[bunniefuu]

Hello, I'm Park Dan-dan…

Dan…

Dan-dan.

Dad.

My goodness. Look who it is!

It really is Dan-dan.

Mom.

What's going on?

Why are you here?

I got a job here as a live-in tutor.

What are you two doing here?

Your dad got a job here
as a live-in driver.

He just started working here.

How can this be?

Then,

you're the driver they were referring to?

No way.

How can you be doing this for a living?

Dan-dan.

You should've called us if you got a job.

After storming out, you ignored our calls.
Do you have any idea how worried we were?

We didn't know if you were alive,
dead, or starving to death.

Your dad has lost so much
weight because he was so worried.

That's enough.

We got to see her here
and she seems fine, so we're good.

Nothing bad happened, right?
You're not sick or anything, right?

I kept hearing your voice around here
and I thought I was hearing things.

It turns out that I didn't have
a problem with my hearing.

My goodness.

How could we run into
each other like this?

In the same house, no less.

So what are we going to do now?

What will the chairman think
once he finds out?

No one will believe that
a father and daughter

worked at the same place without knowing.

Come to think of it, you're right.

They really might find it suspicious

and think this was planned
from the very beginning.

They'll understand
once we explain our situation.

That's what you think.

Put yourself in their shoes.
They could find it unsettling.

What if you tell the chairman
and he fires you both?

Where will you go
when we have no place to live?

And why exactly
do we have no place to live?

Whose fault is this?

What did you just say?

How can you say that to your mom
who you haven't met in such a long time?

What are you doing?

I'll discuss it with Ms. Jo first.

Just pretend like
you don't know anything for now.

Like Mom said,
I don't want us both to get fired.

We have nowhere else to go.

By the way,

what are you doing here mom?

No way. Have you been living here
in secret?

What? No, it's not like that.

I haven't found a place to stay yet.

So I'm staying here
until I find a new place.

What?

Even if that's the case,

what are you doing,
hiding in someone else's home?

What if you get caught?
Dad will get in trouble.

How can you be so reckless?

My goodness.

Gosh, how could she say
such a thing to me?

Hey!

She's so spiteful!
Where does she even get that?

My gosh.

Where do you think you're going?

I said I'll take care of everything.

I can't mooch off you forever.

That's not who I am.

Sweetie.

Why would you say that?

I said I'm fine with it.

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

It's not that I don't trust you.

Your mom could barge in again anytime.

And I can't hide in the closet
every time she does.

Do you want me to run around naked again?

Fine. I'll make sure
Mom never comes in here again.

Then it's fine, right?

That doesn't solve anything.

I've realized that

we are too different.

Se-ryeon, I will get a job
as soon as possible

and come back as a decent guy.

Can you wait until then?

You're already a decent guy.
So you don't have to leave.

I'll take care of everything.
Just trust me. Okay?

Se-ryeon.

What?

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

Really?

Yes.

Then why did he run away?
What did he do so wrong?

It's not that he did something wrong.

It was because he was embarrassed.

If you were him,

can you say hello
in nothing but a bathrobe?

I guess you're right.
He was naked in a girl's house.

In the old days,
he would've gotten a good beating.

You should've told me sooner.

I'm letting this slide because
he's from the Miso Steel family.

Had I known,
I wouldn't have been so rude to him.

I was going to tell you
when the time was right.

So, Mom…

Pretend not to know anything
for the time being. Okay?

Sure. I got it.

But nothing good comes out of
dragging things out for too long.

When will you introduce me to him?

Just wait.

We just started dating.

Your brother will be so happy to know
that you're dating the son of Miso Steel.

Still,

don't tell Young-kuk about it yet.

I'll tell him myself

once things are settled.

Okay. This is a big deal,
so I have to keep it a secret.

I thought he seemed somewhat noble.

He ran like an athlete.

He seemed vigorous and manly.

Gosh, look at you.

You did a good job this time.

-Goodness.
-Did you think I'd date some random guy?

Gosh, you're unbelievable.

Se-ryeon, we have your favorite dish.
Braised tofu and lotus root salad.

Gosh, I'll eat it myself.

Young-kuk, do you have any good news?

Good news?

I mean, did you perhaps get a girlfriend?

You're not going to live alone
for the rest of your life, right?

Hey, he's still young.
He won't live alone all his life.

It'll just take time to meet someone nice.

I mean,

considering the situation he's in,

I think he should date someone near him.

Someone who gets along with kids.

You know,

I think Guk-hee's great.

She's calm and kind.

She never changes.

Young-kuk, why don't you ask her out?

That's a good idea.

Her sister, Ms. Jang, is also affable

and they are from a good family.

Since she's a professor,
she'll educate the kids well.

How long are you going to be like that?

Do you even want to come back
and work for the company?

Young-kuk, I've only taken two months off.

Leave me alone.

She's right.

Just let her rest for the time being.

She should have some time
to date and stuff.

You shouldn't date any random guy.

Why would she date random guys?

Don't you worry.

Se-ryeon has high standards.

Why hasn't Dan-dan called?

She said she'd look into it,
but we haven't heard from her since.

Honey, try calling Dan-dan.

We should come up with a plan.

Just wait a while.

Dan-dan has her own work.
She can't just call us anytime.

I'm just anxious.

I mean, how could this happen?

Tell me about it.

Would Chairman Lee be okay with this?

There's no way he'll be okay with it.

Who'd believe that you and Dan-dan got
a job at the same house by accident?

That would only make
our family look like a mess.

You're right.

It's not easy to understand.

Gosh. I blame Dan-dan for everything.

Why did she block our numbers
in the first place?

Had we talked to each other,
none of this would've happened.

Gosh.

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?

What do I do?

Dad and I aren't supposed to be here.

What? Are you serious?

The former maid and driver hid that
they were family and got caught?

They're ridiculous.

So they never hired anyone
from the same family since then.

So, you didn't even talk to Ms. Jo?

What are you talking about?

They never hire those
who are from the same family.

What do you think that means?

If they find out that you two
are father and daughter,

both of you might get fired.

Dan-dan, what should we do now?

-What do you think…
-Why do you even ask?

Rather than both getting the boot,

it's better that
at least one keeps the job.

We have no choice.
Dan-dan, you should quit.

Mom, why are you telling me to quit?

I had to crash at my friend's place
before I finally got a job here.

If I quit, I have no place to go.

What? And you think we do?

You're alone, but we aren't.

If your dad quits, where would we go?

Will you be quiet?

Okay.

I'll get things sorted out and quit,

-so--
-What are you talking about?

You're still young, so you can go
anywhere. You can stay with your friends.

But if your dad and I leave,
we'll have no place to stay.

We'll need money to find a place to live.

It's not like we can live
in a studio at our age.

So why did you have to lose our house?

Why do you think we went broke?

It's because of you
and that punk, Dae-beom.

Gosh. Fine.

I know, okay? It's all my fault.

Still, how could you say such a thing
to your own mother?

And what about you? How could you
do this to your own daughter?

Do you even consider me your daughter?

What? I can't believe what you're saying.

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

Did I ever let you starve

or send you on a picnic without lunch?

I ran to the hospital with you
on my back when you got sick,

and I tied and braided your hair
every morning.

I can't believe this.

Why aren't you saying anything?

What did I do so wrong?

Some moms even abandon their own children.

Will you stop?

I can't leave,

so you'll just have to find another job.

Wait, Dan-dan…

Hey!

I may be a useless mom,
but how dare you treat me like this?

What? "That punk, Dae-beom"?

He's your older brother!

Everything's a mess.

What am I supposed to do?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Why are you feigning ignorance?

She thinks we had an affair
and kicked out her mom who then died.

That's why Dan-dan treats me
the way she does.

She has no idea her mom left her.

You tell me.

Did we have an affair?

We agreed not to talk about that.

We did.

But I can't take it anymore.

Dan-dan is an adult now.

So tell her the truth.

Tell her that her mom left her
and that we're not bad people.

That we didn't have an affair.

You want me to tell her
that her mom abandoned her?

-Honey.
-If you

ever say that again,
I won't live with you.

It'll be over between us.

What?

Over?

Honey.

How can you tell me it'll be over?

Honey.

Honey.

Where did you go at this time of night?

Well…

I went to the convenience store
to get something.

At this time of night,

leaving the kids alone?

If you must leave the kids alone at night,

tell Ms. Yeoju, Ms. Jo,

or me first.

I'll do that.

I'm sorry.

LODGINGS PROVIDED

SECURITY GUARD, FACTORY WORKER,
OPERATOR, CLUBHOUSE COOK

What am I supposed to do?

Why is my life never easy?

Why aren't you eating?

Is something bothering you?
Did you get told off again?

No. I just don't have an appetite
since it's early in the morning.

Have some bulgogi, seasoned vegetables,

and some kimchi.
It'll bring your appetite back.

Thank you.

I'm back.

Mr. Park, are you
back from the market already?

Put that down and join us for breakfast.

It's okay.

I'll leave this here.

You would feel uncomfortable
if you were to eat here.

I'll bring you some food later.

You don't have to.

I still have some left. Don't mind me.

He must be hungry.

Hang on.

Should I bring him some bulgogi
before it gets cold?

You should finish your meal.
I'll bring it to him.

I'm done.

Will you do that for me?

Sure.

How is it so perfectly seasoned and tasty?

Don't just stand there. Come in.

How can I do that?
People will find it weird if they see us.

Dad.

I'll quit working here.

You can stay.

I came to say that.

Really?

Honey.

Dan-dan made a difficult decision.

You're a great worker,

so you'll find a job
much better than this.

No, Dan-dan.

I said I would quit.

I was going to resign
when the time was right.

So don't worry and stay.

Dad.

I said I'll quit.

Just do as I say.

Se-jong seems to like you a lot.

If you quit
just when he's getting attached,

he'll be so disappointed.

Can't we do what we're doing now
and pretend you don't know each other?

All you have to do is
not get caught. Is it that hard?

That doesn't make any sense.

What would they think of us
if they found out?

They'd think we're frauds.

End of discussion.

Then let's think about it
for a couple of days.

Wait.

Are you shopping for your husband?

How about this? It just came in yesterday.

It looks nice.

I'll take this as well.

Okay.

Husband?

My gosh.

I think Guk-hee's great.

She's calm and kind. She never changes.

Young-kuk, why don't you ask her out?

Guk-hee can never replace me.

She's too narrow-minded. Never.

My gosh. It tastes so good.

Ki-ja, this kimchi is so tasty.

If it's not made properly,
Korean lettuce kimchi

can turn bitter.

This is seasoned perfectly.

It will taste just fine.

Will it? I'm glad it tastes good.

It's tasty because I put in
a lot of effort and care.

You know Korean lettuce kimchi

is twice harder to make
than other types of kimchi.

You have to soak the lettuce
in brine to remove the bitterness.

Yes, I know. Of course, I do.

Here. This is for you.

Okay. Thanks so much, Ki-ja.

You're leaving?

We should have some of
the kimchi with rice.

I forgot that I have to go somewhere.

Thank you. I'll enjoy the kimchi.

But…

I really hate her guts.

I made her kimchi which took
a lot of time and effort.

Then she should at least help me clean up.

Just because
she doesn't charge me much rent,

she takes me for a sl*ve.

Darn her.

It's my fault for not having much money.

Hang on.

Didn't she say the chairman's mother
likes Korean lettuce kimchi?

Yes.

I should do something for Sa-ra's sake.

I shouldn't waste time.

That's just the thing.

Goodness.

My gosh.

Darn it.

My gosh. What's all this?

It's pickled garlic

and Korean lettuce kimchi
that I made myself.

Goodness. We're having
a Korean lettuce kimchi feast today.

Korean lettuce kimchi feast?

Ms. Jang brought some over
for Ms. Wang to enjoy.

-Which Ms. Jang?
-Gosh, you're hilarious.

Who might this be?

She's Ms. Jo's mother.

Hello, my introduction is long overdue.

She brought over
some Korean lettuce kimchi for you.

My gosh. Ms. Jang brought some for me too.

Ki-ja, I already brought
some over, you know.

You didn't have to
go through all this trouble.

That's right.
You mentioned that you are friends.

Anyway, I'm grateful. I'll enjoy it.

Ms. Yeoju, it's not every day
that she comes by,

so offer her some tea
so that she can wait for Ms. Jo.

Yes, Ms. Wang.

Ms. Jang, please come by often.

Maybe Professor Jang
can accompany you next time.

Hold on. What if we all go somewhere
nice for a meal with Young-kuk?

A meal?

Why don't I set something up for us?

You should head back inside then.

I won't walk you out,
but please get home safely.

Sure.

Then…

-Take care.
-You too.

Ki-ja,

I'll get going.

I can't believe I ran into her here!

You, Jang Mi-sook!

Don't move.

Are you leaving already?

I thought you were here to see Sa-ra.

-Get in then. I'll drive you.
-You.

Did you butter me up
so that I'd make kimchi

just so you could bring it here?

What?

So what if I did?

How could you do this to me?

How could you bring the kimchi here
when I worked my butt off to make it?

You gave it to me,
so I can do whatever I want with it.

There's no need to get so worked up.

I did it for Guk-hee.

I need to lay a bridge
between her and Young-kuk.

-Exactly!
-My gosh.

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

-Goodness.
-Had I known,

I wouldn't have made it.

Never!

Ki-ja, what's with you today?

What's with me?

Do you really not know?

Don't you know why I'm being this way?

Sa-ra is finally getting close to
being in a relationship with Young-kuk,

so why are you butting in?

Why are you ruining my daughter's future?

My gosh. Are you saying

that Sa-ra likes Young-kuk?
Is that why you're being this way?

Yes.

So please, stop Guk-hee

from getting in their way.

-Got it?
-Ki-ja!

When have you ever mentioned
Sa-ra's feelings for him?

All this time,
I've been telling you my intentions.

You know how hard I've been trying to
get Guk-hee to date Young-kuk.

But you were trying to
get your daughter to

date Young-kuk behind my back?

You sure are scary.

How can you stab me in the back like this?

I don't think I can stand seeing you
on a daily basis anymore.

Unbelievable!

What did she just say?

Wait. Is that her way of telling me
to move out?

What the…

Fine. I'll move out.

It's not like
I don't have anywhere else to go.

Darn it.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

Sa-ra…

Mom, what's wrong?

Sa-ra!

Goodness, Sa-ra…

What's the matter?

My goodness. Sa-ra!

Sa-ra and Young-kuk?

I had my suspicions, but…

You know how a hunch
can turn out to be true.

Talk about a massive betrayal.

I've been telling her everything
about my life from start to finish,

but she has been keeping not only half

but at least 70 percent of her life
from me.

One can only wonder
what else she's been cooking up.

How conniving of her.

Did Ki-ja really say

that Sa-ra and Young-kuk

were close to being in a relationship?

That's exactly what she said.

So what are you going to do now?

If Sa-ra manages to get Young-kuk,

will you run away and leave the country?

You only live once.

However it turns out,
put an end this time.

If not, give up on him.

-Mom!
-Se-jong!

Ms. Park!

Ms. Park.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Mr. Park?

Gosh.

Mr. Park, are you quitting?
Why on earth would you do that?

I apologize, Ms. Wang.

I'm afraid it's due to personal reasons.

Personal reasons?

What reasons? Just tell me.

Well…

How can you quit
when it hasn't even been a month?

What's wrong? Is the salary not enough?

I'll have Chairman Lee give you a raise.

Just stay with us.

No, that's not it.

I'm truly sorry.

Unbelievable.

What else can I say
when you won't even accept a pay raise?

All right. I'll notify the chairman.

I'm truly sorry about this.

He didn't tell you why he was quitting?

No.

He just said it was due
to personal reasons.

I guess I was wrong about him.

All right.

We need to find his replacement,
so ask him to stay on board until we do.

Yes, sir.

What is it? Are you not done?

What should we do for the memorial rite

on your late wife's
second death anniversary?

She requested that we keep it simple

with some tea and snacks after two years.

Just do

what we did last year.

Yes, of course.

Dad, we agreed to
think about it for a few days.

What's there to think about? It's better
to sort things out as soon as possible.

Dan-dan, you don't have to worry about me.

How can I not? You have nowhere to go.

I told you not to worry.

Of course, I have a place to go.

I can't stand

seeing you move
from one couch to the next.

Just know
that my resignation was accepted.

All right.

Until you find a job,

I'll help with your living expenses.

I'm sorry, Dad.

You and your nonsense again.

Things aren't that tight for me.

And I agreed to stay
until they find my replacement,

so I have some time
to find a place to stay.

There's no need to worry.

Let's be careful until I move out.

And work hard.

Be good to the kids
so that Chairman Lee learns to trust you.

Okay.

Head back inside before someone sees you.

Jae-ni!

Lee Jae-ni!

Dad, I need to head inside.
We'll talk later.

Sure.

Taking care of kids isn't an easy job.

Why are you barging into my room?

Who said you could come in?

What do you think you're doing?

Jae-ni,

what's with this bruise?

Tell me what happened.

It's none of your business.
Get out of my room!

Tell me who did this to you!

Tell me right now.

If you don't tell me right away,

I'll have no choice
but to notify the chairman.

No, don't.

Then tell me.

Why are you doing this to me?

Hey.

Are you the brats
who's been bullying Jae-ni?

All of you. Get over here.

Who are you to order us around?

Me?

I'm Jae-ni's sister.

Jae-ni, you're so annoying.

This will only raise the fee you must pay.

The fee?

Give back the money you took
from her while I'm being nice.

Also, make an official apology,

and I'll let this slide.

What a joke.

Who are you to let this slide?

Do you have a death wish?

Hey!

Let go of me!

Sure. Will do.

Hey! Are you crazy?

Hey!

Guys, hurry!

Hey!

-Darn it.
-Darn it.

Take that!

If you guys

ever bully Jae-ni again,
it'll be so much worse than this.

Apologize to her this instant.

Don't you want to go home?

-Sorry, Jae-ni. We won't do it again.
-Sorry, Jae-ni. We won't do it again.

Don't forget

that I always have

Jae-ni's back.

Jae-ni, let's go.

You only live once.

However it turns out,
put an end this time.

If not, give up on him.

Hey, Mr. Ko.

Young-kuk's where?

-Hey.
-Guk-hee, I'm sorry.

I have to be at my in-laws'.

Could you watch out for him?

Sure.

The anniversary of Young-ae's death
pulled him back to his old habits.

I got it. I'll take care of him,
so don't worry.

I'm worried, you know.

It's about time he got his act together
at least for his children's sake.

I'll get going then.
Look after him for me.

Sure. Get going.

If you're okay with it,

I'd like to be by your side.

What are you talking about?

Guk-hee.

We're friends.

Do you not have

any feelings for me at all?

To me, you're

a good friend.

You always have been,

you still are,

and you will continue to be.

I see.

I get it.

Let's just drink. Okay?

PORK BELLY, BEEF ENTRAILS

Ms. Wang gave me

the cold shoulder
when I carried that heavy kimchi

all the way to her house.

And my friend looks down on me
because I'm a penniless widow.

Don't ever let

Guk-hee have Chairman Lee.

Ever!

Excuse me.
One more bottle of soju, please.

Okay.

Coming right up.

By the way, why are you drinking so much?

Have you ever had

a crush on someone?

What? Why would I?

It's just petty.

I couldn't care less about such a thing.

Gosh.

You're right.

It's just petty.

Why would I do such a thing?

Don't get out.

You didn't have to.

Guk-hee.

Thank you for today.

You are

a really good friend.

Hey.

Do you know
how many times you said that tonight?

Go home.

Okay.

I'll see you again, friend.

Guk-hee.

Sa-ra, it's you.

You really are

unbelievable.

What? What do you mean?

I told you not to call out
Chairman Lee late at night.

I even went to your office
to ask you that.

Am I a joke to you?

I can't believe this.

Hey.

Do you think I'm a pushover?

I clearly told you
that you were going overboard.

How dare you spy on me and block my way.

Right.

I get it.

I heard you have a crush on Young-kuk.

Is that what this is about?
Because you like him?

Yes, Guk-hee.

I have feelings for Chairman Lee.

So Guk-hee,

don't come between me and Chairman Lee.

Don't go out to drink with him

late at night like this.

Don't let it happen again.

Hey, Jo Sa-ra.

Pull yourself together.

Young-kuk

is not interested in any woman.

He still hasn't gotten over
losing Young-ae.

Do you think you can make him like you?

Gosh.

So stop dreaming and get real.

Understand?

I didn't ask you to worry about me.

Don't use your friendship as an excuse
to get close to Chairman Lee.

How dare you grab me?

How dare you? Get off me!

Let go of me!

You brat!

-Let go!
-Hey, stop it!

-You brat!
-Hey!

What are they doing? Stop it!

-Hey!
-Why are you stopping me?

I can't believe this.

I've never had
my hair pulled out like that before.

My goodness. This is ridiculous.

How dare she?

But Guk-hee, you are the most unharmed.

Why are you crying?

This is nothing to cry about.

Mi-sook.

You know what?

I'm done

with Young-kuk.

What?

What do you mean?

As you said,

I met Young-kuk.

-And I told him how I felt about him.
-What?

But…

He said no?

Yes.

He said…

Young-kuk said

I'm just a good friend.

Mi-sook.

My goodness.

He doesn't even know how lucky he is.

What a fool. A cold-hearted fool.

He even has three children.

Forget about him!

I know. He's such a fool, right?

So you should forget

all about that fool, okay?

Don't waste your time on him. okay?

Okay. I won't.

Stop it.

Why are you crying?

-Mi-sook.
-My goodness.

I told you to stop crying.

Don't cry. It's okay.

I'm so upset.

-It's all right.
-I'm so sad.

Guk-hee, don't cry.

Is that true?

I just heard it myself.

I guess Chairman Lee Young-kuk
turned Guk-hee down.

Isn't that a good thing?

Why? Aren't you happy?

Mom.

Guk-hee isn't the problem.

Chairman Lee

is still not over his late wife.

But she's already dead.

The dead can never beat the living.

Yes!

You win! Okay?

You're right.

Young-kuk.

When I die,

miss me

for just one year.

Then forget all about me.

Then live

a life full of energy
and happiness like you used to.

And meet someone new.

-Young-ae.
-That way,

I'll be able to rest in peace.

Promise me.

I promise.

Young-ae.

Honey.

Jae-ni,

Se-chan,

and Se-jong's mom.

Goodbye.

Don't worry about us.

Mr. Park, get the car. I'll be late.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you going somewhere, Ms. Wang?

I was invited to a fashion show,
so I should go.

Please take care of things around here
and hire some help if you need to, okay?

I will.

Ms. Park, you should give
Ms. Yeoju a hand today.

Okay.

See you later.

It's just not fair.

How can she take Mr. Park
on such a busy day?

What day is it?

It's the second death anniversary
of the chairman's late wife.

Death anniversary?

We'll have to hold her memorial
service when we're not even her family.

Darn it.

The late madam would be
39 if she were still alive.

She died so young. She was only 37.

It must've been hard on the kids,

but also on the chairman.

You bet it was.

They were a devoted couple
who fell in love at first sight.

I see.

The day he started work
after his military service,

he fell in love at first sight
with his wife, who was a new hire.

That's so romantic.

Her mother died at an early age
and she was practically an orphan.

Ms. Wang approved only
because he wasn't her real son.

It would've been impossible otherwise.

She was good friends
with Ms. Jo who works here.

Ms. Yeoju!

Why would you tell her that?

There are things you should
and shouldn't say!

What's the problem with telling her?

Ms. Park is now a member of the family.

Shouldn't she know this much
to be able to care for the kids better?

Also, am I a child?

Why are you always nagging?

I've got to do something
or else I'm going to explode.

I really hate her.

Goodness!

What happened?
Where are all my mom's things?

Ms. Yeoju!

What is it, Jae-ni?

Ms. Yeoju. Who put away my mom's photos?

I did put them away, but…

Why would you put them away?
What gives you the right?

I didn't do it because I wanted to.

Your dad…

The chairman told me to.

What? Is that true?

Lee Jae-ni.

What's this about?

Don't raise your voice at Ms. Yeoju.

Did you tell her to
put away Mom's photos? Did you?

Yes. It's been two years
since she passed away.

-We need to let her rest--
-How could you do this?

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

It's only been two years now.

Are you seeing someone? Is that why?

Lee Jae-ni.

How dare you say that?

My mom isn't dead. She's not dead!

My gosh, Jae-ni. Don't do this
on the anniversary of her death.

You'll scare her off
before she enjoys the service.

I will never forgive you.

My goodness.

Dad. What have you done?

You went too far!

Mom…

I hate you, Dad!

I hate you, Dad.

My gosh.

Why is this happening on
the anniversary of her death?

My goodness.

Mom.

I feel so sorry for them.

The kids want to feel
their mother's presence.

This won't do.
I should marry him off soon.

It takes someone new to forget someone.

Won't they feel better
if they have a stepmom?

They might if their stepmom
is a nice person.

But will the chairman
be able to get over her?

Why can't he? Everyone does.

Why cling to a dead person
when life is so great?

Ms. Wang, would you like some green tea?

Yes. The jeon I've been snacking on
is too greasy.

I can't live without you, Ms. Jo.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

Goodness.

What's this?

Ms. Yeoju, this needs more salt.
It's too bland.

The food must be seasoned properly.

You can't just mix the ingredients
together however you want.

I feel much better. Much better.

-Drink it slowly.
-Okay.

Is there any jeon?

I want yukjeon.

What got into you?

You ask for too much.

The chairman is still young.

I wonder who will become his next wife.

I'm so jealous.

He's rich and very competent.

He could marry a virgin.

As if he could.

He has three kids.

So what? He's rich.

So what if he's rich?

If it were you,

would you let your girl
marry a single dad of three?

Don't say that to anyone.
You'll get chewed out.

Mom, I'm home. What is it?

Why are you so late?

Why is the house so quiet?

It's like someone died. What's wrong?

My gosh. Don't even ask.

Jae-ni threw a fit
because her mom's things were gone.

Young-kuk got rid of her photos
around the house?

Yes, I didn't know,
but he had them put away.

It's been two years, so it's about time.

Then Jae-ni yelled at him
for throwing them out

and accused him of dating someone new.

You should've seen how scary she was.

-Jae-ni said that?
-Yes.

I honestly don't think
I can take the ruckus anymore.

Are you thinking about moving out?

Are you crazy?
I wouldn't dare to move out.

Not until you get married
and get your shares of the company.

By the way, when will you introduce me
to the Miso Steel guy?

I'm dying to meet him.

Be patient, Mom.

Rushing things will jinx it.

You cunning girl.
I hear you loud and clear.

Jae-ni is gone. I can't find her anywhere.

Wait. What on earth is she saying?

What do you mean Jae-ni is gone?

I was with Se-jong,
trying to calm him down.

She's not on the second floor.

Did no one see Jae-ni leave the house?

I was with Ms. Yeoju in the kitchen
preparing the food.

She left her phone on her desk.

What?

I'll look for her outside.

I'll look for her outside as well,
so call me if she comes back.

What on earth is going on?

Jae-ni.

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni?

Jae-ni!

Lee Jae-ni.

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni?

Lee Jae-ni!

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni?

Ms. Park, you haven't found her, right?

Where did you look?

The coin karaoke, the Internet cafe,
shopping center,

and street food diner at the intersection
downtown, but I couldn't find her.

Where could she be?

Mr. Lee, do you know
her friends' phone numbers?

No.

I don't know.

Not even one of them?

Where does she like to spend time?

I have

no clue.

Then what do you know about her?

Do you even care about her?
Can you even call yourself her father?

Chairman Lee,

kids have emotions too,
and they can get heartbroken.

You're an adult,

but they are kids
who have lost their mother.

So how can you not consider them?

Do they exist so that you can get reports?
Is that all you need to do as a dad?

Do you have any idea
how rough it is for them?

Se-jong cries every night
because he misses his mom.

And what about Jae-ni?

Did you know
she has bruises all over her body?

Bruises?

What do you mean by that?

Ms. Park, tell me right away.

Well…

I can't tell you.

I promised Jae-ni that I wouldn't.

I feel so bad for the children, and…

Ms. Park,

tell me right now!

It's just that Jae-ni…

Jae-ni!

Jae-ni?

Lee Jae-ni.

Jae-ni, stop right there.

-Jae-ni!
-We need to talk.

-Jae-ni.
-I hate you. Let me go.

What…

What on earth?

Explain this.

Who did this to you?

Tell me!

Dad.

Kids have been bullying me.

I have been bullied.

I'd come home with dirt on my skirt
and with rips and tears all over,

but no one noticed it.

Only…

Only Ms. Park noticed
and saved me from them.

Then,

why didn't you tell me?

Dad…

I'm sorry.

I should've known

what you were going through

and noticed how hard things were for you.

Jae-ni,

I was hoping

to let your mother

rest in peace and not worry about us.

That's why I put her things away.

I'm sorry

for not telling you sooner.

Dad…

My gosh.

Jae-ni, Se-chan, Se-jong,

bow and tell your mom

that she should not worry about us

and rest in peace.

Mom…

Then what do you know about her?

Do you even care about her?
Can you even call yourself her father?

Do they exist so that you can get reports?
Is that all you need to do as a dad?

Park Dan-dan, what have you done?

You're really out of your mind.

Who are you to tell him off like that?

I'm so screwed.

What now?

Seriously.

Ms. Park.

I'd like a word with you.

With me?

Dad always does whatever he wants.
He never listens to me. It's so tiring.

-You're a narrow-minded dictator!
-What?

Ms. Park, what are you

-doing here with Se-jong?
-I hate you, Dad!

Ms. Park, I need your help.

My help? In what way?

Being young and all, you seem
quite slow on picking things up

but report to me as well
on everything regarding the children.

-Honey.
-This isn't your house.

-You can't come and go as you please.
-You smell instant noodles too, right?

I'm not sure.

Is someone in there?

My apartment, Room 101,
was put up for lease?

Where in Seoul will you move to
without any money?

Stop being so conceited
just because you have some money.

You evil brat.

-Hi, how have you been?
-Sa-ra.

Sa-ra, open the door.

Se-jong was adopted?

Ms. Yeoju, are you out of your mind?
