(It's My Life)
(Episode 114)
Mom...
Gosh, Mom.
Si Woo, Si Woo.
Si Woo!
I guess you had a nightmare.
What happened in the dream?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
You called for Si Woo.
Did he upset you even in your dream?
No.
Have you ever seen me upset with him?
Let's have some food, okay?
Come on.
All right.
It looks good, right? Dig in.
Who is it?
I'm not expecting anyone.
Just a second.
Mr. Jang, it's me. Open the door.
What's going on? You showed up without even calling.
Ms. Choi, I'm here.
I thought I shouldn't leave you alone with this dirty-minded guy.
I'm here to guard you.
I'm glad you came.
I bought some candied sweet potatoes for you. Do you want to try it?
We'll have our meal first.
She won't want to have her food if she eats sweets first.
My gosh, why cook up a feast like this when you live alone?
Are you hiding a cooking fairy somewhere or what?
Gosh, cut it out.
Ms. Yang brought all this food for us.
Have you eaten yet?
I ate, but if it's Ms. Yang's home-cooked food,
- I can eat some more. - Here you go. Eat this.
I'll bring some rice for me.
Yeon Ji. Yeon Ji.
Yeon Ji, what's the matter?
Yeon Ji, what's wrong?
What happened?
What... What is this?
I really am pregnant.
My goodness. What do I do?
- Put me down. - Yeon Ji.
Hooray! I'm so excited.
I can't believe such an amazing thing happened to me.
Yeon Ji, I am so happy...
that I'm going to cry.
Are you that happy?
Yes. I'm so happy.
I'm really happy.
I'm so happy that I feel like I'm going crazy.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Why?
I don't want others to talk about my pregnancy before marriage.
Our wedding is less than a month away.
So people will believe us if we say that it's a honeymoon baby.
Can't I tell my mom and dad either?
Oh, no.
Let's tell my parents only.
If we do, they will be so excited.
Okay.
Let's tell them together when Mother leaves the hospital.
Okay. Let's do that.
Oh, right. Yeon Ji, what did you say you were craving?
Tteokbokki, jjolmyeon, kkanpunggi, jjajangmyeon, and...
What else?
Spicy jokbal.
I'll go out right now and buy all of them for you.
Just sit here and get some rest.
Come on. Sit down.
I'll be back shortly.
Si Woo, are you all right?
Yes. I'm fine.
What happened?
I think the milk and rice porridge caused it.
It has milk in it.
You were lucky Ms. Choi prepared medicine for you.
It could have been worse.
I remembered that Ms. Choi said she got a prescription...
for your medicine once every six months.
She said that she always keep medicine for you...
since you got sick frequently.
I'm sorry, Si Woo.
I had no idea you were...
allergic to milk.
You acted like you dote on your son-in-law.
But you didn't even know he was allergic to milk?
What if you kicked us all out of this house?
It's okay. I'll get better after a good rest.
I'll go upstairs to rest.
Okay.
I cooked rice and made soup and everything.
You should have just given him the food I made.
Why did you do something you never did and cause trouble?
It's not that I knew it.
I've never seen anyone who is allergic to milk.
Think of Jin Ah.
Just think of what you can do to help her become happy.
Do you know what you look like now?
What do I look like?
You look like a person who kicked out the people who let you in...
so you could warm yourself up and took their bedroom.
I agree with her.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Nam Jin.
What's with the tension in here?
Did something happen?
It's obvious.
I was being scolded by your mom.
She scolded you?
She wouldn't have scolded you.
She wasn't scolding her. She was educating her.
Si Woo almost died because of the milk and rice porridge...
that his mother-in-law made for him.
Si Woo's life was in danger while we were gone.
So? How is Si Woo?
Is he okay now?
Yes. He got better.
I'm relieved.
- Oh, right. Mom. - Yes?
Can I talk to you for a second?
Of course, my son.
(Allergy medicine, blood pressure control medicine, sedatives,)
(stomach ache medicine, cold medicine)
Mother is so impressive.
I should learn a lot from her.
Since I was prone to minor illnesses,
I got sick often.
Sometimes, I got a high fever in the middle of the night.
I got stomach cramps.
I also suffered from allergic reactions like I did earlier...
because of the food I ate outside of my home.
Whenever I got sick, I called my mom,
and she made it all go away.
You know that she raised you with so much affection.
Until when will you get angry whenever you see her?
You're right. But I don't know.
Let's go to see Mother tomorrow.
Let's go and bring her home.
My mom...
thinks that I'm studying in Italy.
Because I gave her the cold shoulder,
and I was too mean to her.
I guess...
she sent me far away in her mind.
Well... Mom.
I know that you handed in your resignation letter.
What? How did you know that?
Mr. Heo told me that and asked me to stop you.
So what did you say to him?
This is all I have.
Since I spent a lot of it to help you solve the problem...
in the third round of the contest, so I don't have much left.
Mom.
Do what you want to do.
If you want to study, study.
If you want to run a business, do so.
Instead,
whatever you do, try your best sincerely.
I just want you to do what you like...
and live a happy life.
Thank you, Mom.
I'm sure you'll need much more money than this to start a business.
I'll come up with some more money,
so start preparing for your business with this money for now.
How will you come up with money?
Don't worry about it.
I'm saying it because I'm confident in getting money.
In return, you can...
promote him to the manager of security...
and give him a desk.
The manager of security?
No, wait. Since you'll promote him,
promote him to the senior manager of security.
His wish is to hold a title as a manager once in his life,
so I'm sure he'll accept it if you promote him.
Who is he?
Are you talking about Mr. Bang?
He doesn't have much money.
He has a lot of money.
And honestly, that money belongs to you.
Anyway, just pretend you don't know anything.
Oh, dear. My sweet son.
You must have been so distressed because of Seung Joo.
Thank you for getting through it.
Let's just...
think that you and Seung Joo were not meant to be together.
Mom, shall we spend some time together tomorrow?
Spending time with you?
I would love that.
I don't have to go to see Geum Soon tomorrow.
Tomorrow is perfect.
Mr. Jo, please.
I really bad with computers.
Print out another copy of your written apology.
I'll buy you a drink. You can drink until you get hammered.
I know this because I submitted a written apology many times.
Buying me a drink is not enough.
I might consider it if you treat me to a meal for a week.
Okay. I'll buy you a meal for a month.
Instead, change a few sentences.
Gosh.
Please be quiet.
I can't write it because you're distracting me.
What's wrong with you all? It's not helping my designer's block.
What are you doing here?
Pardon? Well...
I'm here to get a copy of a written apology.
A written apology?
Did the two of you cause some kind of trouble or what?
No, not me.
An unidentified security guard caused trouble.
He asked me to type one up for him, so I'm writing...
Right, I'm ghostwriting for him at the moment.
What? Ghostwriting, my foot.
I'll tell you what happened. Mr. Jo here...
told everyone that Ms. Choi isn't all there,
and even I was blamed for it.
No, that's not what happened. I really didn't do that.
Please believe me, Mr. Choi. I'm telling you the truth.
I'll be keeping an eye on the three of you.
- Be careful not to spread rumors. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Jang is taking the day off.
Message him if any urgent issues arise.
He's taking the day off?
That's not good. I need his approval on one of my designs.
You can try calling him.
Okay, I will.
It's Sun Ja.
Hi, Sun Ja. Why did you call?
Today? Sure thing.
Since you want to meet up, I shall make time for you.
No, I want to go too.
All of you are going. Why can't I go?
You said we should get married this year.
Then one of us must collect a paycheck each month.
She's right. I can only go because my husband has a stable job.
I wouldn't be going if we were relying on my income.
That's right. Listen to Ms. Kim.
As for me, Seon Hui can support herself,
so I don't really have any expenses. That's why it was an easy decision.
You know what? If Mr. Ahn and Yun Hee are drowning,
I'll just jump into the water and die.
If I rescue only one of them,
I won't be able to go on with my life because of the guilt.
Mister, just figure out how you can survive.
Mr. Ahn can swim very well.
My goodness.
Who can you rescue when you can't even swim?
Okay, fine. Do as you please.
But we can't get married until we're both earning stable salaries.
We'll put it off until then. Got it?
That is a good idea.
Then he'll work hard if he wants to get married soon.
All right, then. We'll submit our resignation letters together.
If we submit them to Mr. Ahn, he won't accept them.
How about we submit them directly to Mr. Heo?
Okay.
You're submitting resignation letters?
Are you all quitting?
Oh, Mr. Ahn is leaving to start his own business.
We want to go work for him.
Jin Ah, I guess you'll be the only one left on the team.
Where is he now?
He said he'd leave early after the resignation procedure.
Wouldn't it be good for you...
to stay at Hyunkang and figure out another way?
No, it's not something I can do at Hyunkang.
Since my recent health issues, I've been thinking...
I'm not sure how much longer I can stay at the company.
Could you please rethink this decision for my sake?
It wasn't easy for me to make this decision.
When you're embarking on a new journey,
the fear that comes with it is greater than the excitement.
I hope you can root for me.
All right.
The door here is always open for you.
You can come back whenever you want.
The thought that I have a place to go back to...
will make me become lax.
I won't think that is an option for me.
Okay.
Still, if you ever need my help,
feel free to contact me anytime.
I will, Mr. Heo.
I need a work experience certificate.
In English.
I have to submit it to a fashion school in the US. Yes.
I'll pick it up later in the day. Thank you.
- Is it done? - Yes.
I packed all the samples for you.
Thank you. I have to go to the office.
All right.
- Dad, I'm here. - Hey, Seung Joo. Come on in.
Say hello.
This is Mr. Song Jae Yun, the vice president of Song Printing.
He came here for work, but he said he wanted to have some tea with you.
Nice to meet you.
Actually, we've met before.
Oh, I see. Hello.
I didn't know you had a guest.
I'll come back later, then.
Gosh, don't be rude to our guest.
I asked him to stop by because of work.
Have a seat, okay?
Sit.
What's the change that we have to make?
It doesn't seem that durable. How could we fix it?
I think it's because of the fabric.
Poly spandex has great elasticity,
but it's not really durable.
Don't try to cut cost with fabrics.
You should buy good-quality fabrics.
I see. Thank you for your advice.
I'll be off, then.
- Okay. - What?
You're leaving already?
I have to go to Hyunkang to pick up my work experience certificate.
I heard work experience in the industry helps with admission.
- I'm off. - All right.
Well...
She comes across as prickly, doesn't she?
She's actually a tender-hearted girl though.
Yes, she is charming.
By the way, is she preparing to study abroad?
Oh, she wants to study fashion more,
but I'm trying to dissuade her from it at the moment.
(I have to go to work due to an urgent matter.)
(I'll be back soon. Don't worry even if I'm not home.)
I have to go to work due to an urgent matter.
I'll be back soon.
Don't worry even if I'm not home when you wake up.
Didn't you take the day off?
I came in for a few minutes because I have to approve a design.
What about Ms. Choi? You left her alone?
She's asleep. I left a note.
I'll hurry back before she wakes up.
My gosh, will she be all right?
She's been sleeping a lot day and night.
She took her medication, so she'll be fine.
Let me come with you. I'll go...
and make tteokbokki, Ms. Choi's favorite.
You know how to cook tteokbokki?
Goodness, I'm actually a great cook.
I rarely cook, but whenever I do,
people say that everything I make tastes absolutely amazing.
Mr. Jang.
I have to go to work too.
What time is it now?
You can't take off without paying your fare!
Pay your fare.
It's not that. I'm just...
Gosh, what is wrong with this woman?
You took my taxi, so you have to pay me!
What a thief.
What is this trick you're pulling?
Come on. Pay me right now.
What are you doing?
Don't get the wrong idea.
Hey, lady. Why did you take a taxi if you had no money?
My wallet... I think I forgot my wallet at home.
Then pay with your phone. Give me your phone.
My phone...
I must've left my phone at home.
I need to teach you a lesson.
Let's go to the police station.
I'm the managing director of this company.
If I call my secretary, she'll come down and pay you.
You're a managing director?
Gosh. Seriously. Here. Call your office.
What was the number?
What are you doing? Are you a con artist or what?
- Let's go to the police station. - No. I'm not going there.
- Let's go. - I haven't done anything.
How much is the fare?
Why? Will you pay it for her?
Just tell me how much it is.
It's 16 dollars, but give me 20 dollars for the waiting time.
Here you go.
I think she's not in her right mind.
You should take her to the hospital.
She really is the managing director of our company.
Let's go, Ms. Choi.
No. I can go by myself.
You said you don't have your phone or wallet.
Please wait here.
I'll call Si Woo.
Si Woo can't come here.
He's studying abroad.
How can he come here?
I see.
Then I will call Nam Jin instead.
This is the one that Jin Ah's mom bought.
But I don't want to buy the same clothes as her.
I'll buy this one.
(My Son)
Yes, Nam Jin.
I got here early. I'm looking around the clothing store.
The meeting with Mr. Heo went on for longer. I'm leaving now.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
Choose all the clothes you like.
All right. Take your time.
Watch out for cars.
Right.
I can convince him more easily if I buy him a new outfit.
Nam Jin, it's me.
Yes, Seung Joo.
I am with Ms. Choi right now.
Ms. Choi is asking for you.
Why is she with you?
Where are you now?
Nam Jin.
Nam Jin, what took you so long?
What happened to her?
Seung Joo said...
she came to the office by taxi in slippers...
without her phone or wallet.
The taxi driver tried to take her to the police station...
because she couldn't pay the fare.
Where is Seung Joo?
She brought Ms. Choi here and left.
Then what happens?
When Nam Jin's resignation is accepted,
a new team manager for Team Two will be hired.
Until then, I'll be in charge of the collaboration project.
It seems that everyone in the team is going to resign as well.
Is that true?
What should we do?
We have no choice but to move you to Team One...
and continue the project as one team.
I'm worried because you'll have even more work to do.
I can handle it.
Anyway, Nam Jin is amazing.
He has the power to attract people which made his team members...
decide to leave the company without hesitation.
To run a business,
you need the power to attract people like that.
Yes, Mr. Jang.
We're in trouble, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi disappeared.
What? What do you mean she disappeared?
What are you talking about?
(It's My Life)
Make sure no one in this company spread the word.
- Why did you tell the reporter? - It's true Ms. Choi's mind wanders.
You want me to invest my money in Nam Jin's business?
- It's not your money. - Why is it Nam Jin's money?
Can't you call me "Mom"?
Later. I'll do that later.
