leave her alone.
Seon Kyeol is...
going out with that girl, I hear.
It's between the two of them.
It's none of your business.
Why did you never tell me her mom died...
in the Jungang-dong accident?
I'll protect Seon Kyeol...
in my own way.
All right. Thank you for all your help so far.
The disciplinary committee will be held tomorrow, right?
Don't be nervous. It'll be all right.
You came to say that?
No.
Take it back.
The first medal you win...
after the disciplinary committee.
I want that.
You know how I am, right?
I'll only accept a gold medal.
You better work hard.
Are you serious?
Do you really mean it?
If I win a gold medal, you'll go out with me?
We'll see.
Guys!
Let's go!
I'll win a gold medal!
Come to the window.
(I love you, O Sol.)
(You're the only one. You're so pretty.)
(Look at me only. Let's walk together.)
(We'll always be together.)
Hello.
What's going on?
Hold on.
Are you outside?
No.
I'm right in front of you.
How did you come in?
Where are your gloves?
I opened the doors with bare hands.
- I did some special training. - Special training?
Are you okay?
I thought I'd be okay,
but I'm not.
I think I have to go out.
Come.
"Gil O Sol".
I'll go wash my hands now.
I'm proud of you.
Maybe I'll stay a bit longer.
Thank you for the security camera footage.
I'm sorry...
that's the only thing I can do for you.
I've always wanted to ask you this.
What's the relationship between you and Chairman Cha?
I don't understand why you would have wanted...
to help him.
You've also been actively involved with Seon Kyeol's surroundings.
Was that also for Chairman Cha's sake?
No. It wasn't for his sake.
It was for my own sake.
To me, Mr. Jang meant my son's future.
I did the things I did to make Mr. Jang happy.
But my judgment was wrong.
I only made things harder for him.
By the way, tomorrow's disciplinary committee...
might not go very well.
Why do you say that?
Chairman Cha found out about O Sol.
Even the fact that her mom died in the Jungang-dong accident.
It seems like...
he has decided to break up Mr. Jang and O Sol.
To do that, he will use O Sol's family.
I'm Mr. Jang Seon Kyeol's doctor, Choi Ha In.
Can I have a word with you, Chairman Cha?
So you have three months left at the most.
And you haven't even told your family.
If it gets out before the heir is decided,
AG Group will suffer immensely.
Are you blackmailing me?
Yes, it's just what you think it is.
I'm blackmailing you.
So what do you want?
You must have come to me...
because there is something you want.
Leave O Sol's family alone.
When AG Group was redeveloping Jungang-dong six years ago,
your misjudgment...
resulted in four casualties.
And I hear you're aware...
that one of them is O Sol's mother.
Instead of apologizing to the victims and their families,
you want to trample on them for the second time?
To stop you,
I'd do something even worse than blackmailing.
The disciplinary committee is today, right?
Yes. But the result is already decided.
- I'm not so worried. - That's good.
Do you want to come to my place after work?
We should celebrate.
That's unnecessary.
Should we get a cake? Should we cook something nice?
It's raining.
I hung the laundry outside.
I'm sorry, I'll call you later.
I took care of it for you.
Thank you.
I thought you went to O Dol's disciplinary committee.
He threw a fit, saying there was no need for me to go.
I wonder how it's going.
I'm glad O Dol can start his training again.
About those receipts...
The ones you said my dad left behind.
Yes.
My dad said he never went there.
Is there something you are hiding from me?
No, I'm not hiding anything.
By any chance,
Are you...
the one who leaves yogurt behind...
for me?
Yes.
You're right.
It's me who left the yogurt.
Really?
Why?
A long time ago,
there was a time you gave me yogurt once.
Here. Drink this.
Drink it when it's still cold.
That yogurt...
provided me with solace too.
I received solace...
but you didn't.
That's why.
From that moment on,
you and your family were always on my mind.
I want to stay with Mr. Gil,
you, and O Dol.
I know I won't be much help,
but can I stay here like this?
If you allow me to,
I want to help.
No matter what it is.
(Disciplinary Committee)
We hereby give Gil O Dol of the taekwondo club...
of Dong Myeong High School...
a one-year suspension from practicing taekwondo.
What?
What? One year?
I think there's been a mistake.
You saw that it was an act of self-defense.
Sir... Sir!
I'm sure there's been a mistake.
I'll talk to the coach...
and find out what's happening,
- so don't worry... - About O Dol's disciplinary action.
Isn't it a bit too harsh?
What's his relationship with AG Group?
Didn't you hear?
There's a rumor his sister is dating the grandson of AG Group.
Is that true?
You didn't know?
What did you just say?
"AG Group"?
- O Dol. - You just said AG.
What are you talking about?
I'm sorry.
Hey. Mister.
Dad, what were they talking about?
I received solace...
but you didn't.
You're back. How did it go?
Can you continue your training?
Why are you all wet?
What?
Did something go wrong?
Dad.
Why him?
What do you mean?
Why that jerk?
Didn't you know he's the grandson of AG Group?
Why that jerk?
Why him of all people?
Why must you date a guy from the family...
that killed your mom? Why?
AG? What do you mean?
Mr. Jang is...
a family member of AG Group?
That can't be true.
How can...
Not only did they kill your mom,
but now they're trying to ruin your brother's life as well.
Those jerks are about to ruin your brother too.
Goodness.
You're late.
What... What happened?
Why are you all wet?
Let's stop meeting each other.
What?
Let's break up.
What are you talking about?
Is something wrong?
Come in first.
It's cold. You'll catch a cold.
I said I wanted to break up.
Let's break up.
Why on earth are you doing this?
You sounded fine when we talked on the phone this afternoon.
Did I do something wrong?
If you're upset... No.
If you're mad at me, please tell me.
That way, I can fix it or do anything I can.
What is this so out of the blue?
You did nothing wrong.
I just...
I just got sick of everything.
I can't even stand the sight of you.
Let's end it here.
The number you've dialed cannot be reached. Please leave...
(Call me when you get this message.)
Please leave a message after the tone.

How dare you!
- My gosh. - Stop!
- Wait, stop! - Step aside!
No, let go!
No! Stop!
Stop it!
Bring my wife back to life.
Bring my wife back to life, you murderer!
Bring her back. Bring her back to life!
Dad! Dad!
Are you all right? Are you okay?
How dare you show up here?
This isn't a good idea, sir.
- We should leave. - That scumbag!
- Get away! - My goodness.
How could he have the audacity to show up here?
I'm going to work.
Make sure you eat something.
Don't make me worry about you as well.
Father.
Father, I can't get a hold of O Sol.
Is she home now by any chance?
Who said you could call me "Father"?
Pardon me?
Do not come here ever again.
You'd better stay far away from O Sol.
I must've done something majorly wrong to O Sol,
but I can't figure out what it is.
I want to apologize to her in person.
But in all honesty, I'm not sure what I should be...
apologizing for.
I've tried calling and texting, but she's not getting back to me.
It's been days.
I can't even work because I'm so worried.
Do you know if she's home now?
She's not sick, right?
She's fine, but she is...
going through a hard time.
This must be hard for you as well,
but why don't you...
just give her some time?
I think that will be the best...
for both of your sakes.
What I'm saying is, I want to know...
why I have to do that. I mean,
I need to know the reason.
I saw her dad earlier.
I've never seen him treat me that way before.
He seemed very angry at me for some reason,
but I can't figure out why.
O Sol.
(Clean with Passion for Now!!)
You should tell me why you're suddenly acting like this.
I have nothing to say.
O Sol.
O Sol!
I don't need any of this.
A doctor, or treating my mysophobia...
I won't do it.
You are the one who made Seon Kyeol like that. You!
He's starting to wash more frequently.
I'm afraid Mr. Jang might be in danger.
I won't run away, or avoid it anymore.
Please get out of my way.
I need to go see Mr. Jang.
