01x25 - Soo Jae’s Repentance

[bunniefuu]

You're a good person.

One who shouldn't be with a piece of trash like me.

What are you saying?

Let's...

break up.

What?

I don't want you to get tangled up in my mess.

I have a debt to pay off...

and must work hard to win back my family's trust.

You shouldn't be a part of that process.

You deserve to be happy.

I can't watch you stew over my problems.

How can I be happy when I'm not with you?

Your mother won't ever forgive me, will she?

Is that why?

It's not like that.

I don't want to break up with you.

We started the whole thing together,

so I want us to get over it together.

[It's Beautiful Now]

[Episode 25]

Hello, Mr. Hyun.

Are you crying?

No.

I'm calling you to tell you something.

Ji Chul is off tomorrow.

I'll be sitting in for him.

Okay.

Yu Na, where are you right now?

I'm home. Why?

I just asked. I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

I'm sure she was crying.

When we first met,

Mi Rae told me she had a special bond with her mom.

- She did?
- Yes. So I wanted to meet with you.

Well...

Did you see Mi Rae in a romantic way since the first time you met her?

I'm not sure.

Honestly, I don't like to be romantically involved with a client.

Even if I had feelings for her, I would probably have tried...

to keep my distance.

I guess you are good at controlling your feelings.

I try to be good.

You sound like an interviewer now, Mom.

Did I seem cold to you?

No, not really.

I must say I do find this uncomfortable.

How you speak your mind...

suggests otherwise.

Well, I am feeling nervous though.

I wanted to meet you.

I wondered what Mi Rae's boyfriend was like.

I thought she fell for you too fast,

so I wanted her to slow things down.

I believe you two are still getting to know each other.

Yes.

Ma'am, how would you like to have dinner?

Well, I guess we should probably have some tea.

I don't want you to feel pressure.

Okay.

It was nice meeting you.

Thank you for your time.

What's your plan now? I'm going home.

You should take her home.

How about we have dinner together?

Don't you have time?

It's not like that.

Then I'll go home after having dinner with Hyun Jae.

Okay.

What did you think of Mi Rae's boyfriend?

Well... I wasn't impressed.

Where's Mi Rae?

She didn't even care about me when I was right there.

She only cared about her boyfriend.

She'll have dinner with him.

Do you not like him?

Whether I like him or not doesn't matter.

And it's not like they are getting married soon.

She can date whomever she wants.

She doesn't like me.

Why would she not like you?

Any mother would want to have you as her son-in-law.

I don't think so.

It's just that my mom is shy of strangers.

I don't know. She didn't seem that shy.

It's not about you. It's about me.

Mom doesn't want me to date anyone now.

She wants me to focus on my work.

I understand she feels that way.

She would want her daughter to lead a happy life.

- Let's eat.
- Okay.

I'm home.

- Mom, where are you?
- I'm here.

Mom, what was that earlier today?

What did I do?

Obviously, you didn't like him.

I didn't say anything like that.

The nuance of your words and your attitude said otherwise.

Even Hyun Jae could feel it.

You're making a fuss over nothing.

Was I supposed to say I liked him when we first met?

It was our first meeting.

We need some time to get to know each other.

I wanted to share the guy I liked with you.

That's why I introduced him to you.

What's the matter with you two?

My goodness. I have no idea.

She just started throwing a fit as soon as she came home.

Do you care only about your boyfriend?

I didn't say that.

But you could've at least shown that you looked favourably on him.

Wait, Mi Rae...

My goodness.

Oh, dear.

Why does Soo Jung not like Mi Rae's boyfriend?

It's not that she doesn't like him.

She's just worried...

that Mi Rae is dating someone right after the lawsuit.

Now that you mention it,

her boyfriend's family wouldn't like Mi Rae.

She should've stopped Mi Rae from dating Jun Hyung.

Back then, she just believed everything Mi Rae said.

She even let her register her marriage before the wedding.

That's because we were acquainted with Jun Hyung's family.

They were the VVIP clients for years.

And they were known to be respectable.

They cared for Mi Rae a lot.

But their son was a grumpy bum.

It's not like Mi Rae wants to get married right away.

What's all the fuss about?

If you try to separate them, they will want each other even more.

And Mi Rae will end up heartbroken as she was because of Jun Hyung.

It's a weekend,

but he can't even come because of his younger brother.

- Grandpa.
- Yes?

Let me give you another drink.

Sounds nice.

Things have been horrible at home for the past few days.

I'm just glad that you brought me out here.

What? Hang on.

Hey, Hae Jun.

What are you doing?

I'm eating out with my grandpa.

Oh, I see. I should hang up then.

- No, it's okay. You can talk to me.
- It's nothing.

Enjoy your meal with your grandpa then.

Okay. I'll call you back later.

- Was that your girlfriend?
- Yes.

I haven't seen her for days. I miss her.

Why did you tell her that you were with me?

She will hate me.

She'd think she couldn't see you because of me.

That's not true.

She's a very generous and positive person.

I wonder what she's like.

Do you want to meet her?

I'd love to. But next time.

I'm feeling uneasy now because of Soo Jae.

Then you should meet her so you can forget about him.

Thank you for taking such good care of me.

I should because you raised me.

I know you carried me on your back...

even more than my parents did.

Hey, do you remember all that?

- Of course, I do.
- I see.

Grandpa, don't worry about Soo Jae.

Hyun Jae and I will meet him and talk some sense into him.

So you just need to meet my girlfriend and have fun with us.

That sounds lovely.

Don't tell Mom about it. I'll introduce her only to you.

Not even your dad?

You can tell Dad about it.

All right. Let's eat.

Mom, why do you hate your medicine so much?

But then, no one enjoys it.

Yes.

I'll see you tomorrow, Mom.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. To Ms. Sim's.

Why this late at night?

She asked to see me.

But you just came home.

See you later.

I can't stand it.

The door's open! Come in!

I'm empty-handed because I rushed over.

Good. Welcome.

Thank you for coming over when I called so late.

I love being able to drive.

I can go out whenever I want.

Sit down.

I was plating the tteokbokki.

I love tteokbokki.

There's lemonade too? All the stuff I like.

I'm not great at cooking,

but I know what to order.

Why haven't you called since our camping trip?

Didn't you want to know what happened afterwards?

I did but I didn't call because it was the weekend.

I assumed you'd be out on a date.

That's not what'll happen this weekend.

Are you busy?

You don't know Hyun Jae's family problem?

Didn't he tell you?

He didn't.

I introduced him to my mom today.

She met him?

She likes him, doesn't she?

Yes.

Even when he's stressed out, he doesn't let it show.

He's not like Dolt.

I want him to show it and discuss it with me.

I like Dolt...

because he's childish.

He's so disarming.

You're bragging now.

I thought I wouldn't feel lonely if I were in love.

I feel even lonelier.

I waited all day long for him to call me.

Then I called him.

I don't know if Dolt even thinks of me,

but he sounded calm.

I think I'm the only one anxious to see him, and it blows.

We should become even closer.

As women who like two men who share the same DNA.

We'll have so much to share.

- Dad.
- Why did you come downstairs?

To welcome you?

Thanks.

You don't know how reassuring it is knowing Soo Jae's with you.

I'm surprised but pleased he came to me.

It means he trusts me.

You are a trustworthy person.

I thought I was, but that wasn't always the case.

Then that person is a poor judge of character.

I don't want to break up with you.

We started the whole thing together,

so I want us to get over it together.

Soo Jae.

What are you doing?

Why are you in here?

I just find this place cozy.

What weird taste.

Dad's here. He wants to see you outside.

Did you have dinner?

Yes.

Good.

As long as you're eating.

How's Mom?

She's still angry.

You always consoled her when she got angry.

I don't know what to do.

It's easy.

Shower her with praise.

It's simple.

I need you to do that, then. I don't think I can manage.

How long will you stay here?

I don't know.

You said you'd sort out the mess you created.

You also said that was your duty towards those who believed you.

For you to be true to your word,

you must be able to...

come home and face the guilt you feel toward us.

Saying you'll sort it out while avoiding us...

doesn't make much sense.

- Welcome.
- You're still at work?

Hi. I'm almost done.

Can you be so late? What about the kids?

I left them with your mother.

Your grandma and dad are there, so I'm sure they'll be fine.

What if they run about and upset the people downstairs?

They're stressed out enough already.

I understand Soo Jae.

I'd have done the same.

You wouldn't say that if you knew the state he is in now.

They're family.

They're bound to forgive him.

You don't know how scary family is.

If you lose your family's trust,

it's hard to win it back.

Could you loan my mom money if she asked?

No. No way.

Never ever. Nope.

I knew this would happen.

- What?
- He fell for the temptation.

It's not Soo Jae's fault.

It is his fault. Whose could it be?

It was wrong to even offer the apartment.

Kyung Ae was a housewife her whole life,

so she doesn't know the human psyche.

My goodness.

Are you an expert on the human psyche...

which is why all your businesses failed?

Mother. They failed...

because of this man here.

You're an expert at framing others.

Because I know the human psyche.

Hye Young.

Stay away from Kyung Ae for a while.

You'll just upset her.

Mother. I'm great at upsetting people,

but also at consoling them.

That's why Kyung Ae likes me.

Kids! Will you stop running about?

You got me.

You're it!

They're being so noisy, and I have a lot on my mind.

I'm home.

- Come in.
- Thanks.

- You're back, Father?
- Yes.

Where's Min h*?

He's out, but I don't know where.

Did you have a drink?

Yes. It was Yoon Jae's treat.

Well done.

- Hey.
- Dad's home.

- I'm home.
- Hi, Dad.

Where were you at?

I went to see Soo Jae.

Why did you go on your own?

You should've gone with me.

I thought you wouldn't want to go.

How do you know what I think?

It looks like you all went out leaving me at home.

My goodness.

Why are you upset?

Why wouldn't I be?

You know how upset I am, and you went to see Soo Jae alone?

I bet you acted the good dad.

And made me look bad.

You and Soo Jae both need time apart.

I don't.

He's my son. Would I k*ll him? What could I do?

He feels different.

He liked you the most.

He'll feel the worst with you.

It looked like he felt the worst for Yu Na.

He won't even let us mention her.

I should talk to her too.

What for?

She's a victim too.

They were originally friends.

She lives alone and needed money for expenses and baking classes.

She was struggling,

and that's why she fell for Soo Jae's con.

You're wrong. She was going to take the money to study abroad.

That's how crafty she is.

Don't see her...

if all you'll say is sorry.

You can forgive Soo Jae because he's your son,

but not Yu Na because she's someone else's daughter?

How on earth can they be the same?

I'm not as fair as you, you know.

My children are my priority and their happiness comes first.

At times like this, I must keep my head on straight.

I can't let this bring me down.

Forget it.

Just leave, please.

I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now.

How could you two do this?

Why did you do such a thing?

Why did I do that?

Soo Jae...

Soo Jae!

It's always nice to start the day with our walks.

Same here.

You and Kyung Ae seem to be arguing a lot these days.

Gosh, we're hardly arguing.

Let her have the last word.

That's how it has always been.

But shouldn't I get to say my piece too?

For some reason, she has gotten more aggressive with age.

When will Soo Jae come back home?

I gave him the talk, so I'm sure he'll be back soon.

I, for one, am more worried about Yu Na.

Why on earth did she go through with this?

We were all greatly fond of her.

I don't think it should end this way...

which is why I'm going to meet Yu Na.

Yoon Jae's going to introduce me to his girlfriend.

It's to take my mind off Soo Jae's issue.

He's better than me when it comes to you.

Dad, I bet you adore Yoon Jae more than you adore me.

As if that can ever be the case.

You'll always be my number one.

Soo Jae!

Unbelievable.

Come on. Get up, will you?

How you can sleep is beyond me.

That was fast.

I'm not able to sleep deeply these days.

Well, eat.

You're being nice to me.

You're nice to people you pity.

It's the motto I live by.

Even when I shade someone, I do so after feeding them.

That's scarier.

Don't be too nervous though. I wouldn't k*ll you.

Come on.

[Director Lee Yoon Jae]

Grandpa and Hae Jun.

[Law Firm Haejun]

- Good morning, everyone.
- Good morning.

Has Hyun Jae come to work?

No, not yet.

Then...

- Good morning, everyone.
- There he is.

Hi.

My office, please.

Is she mad?

What is it? Is something up?

That can be said for your family.

Have things been solved?

Why are you interested in my family's business?

Hey...

[Dolt]

We're good now. You can go.

- Who's calling?
- It's none of your business.

Why ask when you never give me a straight answer either?

Tell Yoon Jae to call me later.

How did he know?

Nothing gets past him, does it?

Hey.

It took you a while to answer.

Hyun Jae wants you to call him too.

- Was he next to you?
- He just left.

Did you have a good time with your grandpa?

Yes.

I'd like to introduce you to him if that's okay with you.

Does your grandpa wish to see me?

I'm all for it.

I'll set it up on my free day, then.

Does it mean we can't see each other until then?

Of course, we should see each other.

Why don't I come to you today? We'll have dinner together.

To the law firm? But Sung Soo's also here.

Our family knows we're dating now.

Didn't you ask Sung Soo for his silence?

I did.

Yes, Dad.

Can you get me Yu Na's contact number?

Would Soo Jae tell me?

I doubt it.

Why don't you ask Mom?

She won't even let me mention her.

I think Yoon Jae met her once.

I'll ask.

Yoon Jae met her?

- Please enjoy.
- Thank you.

Yu Na.

Have your lunch after the last customer leaves.

Sure.

Did I come in too early?

No, I'm finished.

Here.

What's this?

Check it out with your boyfriend.

You'll be able to enjoy tea and delicious desserts.

Tasting them is part of the learning process.

That's why I'm giving these to you.

Kyung Ae, Hye Young's here.

Kyung Ae, were you asleep?

You probably know what's going on. Do you think I'd be able to sleep?

Of course not.

That's why we should get out of here.

At times like this, you shouldn't be cooped up inside.

I can't be bothered.

I'm pretty sure that Min h*'s been taking better care of you.

As if. That's hardly the case.

Why do people believe that he's so good to me?

Okay, let's go out.

Where should we go though?

A place I go to when I'm stressed out.

You can look forward to it. Let's go.

- Come on.
- What?

- Let me at least change first.
- Sure.

Kyung Ae, this is the place.

Why on earth are we here? We're not kids, you know.

You'll be thanking me after a few games.

Do you know how to play this?

Here.

All right.

- My gosh.
- Like this.

This. There we go.

Who do you want to punch the most?

I imagine this is Man Ri, you know.

Choi Man Ri, you.

Gosh.

This is hilarious.

Kyung Ae, it's your turn.

Okay, good. Then...

- There.
- Lee Min h*.

You, Lee Min h*.

- What?
- Lee Min h*.

Lee Min h*.

Min h*, not Soo Jae?

The mediator gets on your nerves more.

You, Lee Min h*.

Take that.

You!

- Take that.
- This is hilarious.

I feel much better.

Right? Aren't you glad you listened to me?

You did.

Now we're off to the next activity.

The next activity?

Yes, the next activity.

There's more?

Of course. We should go for a drink.

Only then will the stress go away.

Drinking in the middle of the day?

- Come on. Let's go.
- Unbelievable.

Cheers.

If you drink during the day,

you'll get to party early and call it a day.

You have a way with words, don't you?

What kind of trouble did you have in life...

that needed a stress-reliever of this kind?

There's only one thing that troubles me.

Being broke.

None of us are rich, you know.

We just make do with what we have.

Try being stabbed in the back by your own kids.

That's the case for every parent, you know.

You've actually had a peaceful life up until now.

Just be grateful that...

Soo Jae didn't go deeper down the rabbit hole.

It's still an option, you know.

He hasn't come home yet.

Talking about him...

makes me want to see him.

Kyung Ae...

For the first time in my life,

I was mean to Soo Jae.

I threw the ramyeon he was eating down the drain.

Even dogs get to finish their meals, right?

I still feel bad about it.

That's how it is with kids.

When they do something wrong,

we feel like it's our fault.

I never expected you to say something like that.

Although, that's not how I am.

I just said what came to mind to make you feel better.

This won't do.

I have to see Soo Jae.

Why are you here?

I can't believe you only called your dad...

and not me.

Hyun Jae must be treating you well.

It shows on your face.

All this after crushing my heart?

I'm sorry.

When will you come home?

Why are you staying at Hyun Jae's when you have your own room?

[Business Partner]

I need to take this.

Hey.

What are you up to?

Why are you saying that like nothing happened?

Because nothing did.

Are you going to pick me up later?

I can't act as if nothing happened between us.

All right.

I'll come by your workplace around the time you get off.

Was that Yu Na?

I'll head back inside.

You can't be with Yu Na.

You shouldn't be together.

What good would come out of this relationship...

when it all started with a conspiracy to commit fraud?

Yu Na's a good person.

She's still trying hard to look after me.

Why would she do that when you have your parents...

and a family who truly cares for you?

If she cared, she should've stopped this in the first place.

It's all my fault. Your son is the menace here.

Did he just yell at me after everything he did?

Why on earth did I even come here?

Hey!

Look who it is.

Are you getting off work?

Didn't Hae Jun tell you to call me?

She did.

Then why didn't you?

Well, I forgot.

I'm here now, so what's it about?

Dad asked for Yu Na's contact information.

That I don't know,

but I saw her at her workplace the other day.

We can inform him of that, then.

So...

How's Soo Jae doing?

Shouldn't we talk about this too?

We can't just let him be.

I think it's too early to interfere.

Our parents will be mad at us if he moves out because of us.

Is he even aware of the trouble he caused?

By the looks of it, he seems absolutely clueless.

Probably only on the outside. I'm sure the guilt is eating him up.

I think he feels even worse because Yu Na's involved.

He must really like her.

Think back to how he was.

If that were him acting,

he should've won an Oscar for his performance.

Gosh.

So, where are you off to?

Where else? You're not the only one with a girlfriend.

Unbelievable. Nice outfit.

It's been a while.

But we were together yesterday.

Is that so?

Then, why does it feel like it's been a while?

I ordered for you since this seemed like what you'd like.

- Thank you.
- Please enjoy.

I do.

Clothes, shoes, and purses.

My job requires me to see...

which items are compatible all day long.

So when I'm off the clock, I don't mind others choosing for me.

- Let's eat.
- Sure.

Is there some sort of trouble in your family?

Hae Jun told me when I met her yesterday.

My younger brother made a mess of things,

and he has been staying with me.

Gosh, you should hurry home, then.

It's fine.

I usually go home early anyway.

As you know, I'm a homebody.

I find that unexpected.

Isn't living alone a lot of hard work?

Not really.

People visiting annoys me more.

I caught a cold right after my big brother's extended stay.

Right, you did.

[CEO Sim Hae Jun]

This is good. It's exactly how I like it.

I'm impressed...

since you used to force dishes on me that you prefer.

Just so you know, levelling up is what I do best.

Consider me as your RPG character.

When you're over 40?

That should be done alone.

I only lack in the dating department though.

Besides, it's not like you're a master at dating.

Me suggesting that you help me level up...

is my way of putting you on a pedestal.

Who knew you could do that?

This is growth I'm seeing.

I was surprised by your office, you know.

It looks incredible.

Are you the sole owner of this law firm?

Hyun Jae is a joint equity partner,

but I own most of it.

That's admirable.

Would you like a tour of the place?

Yes.

After we eat.

Sure.

This is Hyun Jae's office.

Gosh. His office is just as nice.

Check this out.

"Lawyer Lee Hyun Jae."

The firm grew bigger after Hyun Jae joined.

He takes on criminal cases too...

which meant more cases for the firm.

I have a hard time recognizing you...

in this place.

Were you always this smart?

How on earth have you been viewing me?

A klutz?

Would you like to check out our conference room?

You must have to earn a lot to keep the law firm afloat.

Is that the case?

Yes, I earn enough to keep it afloat.

That's admirable.

What do you mean?

As you know, I run a business myself.

And it isn't easy to...

keep the doors open while paying the employees.

My motto is to live a less-impressive long life,

so not earning much has never been an issue.

It's nice to know that you acknowledge that.

I missed you.

Why are you saying something that important now?

Isn't that best left for last?

Are you off work now?

Yes.

How long have you been waiting?

Not so long.

I got a gift certificate to a great dessert café.

For the afternoon tea set at Wookyung Hotel.

It must be expensive. Who gave it to you?

From my general manager. He told me to enjoy it with my boyfriend.

Eating some sweet desserts there will relieve all your stress.

Come with me.

Did you tell your boss about what happened to me?

- No.
- Then why would he give you that?

No reason. He just wants me to learn.

He also bought me some bread before.

Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing's free in this world. I'm not going.

You don't have to go if you don't want to.

I'm not going either.

Don't you hate me?

I just keep throwing tantrums when I'm in the wrong.

You're just going through a rough time.

Everything will be fine once we get through this.

[Dream-ville]

Go in.

You don't have to feel sorry for me.

I want to help you get back on your feet by your side.

Call me once you get yourself sorted.

I won't do anything until then.

I'll be waiting.

Yu Na's a good person.

She's still trying hard to look after me.

That lunatic.

Honey, who are you talking about?

Do you want something?

No. I'll drink it myself.

I met Soo Jae earlier today.

So you were talking about Soo Jae.

I just don't understand him.

Who would love and care for him the most?

It's his parents.

But how could he side with Yu Na instead?

I guess Yu Na means that much to Soo Jae.

It's not like that.

They just fell for each other while scheming things together.

I will meet Yu Na and tell her off.

Don't do that.

Just let them take care of things.

You stop being like this.

If you are going to hurt her feelings,

you shouldn't see her.

But I'm hurt too.

She already hurt me bad. Do you not care about me at all?

I'll take the car with me.

Look at you. Now I don't need to tell you what to do.

You know I just do as I'm told.

And I'm a fast learner.

You know what? You don't have to do that anymore.

I just said that because I wanted to see you more often.

I needed some excuses.

But now we can meet anytime.

But now I want to see you more often.

What does your grandpa like?

I will make a reservation.

All my family likes meat. They are meat lovers.

Dad.

Yes?

- You're taking your blood pressure.
- Yes. It's normal.

- Really?
- Yes.

Why did you want to see me?

I told you to let Kyung Ae get her own way.

- Did you hear that?
- I couldn't help it.

I heard her yell in the kitchen.

She shouldn't be so emotional about all this.

It will only make things worse.

So I tried to stop her, but she just got furious.

I'm home.

Hey, I'm here. Come on in.

- Grandpa. Dad, you're here.
- Hey.

- Come on in.
- Okay.

- Hey.
- Yes?

I heard you would introduce your girlfriend to Dad.

Did you tell him already?

Of course. I bragged about it.

Once we decide to get married,

I'll bring her home. You can see her then.

Will you get married?

You know I'm too old to look just for a fling.

We are dating with marriage in mind.

But why don't you want to tell your mom about her?

Mom is being sensitive because of Soo Jae.

I don't want to get on her nerves.

Soo Jae is Soo Jae, and you're just you.

The whole family doesn't have to be depressed because of Soo Jae.

He's right.

We're family, but we all have our own lives.

You don't have to be depressed because of him.

It's not like I'm depressed.

Anyway, I'll talk to Mom later.

Grandpa, you will understand what I say once you meet my girlfriend.

Gosh, that makes me even more curious.

I'll meet her first and tell you about her.

My gosh.

I'm meeting with Yoon Jae's grandfather.

So I was thinking...

I could get him a present.

Something he can wear casually.

How about a T-shirt?

The thing is, elders have their own tastes.

My grandma only wears what she likes.

You think?

How old is he?

What style of clothes does he like?

I have no idea.

Don't ask Hyun Jae about it.

Then he will find out that I'm preparing a gift.

I just want you to pick something good.

Bye.

Gosh, I'm really worried.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Did he arrive?

[Sim Hae Jun]

Why isn't he answering the phone?

If he got home, he should've told me so.

I wonder what he's doing.

I bet he's already asleep.

Are you coming back from work?

Yes.

Hyun Jae.

If I file a suit, should I pay you?

Of course, you should.

Only Mom, Dad, and Grandpa don't have to pay.

Will you file a suit?

It won't get me much profit.

The legal fees, stamp duties, transmittal fees,

and other expenses.

It also takes up my time.

How do you know all that?

I searched on the Internet.

This is why it's getting harder...

for lawyers like me to make ends meet.

- I'm jealous of you.
- What do you mean?

You're a lawyer.

Lawyers make a lot of money.

Gosh. Hey.

Don't believe everything you see on the Internet.

Why are you being so serious?

I'm not asking you for money.

I guess he's coming to his senses.

I should call Yoon Jae.

Ta-Da.

What brings you here so early in the morning?

I should come early to see you for longer.

I went to bed early last night.

- That's why you didn't answer.
- Right.

Hurry and get ready. Let's go have breakfast together.

- Ta-Da.
- Wow.

You improved so much.

What made you think of meeting me so early?

Aren't you tired?

When I told you to drive home last time,

you whined that you were tired.

That was before I liked you.

I'm so happy.

It's really strange.

Why am I pleased to hear you're happy?

Hi.

You just came in?

Yes.

Did you win the lottery this morning?

You're in a great mood.

Right? I just can't hide how I feel.

You can never do that.

Did something great happen?

Not really, but I'm still in a good mood.

I'm going to...

meet your grandfather.

My grandfather?

Yes, this weekend.

What type does he like?

The quiet type?

The cheerful type?

He'll like anyone Yoon Jae brings home.

You don't have to worry.

I knew it.

I came in to ask just that. See you.

Bye.

I just don't get dating couples.

How could Yoon Jae and Hae Jun like each other?

Mi Rae, I'm late. I'm so late.

You're not late yet.

You look way too pretty today.

- I do?
- Yes.

I went to a salon.

Do you think his grandfather will like me?

He will.

I was shocked at first...

when Dolt said he'd introduce me to his grandfather.

You would be.

That means you're serious about this.

That's right.

What should I do? My heart is racing.

Don't worry. How could he not like you?

Here.

This is a present.

Good luck.

Thanks.

You should go before you're late.

Okay. Thanks.

Take care.

Why do I feel so nervous?

Yoon Jae!

That's her.

Slow down.

I apologize. The traffic was terrible.

It's fine. We just arrived ourselves.

Why does she look so familiar?

You know Hyun Jae's law firm, right?

She's the CEO.

We saw her on TV too.

Oh, that. I remember.

Let's go. I put a lot of thought into where we should meet.

I hope you like it.

- Okay. Let's go inside.
- Let's head in.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

You can start.

So, how did you meet Hyun Jae?

Grandpa, it's Yoon Jae.

I mean Hyun Jae, not you.

I'd like to know how you met Hyun Jae.

He was my junior in university.

I worked on my own at the law firm,

but I had too much work,

so I hired him.

Then does the law firm he works at belong to you?

Is Hyun Jae your subordinate?

He helps me a lot to say he's my subordinate.

You can speak casually, sir.

Yes, Grandpa. Why are you being so polite?

I can't help it. She's a successful woman.

I may be successful, but to you,

I'm just Yoon Jae's girlfriend.

Right.

I like that.

Thank you. Can I pour you a drink?

I'd love that.

I like how bright and kind you are.

What's wrong with me?

Oh, dear.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Am I scary?

No.

Sit back down. Shall I pour you a drink?

Pardon? Oh, sure.

Accept but don't drink. You have to drive.

Goodness.

What's wrong with me today?

You're not afraid of me, are you?

No.

Okay, then.

You pour me one.

Thanks.

- Relax.
- Yes.

I'll leave you to have a good time.

No, let me take you home.

I'll take him home, then.

No. You said you were going to Hyun Jae's.

If I go home alone, it'll work out for everyone.

Not for me.

What?

Guess what?

What?

You're the first girlfriend Yoon Jae introduced to me.

Why would you say that?

She'll think she's so special.

She is.

Thank you.

Goodness.

We're home.

Goodness. Thanks.

This isn't much.

Wear this on your walks.

Why would you get me a present?

When did you get this?

I'll get going, then.

Okay.

You should go with her.

You two look lovely, standing side by side.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

See you, then.

Goodbye.

[Yu Na]

[Yu Na]

[Calling Yu Na]

[Soo Jae's mother]

Hello, Mother.

Yu Na.

Don't you think we should meet at least once?

Hello.

Hello. Sit.

How are you?

I had a lot of time to think.

I thought about you...

and of Soo Jae.

About when...

we checked out the apartment.

When we shopped for furniture.

When you tried on the wedding dress.

Yu Na.

I liked you a lot.

I'm sorry.

I saw myself in you.

My mother died when I was young,

so I got married and had children...

without any help.

It was wishful thinking,

but I wanted to protect you.

You were innocent and bright,

and I didn't want you to get hurt.

You know,

my head...

tries to make sense of it.

And I think maybe I can.

But my heart won't let me.

I'm sorry.

If you stay with Soo Jae,

we'll have to bump into each other.

And I don't think I can do that.

I'd rather...

not see you ever again.

- Gosh, what are all these?
- Let's take a look around.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Are you kidding me?

Can I help you?

Didn't you hear us come in?

I'm sorry, sir.

Are you looking for something specific?

- Let's go.
- Just a second.

No wonder the place has no customers.

- What's wrong?
- I'm sorry. Please take care.

Just a second. I'm the owner here.

Sir?

What is with you these days? Your head is in another place.

- I'm sorry, sir.
- Unbelievable.

Rather than apologizing, do a better job.

Come home early. Yoon Jae will join us.

It's time we talked.

You had to do all the driving today.

It's fine.

- Thanks.
- For what?

You were nice to my grandpa today.

That was hardly nice.

Say hello to Hyun Jae for me.

Got it. Get home safely, then.

Well, it's just around the corner.

I'm still worried though.

- Good night.
- Sure.

I like him a little more every single day!

How much is the loan you took out?

Why do you even want to know?

From what I can tell, it's less than 100,000 dollars.

Probably less than 50,000.

If it were more than that, you would've sued the friend.

He'd have to be crazy to take out 100,000 dollars.

No, wait. He is crazy.

That's why he plotted this whole thing.

It's hard to tell, so let's hear how much.

Why do you want to know when I'll be paying it back myself?

We won't know if you can or not...

until we hear how much it is.

If I tell you, are you going to help me out?

I wouldn't accept it anyway.

I'll handle it myself.

We're worried that it could lead to something bigger.

Where did you take out this loan?

You don't have enough credit to borrow money from anywhere.

What exactly are you trying to say?

We want you to admit that you did wrong...

and promise us it won't happen again.

You won't understand.

You don't understand my life.

I may seem pathetic to you,

but I've been doing my best.

None of that means anything...

if you're headed in the wrong direction.

My life isn't like yours.

The advice you give me means absolutely nothing.

If I were a doctor or a lawyer,

I wouldn't have done anything like this.

What does our profession have to do with this?

I envy you two.

If I were able to earn enough money doing what I love,

I wouldn't have gotten this idea.

You two have enough.

You could've let me have this.

Did you have to fight for the apartment unit?

- You punk.
- He hasn't learned his lesson.

I wish the best of luck to those who have it going for them.

- Hey.
- Where are you going?

Hyun Jae, shouldn't we stop him?

He's out of that phase and will be fine.

Who are they to judge my life?

I had a plan too, you know.

That is until I was duped.

[SOS Crisis Hotline]

[SOS Crisis Hotline]

Yes, this is the Crisis Hotline.

I'm sorry.

I needed someone to talk to...

but couldn't think of anyone else.

I'm all ears.

I left home after arguing with my older brothers.

It's true that I made a mess of things,

but I'm the one responsible for it.

That's right.

My life seems impossible.

I have a debt that I don't know how to pay back.

Considering everything I've done, it seems better to just die.

At least in death, it'll all be over.

I'll keep you company right now,

so let's start by erasing those thoughts.

Instead, think of those you love.

They are the reason...

I can't forgive myself.

Why did I do such a thing?

Anyway,

I'm grateful.

Thank you for listening to me.

[SOS Crisis Hotline]

[It's Beautiful Now]

Are you Lee Soo Jae's father?

Yes, this is he.

Being scammed out of money isn't a reason to do such a thing!

I wanted to die.

Many marriages end due to financial problems.

That won't apply to us though.

Even though he earns next to nothing,

he still won't stop snacking on fish cakes.

Could you be pressuring him financially...

just because he's the man of the house?

May I record all of this?

Try saying that to Ms. Sim. She'd love it.

Do you want to get married?

I may have failed to charm your mom,

but I'll win your grandmother over for sure.

I'd love to have a son just like you.

Did you tell him about her dementia?

- Yes.
- What if she says something?

- Your mother...
- Yes?

I remember you saying she's an only child.
