(Episode 18)
They split up?
But he loved his wife so much.
I wonder what happened.
And why did he live in that storage room for years?
Mr. Get Out, please don't go anywhere.
Live here with us for a long time.
I'll buy you hot dogs, which you love.
And I'll take great care of Peter as well.
I like you, Mr. Get Out.
From Ha Eun.
I'm impressed. You've gotten a lot better at this.
Thank you.
There's a saying that's often used in the game of Go.
"If you underestimate your opponent, you will lose."
You must never underestimate your opponents and do your best...
no matter how weak they seem.
I'll remember that.
I'm going out. I have to attend a year-end charity event.
See you later.
Dad, did you and Mom have an argument or something?
No, we didn't.
I guess I talk about money a lot.
That's why that little girl made this for me.
I'd love it if a huge chunk of cash suddenly fell into my lap.
Money is the bane of my existence.
Hey, Bong Sun. Did you get a hold of him?
What?
What do you mean? The realtor fled?
What did you say?
My money.
Gosh, my money.
My gosh, what do I do?
- This is for you. - What is this?
Just something little, ma'am.
We'll be leaving, then.
- Who is it? - I am Hwang Yeon Su.
Someone named Hwang Yeon Su is here.
What? Hwang Yeon Su?
What is she doing here?
All right, you can let her in.
Yes, sir.
- Did you ask her to come by? - No.
Hello, sir.
I hope I'm not interrupting you during the holidays.
Not at all. Welcome.
What brings you here?
Have a seat first.
Thank you.
Someone sent me rare medicinal liquor and wild pine mushrooms.
It made me think of you,
so I brought them although it's rude to visit unannounced.
My gosh, these are rare delicacies.
But why don't you just give them to your father?
I don't have a father. He passed away when I was young.
Gosh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
It's okay. I'll be off, then.
Food is ready, sir.
Why don't you join us for some food?
It's okay, sir. I don't want you to think that I'm discourteous.
Just join us.
Sir, may I pour you a glass of the wine I brought?
Yes, sure.
I heard ginseng wine relieves fatigue...
and boosts your immune system.
If you have a glass of it before bed,
you'll feel much more energized the next day.
I see.
This wine is delicious.
Kate told me...
that you're a huge asset to the team.
- Keep up the great work. - Of course, sir.
Min Hyuk.
Make sure she has everything she needs to do her job well.
- Okay. - He already takes...
such great care of me, sir.
All right, eat up.
Thank you very much for allowing me to join you.
- Thank you for the food. - All right.
- Eat as much as you'd like. - Thank you.
Let's eat.
Then make yourself at home.
I have to go through some reports.
Thank you, sir.
You should get going.
Would you like some tea? Shall I make some tea for you?
Come in.
Have some tea.
You're still here?
Mr. Han, are you avoiding me?
Well, I'm...
You keep avoiding eye contact, and you won't even see me out.
Is it because of what I did last night?
No, it's not that.
If that's the reason, please don't worry about it.
And don't try to distance yourself from me.
You're making me feel bad.
- Ms. Hwang, I'm just... - What?
It's "The Foreigner".
I love this book.
From time to time, I feel like...
I don't belong anywhere like the main character of this book.
Before joining Noyu upon finishing my studies abroad,
I was always an outsider.
You probably can't understand me.
Well, you should leave.
What is happening here?
Mom.
Why are you here? What on earth are you doing here?
- Let me explain, ma'am. - How dare you come into this room?
And how dare you sit on my son's bed?
- Mom, I'll explain. - Why are you here?
What did you do here with my son?
What on earth did you do?
Mom, let her go.
I asked you what you were doing!
Let go of her, please!
Ma'am, you got the wrong idea.
"The wrong idea"?
Then why did you come all the way here?
I've warned you.
Please forgive me.
Forgive you?
So you must've done something that needs to be forgiven.
- No, it's not that. - You need to know your place.
Listen. Do you think I'm a joke?
Do you think I'm a big joke?
- Enough! - Do you look down on me?
- What did you say? - I should go.
- Ms. Hwang. - You're not going anywhere!
Have you been seeing her behind my back all this time?
I told you that is not the case.
Then what was she doing in your room?
Have you forgotten?
Don't tell me you've forgotten what you went through because of her.
Of course not.
- How could I forget that? - Then what's going on?
You're the one that brought her to the company.
No, I didn't. She came asking for a job.
I gave her the job only because I had no choice.
I would've never hired her had I known this would happen.
I told you nothing's going on.
Are you sure?
- Can I believe you? - Think whatever you want.
Hey.
Gosh, that fool.
That's it. Great!
Have dinner without me.
- Mom, where are you going? - To see friends.
Mom, you're wearing different socks...
Mom. Mom!
Ha Eun, it's your turn.
- Nice. - My goodness.
Nice, okay!
You and J lost.
The two of you have to run an errand for us.
What are you waiting for? Get moving.
Well...
I'm not sure if I can ask you this,
but why did you and your wife split up?
Were you not able to get your parents' permission?
Is that why you two broke up?
What about your baby?
Is she raising the kid?
I don't want to answer the question.
Okay.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I was being too nosy, wasn't I?
I figured you were probably no longer together...
because you've changed so much in the past five years.
What I'm trying to say is... When things get very tough,
we all need help, you know?
At times like that, you can vent to me...
What does that change?
The moments that have passed will never return.
You're right.
They will never return.
But...
your future awaits you.
Come with me.
In 1, 2.
Punch!
(Bonus: 740, Credit: 720)
Nice.
Try it. It'll melt your stress away.
I don't want to.
Come on. Try it.
(Bonus: 760, Credit: 703)
Let me try again. I didn't hit the center.
No way. That's not fair.
Then let's play baseball instead.
I've never done it before though.
You're good.
- Do you want to try it? - Yes, I'd love to.
Hold it like this.
Bend your knees.
Move your arms like this.
You see that over there, right? The ball will come out of there.
Hold it firmly and swing it when the ball comes out.
Well, okay.
Don't take your eyes off the ball.
Did you see that?
Come on!
That was a good start.
Toward your future.
Just face it head-on and conquer it.
Let go of all the anger, emotional wounds, and despair...
you've been bottling up inside and start afresh.
That's what I did.
To survive,
because I had a reason to survive.
A reason?
Yes, you must go on with your life when you have such a reason.
So you should find it too.
Your reason to survive.
We're back!
Mom, what's wrong?
Grandma must've had a fight with her friend.
Did something happen, Mom?
Ha Eun, can you go to your room and draw something?
Okay.
Mom's been conned.
She bought a piece of land that's not sellable.
The conman has fled.
What?
What should I do?
Those realtor scumbags...
approached me to dupe me.
Gosh, my 50,000 dollars...
- My gosh. - What? 50,000 dollars?
Mom, where did you even get that kind of money?
Well...
I had 30,000 dollars, and I borrowed 20,000 dollars from someone.
From who? Who lent you the money?
Who lent you that much money?
I took out a private loan.
A private loan?
What were you thinking?
Mom, don't you know how scary things can get with private loans?
I must've been out of my mind.
Gosh, I wasn't in my right mind. What should I do?
Don't you have his number?
We can probably track it.
I tried, but it's a burner phone.
And all the information is fake.
Mom, why did you do such a thing?
What on earth were you thinking?
It's not like I did it for my own selfish greed.
I only did it because I was told that the price will go up by a lot.
The owner of the oil store kept egging me on.
But she was duped too.
Gosh, my 50,000 dollars.
What should I do?
Gosh, what do I do...
Why are you so startled?
You're home early. You said you had plans.
I got tired, so I left early.
I'll be in my study.
I'll take a bath, so run the water for me.
I can't believe I was so happy about getting this stupid thing.
How pathetic.
The design's been approved. Good work.
This time, we owe it all to Ms. Hwang.
Her designs showcased...
hidden charms of windbreakers.
Well done.
Ms. Han, my teammates, and I did it together.
What's the timeline like for the fabric?
They can start making it starting next week.
I'm putting together the work order at the moment,
and all other materials are ready as well.
As for the ad, we're still discussing the concept.
We will keep you updated.
We plan to book a meeting with the model...
sometime this week.
Everything must go without a hitch.
All right.
This is Noyu's ambitious project for the second half of next year.
Let's show everyone what we can do.
- Okay. - Okay.
We should get back to work.
Ms. Hwang, can you spare me a second?
My mom was out of line yesterday.
I want to apologize on her behalf.
It's okay.
She's your mother, so I understand...
why she's concerned.
Don't worry about it.
- So Won. - Yes?
You look listless today.
Don't mind me.
About the intra-company loan...
Why? Do you want to take out a loan?
You're just a part-timer, so you're obviously not eligible.
Right, of course.
- So Won. - Yes?
Don't you have work to do?
Yes, I do. I should get some work done.
Are we making the windbreaker with this fabric?
Yes, isn't it so nice?
It's a newer and better version of N-tex. Of course it's nice.
- Soo Ho. - Yes.
You told us about your mother's jacket.
You said the fabric is nicer than this, right?
Yes, I told you.
There's such fabric?
Yes, my mom bought the jacket.
It's much more cooling than this, and it feels nicer too.
Where did she buy it?
At Dongdaemun Market, a long time ago.
Yes, it must be the fabric Mom and I developed.
If only I had the file with all the information on the technology...
Hi, Mom.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
What? The loan shark called?
All right.
I'll see if I can borrow some money.
Okay.
What was that about?
Nothing.
I overheard you talking about a loan shark. Did something happen?
It's none of your business.
I clearly heard her saying "a loan shark".
So they're in urgent need of money.
This will be easy, then.
Mom.
My gosh.
Has Ho Jin found out anything?
The conman must've gone off the grid. Ho Jin can't find him.
The loan sharks are harassing me.
What should we do? I can't think of anyone who'd lend us money.
My blood boils whenever I think about that woman.
That witch.
"Witch"?
Oh, the woman who stole your money?
Yes. It still keeps me up at night...
because thinking about it makes me so angry.
If only I had that money...
By the way,
how did you save up that much money when you were in middle school?
I had to take two years off...
because my family went bankrupt.
I lived away from my family during those two years.
I worked at my relative's store and did house work to earn money...
and saved every penny. That was my hard-earned money.
You went through so much, Mom.
That's fine. I don't care.
I just don't want you guys to struggle.
But I'm stressing you guys out because I got myself in trouble.
Ha Eun, what are you doing?
I'm writing a letter to Dad.
To your dad?
Yes, I'll give it to him when he's home.
Mom, when will he come home?
Tell him to come home soon.
I want to see him. Please?
He didn't even come home for Christmas.
My friends got Christmas presents from their dads.
Are you listening? I'm talking about Dad!
Tell him to come home soon. Very soon!
- Stop it, Ha Eun. - No, I'll keep saying it.
Ha Eun.
Even you have to stress me out like this?
I'm already having such a hard time.
Then bring Dad home. You're all talk.
I hate both you and Dad.
Bring him home. Bring him home now!
How could I? I can't bring him home.
Your dad can't come home. He just can't.
He can't come home?
Well...
Why not? Why can't he come home?
Ha Eun.
Listen to me carefully.
The thing is...
Your dad...
can't come home.
He passed away.
He passed away?
You said Dad was working abroad to earn money.
I'm sorry, Ha Eun.
I lied to you.
I didn't want to break your heart.
I didn't want you to be sad.
But I should've been more thoughtful.
He can't come back, so don't wait for him.
Liar. You're bad, Mom.
I'm sorry, Ha Eun.
I'm sorry. Forgive me, Ha Eun.
But I want to see Dad.
I don't even know what he looks like.
How could he pass away without even meeting me?
Dad...
I'm sorry, Ha Eun.
- I'm sorry. - Why did you make her cry?
Grandma, did my dad pass away?
What?
You said that to her?
Did you?
Gosh, you poor thing.
My gosh, it's all my fault.
It's all Grandma's fault.
- My sweetheart. - Grandma, I hate you too!
Ha Eun, wait...
Ha Eun.
Ha Eun, why are you crying?
What's wrong?
Mom said Dad passed away. He's dead.
What?
What's she talking about?
He died? What do you mean?
You said he was working abroad.
Tell me.
Is what Ha Eun just told me really true?
Yes, it's true.
Ha Eun, stop crying. Let's go back inside.
So you've been lying to me all this time?
Why didn't you tell me?
I told her not to tell you.
Mom.
She wanted to tell both you and Ha Eun a long time ago,
but I told her not to do that.
I didn't want anything bad to happen to Ha Eun,
and you were under a lot of stress due to your studies.
I didn't want to distract you, so I told her not to tell you.
So Won has been going through a lot on her own.
So...
he died in an accident?
How could that happen?
What are we going to do about Ha Eun?
She must be so hurt emotionally.
Ha Eun will get through it.
You know...
that she's a strong girl, just like me.
So Won.
It must've been so hard for you.
I'm okay.
I'm sorry, Ho Jin.
I said that without even realizing it.
What do we do now, Mom?
Ha Eun's heart must be broken.
It must be painful now, but this, too, shall pass.
Actually,
this may be a good thing.
You said a while ago that you wanted to tell her.
Still...
I didn't want to do it this way.
It was bound to happen anyway.
A boil must be drawn out for it to heal, you know.
Mom.
I feel so guilty whenever I think about Ho Jin and Ha Eun.
You have no reason to feel guilty.
You did nothing wrong.
I know how you feel, and so does the universe.
No one will blame you.
Mom.
Gosh, you poor thing.
My gosh.
You poor thing.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Mr. Han Jae Hyuk's shares have gone up again by 0.7 percent.
What?
He doesn't even do anything.
Min Hyuk is doing all the work.
Unbelievable.
Alumni reunion, my foot.
Who else is here?
There's a full list here.
(Name: Jang Hwa Ran)
Who is this? It is that hammer witch.
My gosh,
(Name: Jang Hwa Ran)
Goodness, she hasn't aged at all. My gosh.
I'm here, but how am I going to go in?
Why would the chairman's wife come all the way here...
to meet a mere designer?
Why isn't Jae Hyuk picking up?
Oh, who is this?
- Pardon me? - You...
Jang Hwa Ran. You're Jang Hwa Ran, right?
Do I know you?
We used to live together in Gangneung. Remember?
I'm Song Dan Shil. I used to be known as Scissors in Ssanggwon-dong.
You're Jang Hwa Ran, Hammer of Bulcheon-dong.
Jang Hwa Ran, you witch!
(Bad Love)
I've been waiting for this day to teach you a lesson.
I told you that you got the wrong person!
I'm about to go crazy because of my money problem.
Why did you have lunch with Mr. Han? Are you interested in him?
Do you have feelings for him?
I can't believe this.
You dumped Ho Jin and left.
And now, you're jealous of me because of Mr. Han.
No, please don't.
Okay, I'll pay you back.
How could you spend that money?
We don't even know who sent it.
Who found this in our mailbox?
Yeon Su? Yeon Su was here?
