(Lovers in Bloom)

(Episode 108)

Forget about Mole, and get Cha Tae Jin fired.

I think that will be very helpful for both of us.

That's why I asked you to meet me.

Something interesting happened at Chamsu-ri Substation.

But to use that to get Cha Tae Jin fired,

I thought I would need your help.

How ill-fated.

The wife of Bong Yoon Jae, the man who died in that accident...

is actually someone I know.

She's Officer Moo Goong Hwa.

She and I have had some other problems too,

but she got an administrative job after her husband died,

took the police exam, and joined the police force.

She's a tough cookie.

She even protested alone in front of a police office.

She won't back down if she picks up on anything.

I can't believe that she's with Cha Tae Jin out of everyone.

We really need to get rid of him as soon as possible.

I feel as if I have a fish bone stuck in my throat.

He keeps making me uneasy.

I feel much better now after seeing Officer Choi.

To tell you the truth,

I've been uneasy because it reminded me of what Su Hyuk went through.

- Good fortune awaits you. - Me?

Good things happen to those who do nice things, you know.

By the way, how did you even come up with that idea?

Well, can't anyone come up with an idea like that?

Sure, sure.

That's actually better.

It wouldn't have suited you if you said, "I didn't even do anything."

- What? - Anyway, I was a bit surprised.

I didn't expect you to gladly step in and help like that.

What kind of person did you think I am?

Well, what do you think? I just perceived you as you seemed to be.

I didn't think you were interested in others' businesses.

I guess I don't know you that well yet.

Of course not. Did you think that you knew me inside out?

Do you have some time later? I want to talk.

My gosh, I told you that you don't need to do things like this.

The housekeeper comes in the afternoon, and I can do it myself.

You'll fall ill if you keep bringing us food every single day like this.

These are seasoned shiitake mushrooms...

My gosh, what's wrong?

By any chance, are you...

Gosh, no.

No?

It's probably because I've been worried about Dad lately.

I've been having digestive problems.

Of course, you'd be worried. You're such a caring daughter.

Please don't say that.

I can't call myself a caring daughter.

I'm not a caring daughter.

Bo Ra.

I think the porridge has cooled down now.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

Please understand me.

Does Su Hyuk know that you're here now?

No, I didn't tell him because he seemed busy.

He's busy these days because of a contest and so on.

Come to think of it, after your visit during Chuseok,

I've never invited him over for a meal.

I should be a better mother-in-law.

- It's okay. - It's not okay.

Men don't talk about it,

but they remember hard times given by their in-laws for a long time.

Later.

After Dad fully recovers.

I guess Do Hyun is back.

- You're here. - Yes.

I'm leaving.

Mom, I'll get going now.

Did something happen between the two of you?

Bo Ra is acting awkward around you. Did you two have a fight?

Why? Because of your dad?

What do you want to know?

- Do Hyun. - Didn't I tell you?

Don't get on my nerves,

and stay quiet. I told you to live like that.

Don't worry about useless things.

Just do what you must as a caregiver.

What should I do now?

I can't live without Su Hyuk now.

Must I listen to Dad and move back home?

You attached all the video clips, right?

Of course.

Then I'll go ahead and click the send button.

Okay.

We got it done somehow.

I wasn't sure if we'd be able to meet the deadline.

I know, right?

I feel awkward now after submitting it.

I really hope it goes well this time.

It will.

Good work.

You too.

I mean, you just got married, and you even had a fight with your wife.

Since we finished the work nicely,

why don't you buy me some beer?

Okay. I'll do that.

Call Bo Ra.

Shall I?

Hi, Bo Ra.

I was just about to call you.

Yes, we've just submitted it.

So I'm going to drink beer with Ju Young. Will you come over?

Or shall we go to your office?

I'm sorry.

I think I'll have to work all night...

because of the cook book I've been working on.

Could you please tell Mother for me?

I'll go there right now.

I'm sorry. I think we'll have to drink some other time.

Really. What's gotten into them?

They're making me get worried.

I mean, they couldn't live without each other.

Aren't you peckish?

Shall I fix you something to eat?

Come, and sit down.

Let's talk about it now.

I can't pretend that there's nothing wrong anymore.

Honestly tell me about why you're acting like this.

No excuse will work today.

So don't think of avoiding it anymore.

I am...

stressed out a little.

No. To be completely honest with you,

I am greatly distressed.

Bo Ra.

So please, can you help me?

So I can be more comfortable. Please?

Tell me what I should do.

I'll do whatever you want.

You can tell me.

Let's...

- go away. - What?

Do Hyun said he'll prepare everything we need to study abroad.

So you can study more about advertisement as you wanted,

and I can study whatever I want too.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Why should we study abroad all of a sudden?

I gave up on studies a long time ago.

Besides, I don't think studying abroad is necessary for my job.

I want to spend some time alone with you...

- at a place where I can be free. - Bo Ra.

Can't you make my wish come true when I want it so desperately?

I don't know what to say.

I couldn't even imagine that you would say something like this.

So have you been that distressed because of that?

Is it that hard for you to live with my family?

Yes. That's right.

I tried my best to get used to it, but I couldn't.

Does that make me a bad person?

Honestly, I can't say that we should go abroad right now.

I'll think about it.

Let's talk about it later.

Su Hyuk.

Su Hyuk, please.

Would you like to order more food?

No. I can't drink anyway.

Go ahead, and tell me. What is it?

Why can't you just tell me?

Is it something difficult to say?

About Woo Ri's dad...

Can you tell me about the situation when the accident happened?

I don't really want to talk about it.

The thought of the accident still makes me furious.

I think it was a warm day.

It was spring.

The next day was his day off, so we planned to go to Gyeongju.

I packed our bags by myself...

and called him to ask when he would come home.

He said he was driving a drunk driver's car to the substation,

and he would come home soon. Right then...

I heard a crash.

A few hours later,

I heard that jerk turned himself in, so I ran to the police station.

He said he made a mistake because he was drunk, and apologized,

but he didn't seem apologetic at all.

Mole turned himself in?

Yes.

He told everything without any guilt.

He really didn't seem to feel guilty.

I think I heard he got three years in prison.

Well, I didn't even want to know what happened to him next.

And I ended up facing him again like this.

But why are you asking me about it all of a sudden?

Just as you said, I'm going to look into the case all over again.

Starting from the first crime that Chun Young Bae committed.

It must've been really hard for you.

It was indeed.

It happened less than three months after we got married.

At first, I couldn't believe it.

That he disappeared so suddenly.

It still feels like a midsummer night's dream when I think of it.

Come to think of it, I think that's how my life has always been.

Men came to me like a dream...

and disappeared like a dream as well.

Goong Hwa.

Gosh. This udon is really good.

Goong Hwa is so cool.

She's cool?

Do you think you can say that if she were your daughter?

A woman should be prideful like me.

But she throws herself for him. Gosh, that makes my blood boil.

My son told me...

that women like her are popular between men these days.

They rather think of coy girls annoying and disgusting.

Goong Hwa knows what she's doing.

Since she's thrown herself,

I hope it's going to work out well.

What are you talking about?

Hey. Honestly, there's no one better than him for Goong Hwa.

When she threw herself,

I bet her heart had already flown to him.

If that's the case, she should go to him. What choice does she have?

That's true,

But do you know how complicated his family is?

His grandmother, his oddly stupid stepmom,

and that sly sister.

Oh, well. You can't choose whom to love.

- What is Goong Hwa going to do? - Do you think it's funny? Do you?

I'll get going now.

- I'm home. - Hi. I'm rooting for you.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

You told her about me again, right?

Yes, I did. What are you going to do about it?

Why are you so late today?

- I had something to discuss. - With whom?

Why are you talking like that?

Gosh, you sure did a good job in getting over him.

If you got over him,

why did you throw yourself to save him?

It wasn't like that. It was a dangerous situation.

Exactly. In a dangerous situation,

why would you throw yourself?

I'm his partner after all.

Should I have just watched when I knew he was in danger?

Goodness, the two of you were busy trying to rescue each other.

Do you think I don't know you?

Saying things like this is useless. We should just go with the flow.

Like Soo Ja said, there's nothing I can do to stop your feelings.

And it looks like Mr. Cha feels the same way about you.

It'll happen if you two are meant to be together.

If not, so be it.

Be careful not to doze off, okay? It can be very dangerous.

Come to the restaurant after 12pm starting tomorrow.

I'll get everything ready before you arrive.

No, that's too much work for you.

What are you talking about? You're the one who's overworking yourself.

Hee Jin, I feel weird seeing how much you've changed so suddenly.

Why? You don't like it?

No, it's not that. It makes me feel as if we're newlyweds again.

Let's live with that mindset again.

Really?

Bye, Baek Ho.

Oh, yes. Bye. I should get going. That's right.

- Gosh. - You're being silly.

I'll see you later. You should sleep, okay?

Come back safe.

Mole turned himself in?

You're late.

- Why are you still awake? - I couldn't fall asleep.

I guess Su Hyuk will be coming home pretty late today.

He's pretty busy these days because of the contest.

Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?

What's with me these days?

What's the matter?

Well, I just don't know what I'm doing.

To tell you the truth, he was put in a dangerous situation recently.

- You mean Mr. Cha? - Yes.

I found myself running to him as soon as I heard about it.

I was so worried that those jerks might do something to him.

I tried to protect him even when they were swinging clubs.

I really have no idea what I was thinking.

That obviously means that you still like him.

I thought I've moved on like a cool person,

but I guess I'm far from that.

Then why don't you honestly tell him how you feel about him...

and start over again?

If he finds out that I'm feeling this way,

he'll feel so burdened.

When something falls through, that's it for him.

You never know. He might feel the same way.

I told you that it's over.

And I'm happy enough with how things are now.

Even if you have to take away all of my happiness from me...

I really want you to be happy.

Bo Ra, do you know that you've been acting a little strange lately?

What... What are you talking about?

Well, what you just said sounded strange.

And Su Hyuk has been very upset lately.

Can't you tell me what's going on?

Su Hyuk and I are just going through something.

You don't need to worry about it.

Attention, everyone.

There's a serious matter that requires your attention.

I can't believe it even after seeing it with my own two eyes.

What's going on?

Do you know how much we have in the account now?

- Is it over 20,000 dollars? - Go higher.

- 25,000 dollars? - No.

No way. It's not 30,000 dollars, is it?

Bingo.

- This is great news, Officer Choi. - Thanks, Officer Moo.

We might be able to raise enough for the entire settlement money.

I know, right?

You see, it's not like it happened to a stranger, you know.

All of us 110,000 police officers are going through it together.

What's going on? Why does everyone look so happy today?

Mr. Park, we've raised over 30,000 dollars for Officer Choi.

What? Seriously?

Since it's such a happy day, I'm going to treat you all.

What will you buy us?

I saw the lady selling carp bread over there.

Go buy five of them.

How cheap. You're just getting five for everyone to share?

Just buy a bag of them for each person.

You always show up when you don't need to.

All right. A bag for each person, it is.

Here.

Why are you taking your credit card out when you're buying carp bread?

Right.

I'll go.

No, I'll go.

It's on me today.

Yes, treat your colleagues. Go.

Yes, sir!

Here you go.

Fortunately, the number hasn't changed.

But why do you need the witness' phone number so suddenly?

Officer Moo told me about the accident yesterday...

and something was a bit odd.

- What's odd? - I heard Mole turned himself in...

when he showed up a few hours after the hit-and-run accident.

He turned himself in? He didn't get caught at the scene?

That's right. He's definitely not the type to do such a thing.

You're right. That is a bit odd.

But don't tell Officer Moo anything yet.

She's tender-hearted, you know.

I don't want her to worry about something we're not even sure yet.

Mr. Cha.

I wasn't going to say this to you.

I'm really not the type to interfere in...

other people's intimate relationships.

But you and Officer Moo...

I mean, you know. Gosh.

Do you have feelings for her?

It looks like you are the type to interfere.

What?

Wait.

He does have feelings for her, right?

Thank you very much.

I asked Chairman Jin earnestly a few times.

My dad wouldn't have said yes.

He never wastes even a cent...

to anything that would result in a loss.

And I heard that you got on his wrong side too.

Oh, right. I should've handled things better.

I'm still sorry about that.

Anyway, I will never forget this favor.

Gosh, you don't have to say all that.

I just want to ask you if you could take care of something small for me.

Where are you coming from?

I met with the president of Hanjoo Bank.

Your father doesn't like him.

Ms. Heo asked your father many times, but he said no.

I know that too.

I needed to use him for something.

Anyway, you know some people in newspaper companies, right?

Why do you ask?

A police officer at Chamsu-ri Substation got himself in trouble,

and it looks like Cha Tae Jin is trying to help him.

I should spread the word about it since he's doing something nice.

What are you trying to do?

I want to make him a hero.

I'll make him the greatest police officer in the world...

so I can make him fall hard as a corrupt cop.

Look at this. Hae Chan is not taking this easily.

Can't you see how serious he is about this?

Look. He wrote down how much salt...

and sugar he put in. He made notes about everything.

Hae Chan, can we expect something amazing?

I've experimented with a few things, but it's not complete yet.

Dad, can I practice here after my cooking classes?

Of course.

- See you later. - Okay, sure. Be safe.

Why does cooking excite him so much?

He's wasting his smart brain.

Hey, you need a smart brain to be a good chef.

Hee Jin, just trust me.

You will never regret letting him choose this path.

I'll be happy if that's the case.

What is this?

What I earned from working as a designated driver.

Can I really accept this?

Of course! I even put up with nosebleeds to earn it for you.

Baek Ho.

- Let's watch a movie tomorrow. - Movie?

It's been so long since we last went to the movies together.

While I was getting the tickets,

I bought tickets for Father and Mother too.

My goodness. What's this?

They're movie tickets.

We're going to a cinema tomorrow. I bought your tickets too.

There's a movie about a beautiful love story.

Romantic movies are perfect for autumn, right?

Really? Baek Ho, thank you so much.

I haven't watched a movie for a long time.

I really like romantic movies.

Hold on a second. What should I wear tomorrow?

You're just going to a theater in our neighborhood.

But still...

Oh, right. Shouldn't we take Mother with us?

No. What if she trips...

while walking in such a dark place?

She might get hurt badly.

Grandma doesn't like to watch movies.

She prefers dramas on TV.

She never goes to a department store because she hates busy places.

She's right. Mother wouldn't like it.

I'm sure she would say that it's too loud.

Is that so? I wonder why.

She'll change her mind once she goes to a cinema.

They've decided without even asking me.

Mother seems so happy for nothing.

I know.

Why hasn't she gone to a cinema if she likes it so much?

It's not that expensive.

She was chased after loan sharks for over 10 years.

Watching movies must have been a luxury for her.

Is that right?

I feel so bad for her.

Let's at least buy her a movie ticket from time to time.

Okay. Let's do that.

That we can do.

My goodness. Suddenly, you look so pretty.

I've always been pretty.

I know, but you look even prettier when you are being nice.

Gosh. Are you happy?

Oh, my. Why? Are you going out again?

Yes. I need to meet someone.

Why don't you drink this and get some sleep?

You look so tired.

- Did something good happen? - Me?

Actually, Baek Ho bought us movie tickets.

- I see. - But whom are you meeting?

Are you going to meet Officer Moo by any chance?

Mother.

It's just that I think it'd be nice if you two get back together.

Your dad thinks very differently from before.

When I said that I wished you two could get back together,

he didn't throw a fit.

I don't think anyone in this family would disapprove of her now.

I must've said something useless again.

Just drink this, and go on. Okay? Drink it.

Drink up.

- See you later. - See you.

Don't be too late, okay?

Why are you out here in this cold?

Where are you going at such a late hour?

I have something to take care of.

Please go inside. You might catch a cold.

All right. I was about to go back in.

See you later.

He used to come to my room...

and massage my shoulders when he came home.

Since what happened with her, he never comes to my room.

(May he rest in peace.)

(Bong Yoon Jae)

Mom, why are you crying?

Thank you for sparing your busy time.

That's okay.

However, it's an old case. I'm not sure if I can be any help.

Do you remember this person by any chance?

He's the hit-and-run driver who caused the accident that day.

I don't know. I can't recognize him.

He's short and has a big mole on his face.

I just had a glimpse.

Besides, it was late at night, and he was wearing a hat.

I see. Thank you for your cooperation.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be any help.

Wait.

Did you say that he's short?

- Yes. - He's not.

The man I saw was tall.

He was a tall, slim, and young man.

I said the same thing at the police station.

Did you say that he was tall?

(Lovers in Bloom)

Did they report the news yet?

It seems to be a good story since they collected over 100,000 dollars.

Since they started, tell them to make him look really good.

Aren't you the kid I met before?

Did something happen?

She threw away everything for you.

I don't want to let others make decisions for me anymore.

- You better make a wise decision. - Have you looked into it?

The witness said that it was a tall, slim man,

but it's written in the statement that he's short.

You ruined your own son's life.

Chun Young Bae, if it wasn't you, who could it be?
