01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

I'm Park Dan-dan.

Mister!

What are you doing here, miss?

What brings you to my house?

What?

"My house"?

Hold on.

Is he the owner of this house then?

What's going on?

I asked you a question.

What are you doing here?

Did you perhaps…

seek me out on purpose?

Of course not.

I'm only here

because Professor Jang Guk-hee
set me up with a job interview.

For the live-in tutor.

Are you…

Professor Jang's student?

Excuse me, but may I ask who you are?

Here's my resume.

Take care, then.

You must've been day drinking again.

Sorry?

Judging by your scraped knee.

If you choose to drink,
do so with caution.

And don't alarm others in the process.

I didn't drink today.

Also, I'm not the type of person
to day drink on any day.

-That day, I had my reasons--
-Fine.

I got it. You may leave now.

I apologize once again
for my actions that day.

I'm sorry.

Take care.

Hey, it's the lady from earlier.

Hi, there.

Goodness.

Was this interview today

the reason you urgently ran off earlier?

Yes.

You must be here for the interview.
Please enter.

I appreciate it.

How is your injury?

Gladly, it seems like
the bleeding has stopped.

But you should apply some ointment.

It's all right.
The injury isn't that severe.

Thank you again for what happened earlier.

Don't mention it. It's no big deal.

I'm glad the little guy was unharmed.

Wait. Can you give me
your bank account number?

You injured your knee
and ruined your clothes.

Let me pay for dry cleaning
and your treatment.

No, please don't. I'm honestly fine.

I can just wash these clothes.

Take care then. I'll get going.

But…

Did that young lady hurt herself
because of Se-jong?

Did something happen?

My goodness!

Gosh. If it weren't for her,

Se-jong could've been badly hurt.

My heart is still pounding.

I was so surprised.

Gosh, I'm so grateful.

But why was she in such a hurry to leave

after doing such a nice thing?

Did she make a mistake
during the interview?

I don't know.

Gosh, how could someone sound
so coquettish?

Young-kuk might be blown away

by a young girl's charms
after a long time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Please take care.

Did you have fun?

I could hear you roaring with laughter.

I did. Chairman Lee is so gentle

and witty.

Is it true
that he's the father of three children?

Mr. Ko told me that he has three children.

But he looks just like a bachelor.

Thank you for today. I'll give you a call.

Goodbye. I'll see you again.

Take care then.

Ms. Jo.

Ms. Jo, did you see that?

Everything she was wearing
was from designer brands.

Why would a girl like that
come here for an interview?

She seems suspicious.

I bet she made eyes at him.

She's out, okay?

My vote goes to the first one. Understand?

GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND

This is the living expense statement
for last month.

Last month, we filled up the pond,

put down a new lawn,

and changed the lights,
so we exceeded the budget.

Okay.

Well… Sir.

How did the tutor interview go?

Have you made up your mind?

The candidate named Jessica Lee
studied abroad

and has experience teaching
at an English kindergarten.

She's highly qualified for the job.

But I think we should keep looking.

What about the first candidate?

I don't think she belongs here.

What's wrong?
Do you have anything to say to me?

I think

you should let her work here.

Do you know her personally?

Not really.

I'm sorry, sir.

Earlier today, near the kindergarten,

Se-jong almost got into a car accident

while chasing after a ball.

Se-jong almost got into a car accident?

Yes.

But thankfully,

that woman who came for the interview

threw herself in front of the car
to save Se-jong.

She even injured her knee.

Is that true?

Yes.

Thanks to her,

Se-jong wasn't hurt at all.

You must've been day drinking again.

Sorry?

Judging by your scraped knee.

I didn't drink today.

Also, I'm not the type of person
to day drink on any day.

Sir, I'm well aware that

background and work experience
are all very important.

But I believe she's someone

Se-jong, Se-chan, and Jae-ni need.

Someone who's willing
to risk her life for children.

It's hard to meet someone like that.

RESUME: PARK DAN-DAN

Is Park Dan-dan really
one of your students?

Yes, she is. Why do you ask?

I just want to make sure if she's okay

since this is a live-in position.

Dan-dan has
a strong sense of responsibility,

and she's loyal.

She did well all throughout college.

She's not just smart.
She's a good-natured person.

You don't have to worry.

I guarantee.

You think?

LOCKERS

Where should I go?

I don't want to sleep in a sauna anymore.

What should I tell Professor Jang,
by the way?

She recommended me for the job.

If she finds out
that I drank and made a mistake,

she will be so disappointed.

Why on earth did I go
to the mountain that day?

Who is this?

Hello?

Is this Ms. Park Dan-dan speaking?

Yes. This is her. Who is this?

I'm Jo Sa-ra. We met earlier.

You've been hired as the live-in tutor.

What? Me?

Really? Did I really get the job?

Thank you so much.

Hey, are you sure this is all you have?

I thought you were rich.

But you have only 50,000 won?

What is going on?

My allowance is a set amount.

It's true that my family is rich,

but that doesn't mean
I have a lot of money.

Hey.

Are you bragging
about how rich you are now?

You just admitted
that your family is rich.

So you will bring us
100,000 won tomorrow, got it?

You can't care only about yourself.

You should share with others.

Don't be so selfish.

Okay?

Hey. What are you glaring at?
Lower your eyes.

Have you lost your mind?

Bring us 100,000 won
by this time tomorrow.

You know what will happen if you don't.

Hey, let's go.

I heard you saved Se-jong.

Thank you so much.

Gosh, it's nothing.

Even if it weren't me,

anyone would've done
the same thing, for sure.

It's no big deal.

I heard you hurt your knee
trying to save Se-jong.

I had no idea.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

Is your knee okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I applied ointment and put on a bandage.

It will heal up tomorrow.

It's no problem.

I'm glad
that you're not seriously injured.

Well…

I was sure I wouldn't get the job.

When I ran into you in the mountains, you…

I'm sorry.

I made a big mistake towards you, sir.

So why did you hire me?

Professor Jang recommended you.

And Ms. Jo liked you a lot.

Plus, I'm thankful that you saved Se-jong.

I also noticed your teaching career
at cram schools.

Please take

good care of my children.

Thank you.

I'll try my best. I'll work hard.

This is the room I'll be using?

Yes. We didn't replace
the previous tutor's furniture

because it's still clean.

If you have any issues
or if you need anything,

ask me anytime.

No, I'm fine.
This is more than enough for me.

This room has everything I need.

Jae-ni and Se-chan get extra lessons
for main subjects,

and they have a private tutor as well.

So with them,
just check if they're keeping up

and if they're doing
their homework on time.

Se-chan, especially.

He needs help
with scheduling and school supplies.

Okay.

So basically, your main duty is

to care for Se-jong, the youngest.

He's still young,
so please take extra care.

Okay, I'll do that.

I'll help you
with the detailed chores today.

Let's fill each other in
as we get used to everything.

Okay. I'll do my best to learn.

At first, I thought she was their mom.

Is Ms. Wang really the kids' grandmother?

She has no wrinkles at all.

She's so young and pretty.
I was surprised.

She takes good care of herself.

I see.

Ms. Yeoju,
can you tell Mr. Park to come over?

I'd like him to meet Ms. Park.

Mr. Park went to the seafood market.

Ms. Wang said she wanted steamed scallops.

You have the same last name.
You're both Parks.

You can meet Mr. Park next time.

Okay.

Here are the kids.

Jae-ni, Se-chan, say hello.

This is Park Dan-dan, your new tutor.

Hi, kids. It's nice to meet you.

Hello.

This one has such bad taste.

Do I? I'll work on my style.

I'm going upstairs.

I hope you'll understand.

She's like a viper these days

She will bite just about anyone

Se-chan.

I'm just stating the facts.
I'm going upstairs too.

Ms. Park.

Jae-ni and Se-chan are hitting puberty.

You understand, right?

Of course.

I've taught kids at academies, so I know.

Don't worry.

Yes. Think about the pay.

Nothing in the world is free.

I can handle ten kids like you.

Where is the kids' mother?
I haven't seen her yet.

Is she out?

You weren't told?

The kids' mom, the chairman's wife,

passed away two years ago.

That's why they need a live-in tutor.

What?

She passed away?

How dare she ditch
such an eligible bachelor?

Do you think that makes sense?

Guk-hee. I have a feeling
that Sa-ra is seeing someone.

Is it perhaps because of Young-kuk?

She has nothing to show for.

She has a decent face and figure.
That's it.

Her family isn't established.
She's poor and old.

She's not a professional
like a doctor or a lawyer.

It makes no sense.

Mi-sook.

Okay, fine.

I don't care whether
Sa-ra gets married or not.

I have problems of my own.

For instance, a certain sister
who's losing value.

What?

Losing value?

Are you talking about me?

Sit down, Guk-hee.

Guk-hee.

When you and Young-kuk
sat side-by-side the other day,

you looked really good together.

You make a great couple.

Mi-sook. If you're going
to talk nonsense, get out.

I have a lot to do.

Work isn't important right now.

What if some girl wins
Youngguk over while you sit idly by?

Where will you go to study then?

What?

You think I don't know?

You left Korea to study abroad
because of Young-kuk.

You were shocked and hurt
that he got married.

That's not true.

My gosh.

What are you talking about?

Don't make the same mistake again.

Do you think Young-kuk
will live alone forever?

So…

Mi-sook, get out.

Get out of here. Will you leave me alone?

-I have a lot to do.
-Guk-hee.

Did she know how I felt back then?

Se-jong.

Why didn't you study
your Chinese characters?

Chinese characters are too hard.

I don't want to study them.
Do I have to study them?

Se-jong, if you don't do something
because it's hard,

you'll tend to give up
whenever there's an obstacle.

Are you okay with that?

-No.
-Right?

You are your dad's son,

so you must be a smart man
who's good at everything.

That way, you can run a large company

and lead many people.

Let's do it.

English, math, Korean, and Chinese
are his daily lessons.

Please check them every day.

If he puts it off once,

it can become a bad habit,

so check it every day, okay?

Okay. I got it.

But Ms. Jo.

Se-jong already goes to kindergarten.

English and piano lessons
and daily workbooks too?

Isn't that too much for him?

He's just a kid.

You'll find out if you spend a while here,

but Se-jong is a very special kid.

He needs to study this much.
It's not a lot for him at all.

Okay.

By the way,
he had severe atopic dermatitis as a baby.

After he washes up,
make sure he puts on his special lotion,

make him brush his teeth,

and read him a book before bedtime.

I'll pick out what to read each day.

Okay, Ms. Jo.

I'm back.

Thanks a lot.

Ms. Yeoju.

Yes? What is it?

Can I go out to take care of something?

Where is Ms. Jo?

Go on, then.
Ms. Wang won't be going anywhere,

and you need a break too.

I'll tell Ms. Jo for you.

-Thank you.
-It's nothing.

Bye.

He must be well-educated. He's so gentle.

Is he married?

Silly me.

Is dinner almost ready?

I just need to steam the scallops.

Oh, right. Mr. Park said
he needed to go out, so I let him.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Oh, silly me.

I forgot to tell him
he should meet you, Ms. Park.

But there will be plenty of chances.
Meet him later.

Sure.

Get off.

Do you think I want to do this?

It's not right to live there in secret.

I'll come for you
as soon as I find a place.

Gold Realty said there might be
a suitable place for us.

Wait until then.

Take the fruit basket too.

Tell Hee-sook I'm grateful and sorry.

I'll call you later.

Why bother?

Don't even call me!

Dan-dan.

Dan-dan.

Dan-dan.

What do you want?

I'm so sorry.

Whatever.

You and Dad had an affair

and abandoned my birth mom.

That's how she died.
Do you think I didn't know that?

Did you hate her that much?

Then you should've abandoned me too
since I'm her daughter.

It must've been so hard for you
to put up with me the whole time.

Fine! I'll get out of your way now.

Okay. Get out. Leave immediately!

Gosh, Dad. What are you doing?
Please don't do this.

The receiver cannot be reached.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Dan-dan, where on earth are you?

Please tell me you're well.

Is this how prestigious families
raise their children?

Se-jong is only seven,
but he already sleeps on his own.

Doesn't it get scary for him at night?

Dad, I found a decent job,

and I'm doing well, so don't worry.

DAD, I FOUND A DECENT JOB,
AND I'M DOING WELL SO DON'T WORRY

-The chairman hired a new live-in tutor?
-Yes.

You barely managed
to have the last one fired

for flirting with Chairman Lee.

What if this one gets on your nerves too?

This time around, it's some hillbilly.

She's way younger.

She's the naive and absent-minded type.

Really?

I think the choice is stellar.

Besides, I won't let her
get away with any flirting.

Men need to have money
and good social status after all.

He's a father of three,

but women drool after him here and there.

Gosh, will it rain soon?

-My back is acting up again.
-Unbelievable.

Seriously?

Gosh.

No way.

What's this sound?

Could there be a stray cat?

What on earth is this sound?

Is this house haunted?

My gosh!

Se-jong, my gosh.

Se-jong, why are you crying here,
all alone in the dark?

Ms. Park.

It's all right. You're fine.

Se-jong, was it a nightmare?

It'll be all right now.

I'm here for you, so you'll be all right.

Let's go to your room together.

I don't want to.

I don't want to sleep
by myself in my room.

Okay. How about we go
to my room together instead?

Okay.

Ms. Park,

I'm sorry for waking you from your sleep.

Se-jong,

there's no need
to apologize to me, all right?

Ms. Park, I have a favor to ask.

I hope you'll grant it.

What's the favor? Just say the word.

Don't tell anyone that I cried.

If Se-chan finds out,

he'll tease me for being a crybaby.

I'm not a baby.

Got it. I won't tell a soul.

-Promise.
-I promise.

The thunder scared me,

so I only cried a bit.

It's not because I missed my mom.

I see.

I used to cry a lot
because I missed my mom.

Se-jong, you sure are brave.

Did you not have a mom either?

Is she dead?

-Yes.
-It's all right though.

Your mom will be watching over you

from the clouds as well.

What's going on?

Where did Se-jong go?

Se-chan. Lee Se-chan, wake up.

What is this about?

Where's Se-jong? Have you seen him?

Se-jong?

He's not here either.

Jae-ni.

Jae-ni! Wake up!

Are you kidding me?

You won't even let me sleep now?

What are you doing in my room
at this hour?

What's your problem?

Being my dad doesn't give you
the right to barge into my room.

Get out!

Jae-ni,

Se-jong is missing,
so I came looking for him.

Have you seen him?

Why are you looking for him in my room?

My gosh. What's going on?

Jae-ni,
why are you yelling so late at night?

The thunder and lightning were
already making me jumpy.

Have you seen Se-jong?
I don't see him anywhere.

Se-jong is missing? Isn't he in his room?

No. I've looked everywhere
on the second floor.

Then you should search the first floor.

Maybe he's grabbing a snack to eat.

He's not there.
I just came from the kitchen.

What's going on then?

Where could the little one have gone

when there's a storm outside?

Could it be…

Could it be what?

Maybe he sleepwalks

and is outside walking in the rain.

Ms. Wang, don't say something so scary!

He has never done
anything like that before.

What's the matter with you, Grandma?

I'm just worried, that's all.

Ms. Yeoju, can you check Ms. Park's room?

That's the only room I haven't checked.

Yes, Mr. Lee.

Come to think of it,
why hasn't Ms. Park sprinted out

when there's a commotion outside?

Hey, let's go.

My goodness. He's here.

Se-jong is in here!

Ms. Yeoju.

My gosh! Why is Se-jong here?

Ms. Park, what are you doing?

Why is Se-jong here?

It's just that Se-jong was scared

and wanted to sleep here.

Then you should've told me
or brought him to my room!

This is so annoying.

Talk about a big mess of things.

This chased all my sleep away. Darn it.

Ms. Park, the whole family
got up to look for Se-jong.

Didn't you know?

I didn't. I must've been fast asleep.

Ms. Park,

you can't be a heavy sleeper
when living in someone else's home.

My gosh.

Honey.

Honey.

Am I dreaming?

Honey.

Honey.

What am I hearing?

Honey!

Yeon-sil!

What on earth is going on?

What took you so long?

I've been calling you for ages.

Hee-sook and her ex-husband
got back together again.

She's now living with him and their kids,

so how could I possibly stay there?

Then you should've called.

Why were you out in the rain?

You should've taken a cab here.

I did take a cab.

But my phone died,

and I had no way of knowing
the address you texted me.

I had the cab driver circle around
the neighborhood multiple times,

but he ended up
getting angry and took off.

That's how this happened.

Do you have any idea how scared I was?

The thunder was roaring
and the rain was pouring.

All right.

Drink the water.

Slowly, it's hot.

I told you I didn't want to leave!

All right. I'm sorry for everything.

Now, drink up.

I'm freezing.

You can't take your medicine
on an empty stomach.

That will only burn your insides.

Here.

Have some.

It's salted pollack roe
and soy sauce braised beef.

How can salted pollack roe be

this fresh, plump, and light?

It's not the kind
we used to buy for ourselves.

This must be high-end.

Even the braised beef is good.
It melts in my mouth.

Honey, this beef must be prime grade.

How can they braise such quality beef?

Slow down, will you?

I hardly have to force myself
to eat the porridge.

How can porridge be this sweet?

Are you even sick?

Yes, I'm sick.

I have a high fever.

See for yourself if you must.

I guess you do have a fever.

See? I do, don't I?

I really am sick, you know.
My head is k*lling me.

Porridge and some medicine
will take care of it.

Stay at a studio apartment
for the time being.

There's a vacancy,
so I'll take you there later on.

No, this is where I'm staying.

Are you kidding me? If we're caught…

Then what?
The worst they can do is fire you.

Besides, I'm your wife.

It's not a sin for us to be together.

All right, fine.

I'll ask the chairman if I get the chance.

It's only temporary anyway.

Until then, lay low.

All right.

Of course, I will.

Honey,

I suddenly feel so much better.

The headache is still there though.

Let Se-jong sleep a while longer.

Got it.

Where are Jae-ni and Se-chan?

Jae-ni went to school
and Se-chan is still home.

Did Jae-ni leave without eating breakfast?

Yes.

Have a good day, sir.

I'm off to school.

-Have a good day.
-Have a good day, Mr. Lee.

Ms. Park, we need to talk.

Sure.

I don't care how scared Se-jong was,

you shouldn't have let him sleep with you.

It was thoughtless of me.

You should've at least called me.

From now on,
call me if anything happens to Se-jong

whether it's late at night or dawn.

Of course.

The kid was scared and in tears.

I'm sure
calling anyone didn't occur to her.

Ms. Park was only trying to be helpful,

so that's enough.

Ms. Yeoju,
change the children's sheets and covers

with the new ones.

Noted.

Ms. Yeoju,
I think I got on everyone's bad side.

What do I do?

These things happen.

It's nothing to feel guilty about.

Still, at least let me know
if something like that happens again.

Got it.

That poor kid.

He had no one to rely on
since his mother died.

That's why
he wanted to sleep with you in your bed.

Se-jong is still quite young,

so it might not be a bad idea

for him to sleep with Ms. Wang.

You still haven't noticed?

Ms. Wang isn't really interested
in the kids.

Well, you've only been here for a day.

Just so you know,
she's not their biological grandma.

Sorry?

She's not
the chairman's biological mother.

She used to be

his late father's mistress.

His mistress?

My goodness.
It couldn't look more natural.

No wonder the doctor is known

as the human sewing machine.

Talk about being talented.

You darn pig.

Have the gum I've been chewing,
why don't you?

Unbelievable.

MY TREASURE SE-RYEON

The receiver cannot be reached.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Seriously?

She rarely picks up these days.
What's with her?

She has to get married
to get her shares in the company

even though it's barely anything.

This won't do.

Something has to be done
before the end of the year.

Excuse me! Ms. Yeoju!

Sweetie.
Have a glass of cool mandarin juice.

I just squeezed it for you.

-Really?
-Yes.

It's so cool and refreshing.

I know.

Oh, right. Hang on.

Mr. Park.

Let me put some lotion on you.

-This is our premium treatment.
-Okay.

I'm putting it all over your body.

You are my precious sweetie.

My goodness.

What are you trying to pull now?

It's not like that.
I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm serious.

All right. You vixen.

Fine. Do whatever you want.

You must be crazy.

Hurry and put it back on.

Do whatever you want. Do you want more?

What is this sound?

Hang on. I think it's my mom.

Sweetie, you have to go hide.

-Hey! Lee Se-ryeon!
-Hide where?

Did you change the passcode again?

-Just go and hide somewhere.
-Gosh.

-Hey, Se-ryeon. Open the door!
-Oh, my.

-Go in there.
-Okay.

-Gosh.
-My goodness.

Baby, I'm really sorry.
Hang in there. Okay?

Hey, Se-ryeon!

I can't believe this.

-Open it!
-Okay, Mom.

Put them anywhere in the kitchen.

Yes, ma'am.

This is my daughter.

And this is my new driver, Mr. Park.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Please take good care of my family.

Thank you. You can wait in the car.

Yes, ma'am.

What? That sounds like my dad.

There's no way it's my dad.
I must've been mistaken.

Why did you change the passcode?

If you weren't home,
my visit would've been in vain.

What's the new passcode? Tell me.

I won't.

Mom, I told you not to show up
unannounced like this.

Then answer my calls.
Why didn't you take my calls?

It's not like I did it on purpose.

I put it on mute, so I didn't know.

Gosh, unbelievable.

They say other moms go shopping
and go on trips

with their daughters, like friends.

They go out to good restaurants together.

How could you be so uncaring to your mom?

You're the only one I have.

Gosh, there you go again.

When will you get married?

You have to get married

so you can inherit your shares
from your dad.

I'm so sick and tired of getting money
from your brother.

It's not like I can marry anyone
just to get my shares.

And Mom,
why do you even care about my shares?

Hey, Lee Se-ryeon.

How could you, of all people,
say such a thing to me?

Don't you know how I've raised you?

Your dad…

That old geezer sweet-talked me

into being his mistress

when I was only 20.

I never got to live a decent life.

And the jerk didn't leave me

a single penny when he died.

I will never forgive your dad.

You, of all people…

How could you say such a thing to me?

-Gosh.
-How could you…

Okay. I'm sorry, Mom.

You can have all my shares later. Okay?

I'm so sorry.

Gosh, I'm…

What is… What is this?

Isn't this men's underwear?

Hey!

It's nothing. It's a towel.

What do you mean it's nothing?

-Give me that.
-Gosh.

Hey, look at this. See?

I'm sure this is a man's underwear.

Why do you have it here?

Hang on. You punk.

I bet he's somewhere in here.

-Get out here immediately.
-Mom.

-You punk!
-What's wrong with you?

-I'm sure someone's here.
-Gosh, Mom.

-Hey, you punk! You!
-Mom.

-Let go of me.
-Dae-beom, run!

-Now!
-You!

-You idiot.
-Hurry and run!

You punk! There's the thief!

You punk!

Isn't that Dae-beom?

Catch him!

That jerk!

Catch him. Go get the punk.

You! That idiot…

Mr. Park, did you see
the crazy guy in a bathrobe?

Yes. He ran that way.

Then you should've caught him.

Now. Go get him.

-Hurry and catch him now!
-Okay.

That crazy punk! Catch him.

Go! Hurry and catch him.

Catch that punk!

Catch that crazy punk!

The crazy punk!

-Catch him!
-Well…

Oh, gosh.

What? Is he not here?

Did you lose him?

Yes. I don't see him.

Darn it. That thief! That darn rat!

-My gosh.
-Gosh.

-Gosh.
-What's the matter, Ms. Wang?

-Do you want me to call the police?
-What?

No. You should never call the police.

And don't ever tell my family
about this, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

I won't let that thief get away with this.

What? You met him at a club?

Yes.

Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?

Hey.

You let a man you met
at a club live with you?

What are you going to do now?

What do you mean?

Mom, Dae-beom is a nice guy.

He's not nice at all.

You met him while dancing at a club!

Mom, Dae-beom is a decent guy.

I can tell from his eyes.

From his eyes, my foot!
You must've lost your mind.

You aren't some heroine of a movie.
When will you grow up?

Break up with him right away!

If Young-kuk finds out about this,
he'll k*ll you

and me as well. I'll be dead too!

My goodness.

Seriously, how could you…

What's your problem?

Being my dad doesn't give you
the right to barge into my room.

Get out!

Hello, Mr. Yoon.

Mr. Lee wants to see me?

Why would Mr. Lee want to meet me outside?

Does he know how I feel?

The lipstick color is too dark.

Ms. Jo, how long have you been
working for my family?

It's been five years.

And I've never treated you
like this even once.

I apologize.

I'm grateful for all you do,

but I've never gotten to say so.

Not at all, sir.

You're such a busy person.

Take it.

What is it?

It's a bonus.

A bonus?

You covered the duties
of a tutor for over a month.

You did so much for us.

And you often worked late.

It's really fine.
You don't have to do this.

Don't refuse it, Ms. Jo.

I'll feel better doing this.

Then…

I'll gratefully accept it.

I wanted to give you a two-week break,

but that…

will have to wait
until the new tutor settles in.

Take extra care

so that Ms. Park can settle in quickly.

Yes, sir. Don't worry.

I realized that

having you at home was the reason

I could concentrate at work.

I'm really grateful.

Don't be.

Before your wife passed away,

she asked me
to take care of you and the kids.

I gave her my word
that she wouldn't have to worry.

I'm sorry for bringing up your late wife.

Let's eat.

Yes, sir.

Is it to your taste?

Yes. It's delicious.

Sir. You bought me a lovely dinner.

Let me buy you tea.

Let's have tea another time.

Okay, then.

Is that true?

You and Chairman Lee
really had dinner alone?

Yes.

His secretary told me where to go,

and he was waiting on his own.

At a top-class restaurant.

Hey, that's where you figure out
how someone feels.

Did he really take you
to a top-class restaurant?

Yes, he did.

He wants to have tea another time.

Isn't that a date?
He asked you out, didn't he?

See, Mom? He's not
entirely disinterested in me.

He does care.

It's just that his wife died
only two years ago.

He's being cautious.

He would have to consider
what people think.

I brought up his dead wife on purpose.

He acted so indifferently.

Did he?

That's good, then.

It is time for him to forget
about his dead wife.

You just have to sit back and trust me.

I'll make you rich.

I was just afraid

we were dreaming big
only to be left with nothing.

The chairman can't ignore
his wife's dying wish.

She asked me
to look after him and the kids.

What do you think that means?

It means that you must be his next wife.

-That's right.
-Hey.

Why didn't you record that?

The chairman was there too.

So don't worry about anything.

Great. At last.

Son. You're not sick, are you?

Okay.

When do you finish med school?

Mom. I'm trying to sleep.

Okay. Sorry, Jun-o. Bye.

Hang on.

I need to open a clinic for him
after he graduates.

I also have to marry off my sister.

She really needs to snag Young-kuk.

That will solve all my problems.

Wait. Hang on.

I need to do something.

His mother likes Korean lettuce kimchi.

I'm sorry.

Sa-ra turned down
a really eligible bachelor,

so I got carried away with frustration.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I should apologize.

I raised my daughter to forget her place.

I'm so sorry about that.

We should remember where we come from.

Oh, come on. Why do you twist things?

I said I'm sorry.

What is it you really want to say?

Well, Ki-ja…

Korean lettuce kimchi.

Can you make me a batch?

Why do you suddenly want
Korean lettuce kimchi?

I'm craving it really badly.

Just because
she's letting me stay for cheap,

she's making me make
green onion kimchi, geotjeori,

and now Korean lettuce kimchi?

Sure.

I'll make some in a long time.

Will you really make some? Ki-ja.

You are truly all I have.

Peel this.

The phone is turned off.

Why isn't Jae-ni picking up?
What's going on?

Should I call Ms. Jo?

Ms. Park.

Is something the matter?

Well…

The truth is, sir.

Jae-ni hasn't come home yet.

What?

What about the others?

Se-jong is in bed,

and Se-chan is bathing
after finishing his homework.

But Jae-ni hasn't come home
and she's ignoring her phone.

She's not picking up?

Her last stop for the day
was her English class.

-I called them.
-The phone is turned off.

Her class ended over two hours ago.

Over two hours ago?

Why didn't you call me until now?

I assumed she'd come home soon

and just waited.

-I guess I shouldn't have.
-Ms. Park.

Is this how you do your job?

I'll go out to look for her.

Call me if she comes home.

Yes, sir.

Lee Jae-ni.

What time is it?

Your class ended two hours ago.

Where were you until now?

I'm tired.

Tell me where you were until now.

I don't want to.

What?

What are you playing?

Why? Do you tell me

where you go and whom you meet?

I'm your dad.

Why are you doing this
when you don't care about me?

So what if you're my dad?

I don't want to talk to you. I'm tired!

You can go to your rooms.

I feel so sorry for him.

What do you want?

Jae-ni. Is something wrong?

I noticed some soil on your uniform.

Did you fall over?

Don't mind me
and close the door as you leave.

Okay. I'll do that.

What am I supposed to do?

What if I get fired at this rate?

I can't afford that to happen.

I promised Se-jong
that I'd stay with him for a long time.

Ms. Park, hurry!

Sure thing. Just a second.

Wait for me!

Find me if you can!

As if I couldn't.

Where could Se-jong be?

Wait. He'll be late for kindergarten.

But his teacher said
she'd be waiting for him.

She said she would give him
tasty snacks today.

What should I do if I can't find Se-jong?

This is bad.

Ta-da!

My gosh! Where were you hiding?

Take me to kindergarten.

Sure thing.

Se-jong, not so fast. You'll trip.

-But…
-Not so fast!

What on earth?

Was I dreaming of Dan-dan?

I definitely heard her voice just now.

Honey.

Didn't you just hear Dan-dan's voice?

What are you talking about?

Why would we hear her voice from here?

That's odd. It was definitely her voice.

I fell asleep just now

and heard her giggle and say,

"Wait for me!"

It must've been a dream.

Honey,

I must be worried to the point
that I'm dreaming about her.

Honey,

do you think
she's at least properly eating?

She's probably doing just fine,
so don't worry.

Get in there!

Who is it?

Mr. Park, it's Ms. Yeoju.

Oh, right. Just a second.

I made braised short ribs for breakfast
and they turned out great.

I brought some over for you to have.

I see. Thank you for this.

Let me know if you want some more.

That's quite all right.
This is more than enough.

Could you perhaps offer me
a cup of coffee?

What on earth?

I have time to spare right now.

I have some urgent business at the bank,

so I want to pay a visit
before Ms. Wang asks for me.

Could I take a rain check on that coffee?

Really?

Too bad.

I'll hold you to that promise then.

Right. Thank you for the ribs.

Honey.

Was that woman flirting with you?

Lower your voice.

Who does that darn cow think she is?

What? "Could you perhaps
offer me a cup of coffee?"

Is she out of her mind?

Lower your voice!

Hold on.

Is she the reason why you wanted me gone?

To have coffee with her

after sending me away?

Are you kidding me?

I'm putting my foot down.

There's no way
I'm leaving this place on my own.

Got it?

Anyway, lift the lid off that pot.

Here.

Why aren't you going inside?

Ms. Park, will you pick me up later on?

You won't go away?

Of course not.
I'll be here to pick you up,

so don't worry.

Ms. Park, you promised
to stay with me for a long time.

You'll keep that promise, right?

Of course.

We made a pinky swear, remember?

I will be in your life for a long time.

Right.

For the sake of Se-jong who trusts me,

I will do a better job.

I must do better.

Ms. Park,

can you take this geotjeori
to Mr. Park at the annex?

You can say hello while you're at it.

You haven't met him yet, have you?

Sure, I'll do that.

The crazy flirt must be back.

Go!

Turn her down.

Tell her you can't have coffee
because you have a wife.

Get in there!

-I got it.
-Get in there already.

Who is it?

Ms. Yeoju sent me over.

What?

Isn't that Dan-dan's voice?

Get back in there!

Sure thing. Just a second.

Hello, I'm Park Dan-dan.

Dan…

Dan-dan.

Dad.

My goodness. Look who it is.

It really is Dan-dan.

Mom.

My gosh.

What are you doing
hiding in someone else's home?

How can you be so reckless?

Rather than both getting the boot, it's
better that at least one keeps the job.

I can't leave,

-so you'll just have to find another job.
-Hey!

I can't mooch off you forever.
That's not who I am.

Sweetie, is this because
you don't trust me?

He's the son of Miso Steel's CEO? Really?

I need to lay a bridge
between her and Youngguk.

Why did you have to use the kimchi
I made for something like this?

Don't use your friendship as an excuse

to get close to Chairman Lee.

Who are you to move her things?
Why did you move them?

Are you seeing someone? Is that why?

Chairman Lee, kids have emotions too,
and they can get heartbroken.

-Jae-ni, tell me right now.
-No, don't.

Ms. Park, tell me right now!
