(Lovers in Bloom)

(Episode 94)

It sounded like you were talking about Senior Inspector Hwang.

Do you eavesdrop now?

I wasn't trying to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear it.

If it's about him, I'm interested too.

Don't be. It has nothing to do with you.

Why are you going back on your word?

Are you trying to leave me out?

Didn't we agree to treat each other as partners?

Moo Goong Hwa.

Why are you doing this? Do you not like me even as a partner?

What are you doing now?

Are you whining to me?

You want to be respected as a co-worker? That's good,

but you should know your place first.

I'm not your friend, but your supervisor.

Let me warn you. You better focus on your work.

Don't waste your time on useless things.

Are you two going through something?

I'm talking about Mr. Cha.

There seems to be some tension between you two these days.

You're right.

We broke up.

- Really? - Yes.

It's totally over now,

so you don't need to worry anymore.

Does that mean...

that I can now hit on him?

I still have feelings for him.

I guess I can't give up because I never had a chance.

It does bother me that you two used to be in a relationship,

but I want to try my luck with him if the two of you are really done.

Why would you ask that to me?

Just go ahead, and decide on your own.

What are you doing?

I got the photos of myself doing volunteer work at the orphanage.

Look at this. Aren't the smiles of these children so cute?

Right?

It feels like I can hear them laugh.

They're adorable.

Photos like this make me think it'd be great to have many children.

That would keep me from feeling lonely too.

How many kids do you wish to have?

At least three children or more.

Goodness. I must make a lot of money.

Well, that's not a problem for me.

Gosh. Seriously.

Looking at these photos makes me want to go on a picnic.

An autumn picnic.

Shall we pack some food and go on a picnic?

I'm sorry.

I have to finish the advertisement of the cooker by this weekend.

Let's go on a picnic after that.

All right.

Let's try not to be too upset after visiting your parents tomorrow.

You'll be by my side.

I'm not worried.

You must be tired. Why don't you get some rest?

I should get used to this during the holidays.

Actually, this is quite fun.

You already have some comments.

"Man of Pure Love".

He says he loves my food.

By the way, if you're not going to move out,

shouldn't we at least put up some new wallpapers on your room?

That's not necessary.

We're just going to get a bigger bed.

You should. The bed she used alone was bigger than that.

Considering that, I understand why her parents are upset...

about her being married to you.

Since things turned out like this, try to be nice to her parents.

They're your parents-in-law after all.

I know. I should be.

So I'm planning to visit her parents tomorrow.

What? Oh, sure.

You made the right decision. You should do that.

Please don't worry too much.

Gosh, I'm not worried at all.

I'm home.

Hi. Did you eat dinner?

Of course, I ate dinner.

I'm so tired. I should wash up and go to bed.

Okay.

She's troubled, right?

Sorry?

Did she break up with Tae Jin?

How did you know?

Mom, please don't say anything to her for a while.

I thought that was the case.

Let me warn you. You better focus on your work.

Don't waste your time on useless things.

You're all that, Cha Tae Jin.

You startled me, Mom.

You should... Please knock first.

I need to talk to you for a second.

Mom, I had a really long day today. So please make it quick.

Think that you had a very romantic relationship, and forget about it.

It's common for a young woman...

to break up with a man she's dating.

Gosh, Mom.

I'm already thinking that way.

I'm perfectly fine, so don't worry about me.

You should've just enjoyed dating him.

Why did you make such a scene to get married with him?

You didn't even have the chance to enjoy dating with him.

I know.

To be honest, what's so good about being married?

Haven't you been married before?

Did you want to get married again even after such experience?

Yes, I did. I wanted to marry him.

Why do you not want to get remarried?

Your dad left too early.

Those who leave without protecting their families are all traitors.

Tae Jin is a traitor too.

You should never look back on a traitor.

Okay. I got it.

Anyway, did you dump him or get dumped?

What? Oh, about that?

I was dumped. He dumped me.

You got... You got dumped?

How could he dump you?

I told you to break up with him first!

- Goodnight. - Gosh.

What could I say about something...

that has already been done?

But to be honest,

I don't feel so comfortable about that.

That was the money he earned for working his entire life.

Choon Rae had no idea.

I did it without letting her know, Mother.

You must have had your own reasons to pay her debt,

but what are you going to do without that money?

You'll need more and more money as you grow older.

You don't have a single penny now.

There's nothing to worry about. I still have work.

Gosh.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I have no excuse for that.

- I'm home. - Welcome home.

Have you called Ju Young?

I should.

I like Ju Young.

- Do you? - Yes.

I'm happy that I have a younger brother now.

Dad, could you spare me a minute?

Please take this.

What's this?

I saved some money for my wedding.

- Tae Jin. - I already told you...

that I have no intentions of getting married.

Please give it to Hee Jin.

If you don't resolve this matter, Stepmom will have a hard time.

Who else does she have?

She came here because she trusted you. You should look after her.

I couldn't do the same,

but at least you should look after her.

You give this to Hee Jin.

I'm sure that she'll be grateful to you.

Dad, you give it to her.

She will feel better to receive it from you than me.

And don't tell her about me.

Thank you.

What did Tae Jin say?

That brat...

gave me money.

He told me to give it to Hee Jin.

So you can put your mind at ease.

Did Tae Jin do that?

Yes.

I guess I'll be lucky during my later years.

I can't believe I have such a good son now.

Actually, not long ago,

Hee Jin asked me for money.

Hee Jin did?

It looked like her landlord wanted to raise the deposit.

But I didn't have any savings.

After that, she heard that I paid your debt.

That's why she got so upset. Try to understand her.

It's understandable if you consider that she needs money urgently.

What's there for me to understand?

I have nothing to say.

Nevertheless,

it feels good...

that I'm having a conversation like this with you.

If I were to be sitting all alone in my room and in this situation,

I would have felt so miserable.

Hey. Aren't you going out?

I'll get going later.

I should've asked them to drink with me instead of playing golf.

It's so hard to play along with old people.

Dad, where are you going?

I'm going to meet Mr. Kim from Myeong-dong.

Who is it?

- Bo Ra is here. - What?

Who's here?

Dad. Go easy on them today, please.

What on earth are you talking about? Don't let them in!

But she's just here for a holiday visit.

I'll run away from home if you kick them out today.

You brat. How dare you?

Hey, you two came!

We're here.

Welcome.

Dad.

Dad, shouldn't you greet them?

I don't have time for that!

- Wait, Dad. - Dad!

Dad has an appointment.

Bo Ra, relax now. The situation is over now anyway.

Make yourselves at home. I'll fix lunch quickly.

I should at least do that for my son-in-law.

Gosh, so this is your room?

Bo Ra, we're at your place now.

What if someone walks in?

I'm so relieved.

Do you know how worried I was by thinking Dad might slap you?

I know.

I had mentally prepared myself for a punch, so I'm surprised.

I know, right?

He'll forgive us if we visit him often and try our best.

No, I should become successful first.

That would be faster.

You're already doing your best.

Hey, Bo Ra!

Seriously.

It feels hot in here.

- Come eat. - Okay.

Well, eat up.

I'm sorry to have just brought out the side dishes that we had.

There's so much food.

We don't celebrate Chuseok, so we don't have any Chuseok foods.

We ate enough of that at home.

We don't do anything special for New Year's Day or Chuseok.

Dad has cut ties with all of our relatives.

I see.

Do Hyun, please.

What? He'll find out at some point anyway.

Well, I know that your mother is a very good cook.

I hope you won't dislike my food.

They are delicious.

Thank you for the food.

Didn't you say you have to meet someone? Aren't you running late?

My brother-in-law is visiting us for the first time. I can't just leave.

I must at least stay for this meal.

Thanks, Do Hyun.

How do you feel now that you've seen our place?

I wonder how Bo Ra really feels about living at our place.

Let's be honest. It's so tiny.

Do Hyun.

Hey, that won't discourage him. Shouldn't you know him better?

Su Hyuk, is your work going well?

I'm doing my best.

I offered help, but you rejected it.

Can't you try to be more flexible?

People give and receive help all the time.

Can't you do that?

Do Hyun, please!

But I must say, it's very brave of you to visit us.

It must've taken a lot of courage.

Bo Ra is the apple of my dad's eye.

He'll soon forgive you for her, so hang in there just a bit more.

The French fries turned out so well.

Eat this before you go.

I have to do my homework.

You don't have to.

Son, you're here!

Hae Chan.

It's okay.

Hae Chan, do you want to learn cooking?

It looked like you enjoy cooking.

If that's what you want, I'll make it happen for you.

I must say,

I think our son hates me the most in this entire world.

He's acting like that because he's sorry to you.

He's just not confident about living up to your expectations.

Soon, he'll start talking to you too.

You told me that the doctor said he'll get better as time goes by.

I'm so glad that it's not any worse than that.

You're right.

At least he answers to you.

It's better than not talking at all.

It's so exhausting to work night shifts for consecutive days.

Officer Moo, how did you do it?

I kept thinking about my daughter to get through it.

But don't you think the overtime pay is too little?

That's what I meant. Two dollars per hour is way too little.

It's worse than working part-time at a convenience store.

You're right. They should fix that, don't you think?

Oh, Mr. Park.

You now sneak in here without even acknowledging us.

It's because you guys make me so uncomfortable whenever I come by.

Gosh, you merciless people.

I'm here to file a complaint, okay? A complaint.

Oh, boy.

Have some coffee.

You're the best, Officer Moo.

Gosh. Those guys are too rude.

Where's Mr. Cha?

- He stepped out to buy something. - I see.

Are you and Mr. Cha on a covert operation of some sort these days?

Well, it's really not that much of a secret.

Why do you ask? Are you curious?

A little.

It sounded like you two were talking about Senior Inspector Hwang.

That's right.

You're holding grudges against him too, right?

What is it about?

Well...

You remember the murder of the golf lounge owner, right?

That's right.

You threw up at the scene, so you must remember it.

What about it?

A key suspect of that case recently showed up.

That man is...

What are you doing here?

What... What's the matter, Mr. Cha?

Come with me.

What do you want?

Are you completely ignoring what I said?

I told you that it's none of your business.

Why are you getting so angry?

- It's not even a big deal. - Goong Hwa.

It happened within our jurisdiction.

Is there a specific reason why I can't know about it?

- Do you want to spend time with me? - I beg your pardon?

Why? Do you want to feel like you're out on a date with me?

- Look, Mr. Cha. - Focus on your own job.

I will never forgive you if you do this again.

Gosh. What's the matter, Mr. Cha?

Let's be honest. It's more to it than what only you and I can handle.

Officer Moo would be perfect.

Mr. Park.

Come on. Think about it.

She's nimble and fearless.

She's great for disguise purposes too.

She's pretty stunning when she dresses up, you know.

She has a nice figure too.

Please don't tell her anything about it ever again.

- Mr. Cha, I was just... - I've made myself clear.

Okay. All right.

Seriously.

I didn't even do anything wrong.

All I did was answer Officer Moo's question.

Why is he so mad at me?

What now? What happened?

This is all your fault. You told me to help him.

What is this all about?

Well, Officer Moo seemed interested in the case,

so I suggested to Mr. Cha that we should have her join us,

but he put on a serious face and got all angry at me.

He never gets emotional like that. What is the matter with him today?

Just do as he says.

Gosh, Chief.

How would you understand his thoughtful intentions?

Father.

Father?

Sit down.

I couldn't tell you this before because Bo Ra was there.

Let's end this the easy way.

Tell me what you want.

Father.

How much would it take for you to leave Bo Ra?

Tell me.

This is a very rare opportunity.

If you leave my daughter,

I'll help you turn over a new leaf.

I won't leave Bo Ra.

Why? Do you think you can get more money...

if you stick with her?

To me, Bo Ra is more important than money.

I won't give up on her even if you gave me all of your fortune.

So you mean that you're going to be stubborn like this?

Bo Ra and I love each other with all our hearts.

Can't you just trust and watch us?

Love?

I get it.

That must be the only thing you can offer.

How much longer do you think...

Bo Ra can live in your house?

You better brace yourself.

I'll do whatever I can...

to bring Bo Ra back home.

Gosh. What a jerk.

Watch your mouth. He's Bo Ra's father.

Never tell my family about this.

If you let Bo Ra know this, I won't see you ever again.

- Yes, Bo Ra. - Is your work going well?

Yes.

You haven't eaten dinner yet, right?

Shall I pack some food and visit your office?

I can't focus on my work when you're around me.

I have an idea. I think I can finish my work by tomorrow afternoon.

Let's go on a picnic. The autumn picnic you talked about.

Really? Are you serious?

However, I'm sorry.

I don't think I can go home tonight since I need to finish my work.

So you're going to sleep out tonight?

Fine. I'll let it slide just this once.

Work hard, honey.

Okay. Good luck.

Yes. Okay. I'll call you later. Bye.

Oh, yes!

Meet me in front of your house at 8pm.

I'm glad that everything turned out to be better than expected.

Me too. Her parents welcomed them with a smile.

I'm relieved.

Right. What could they do now after they already got married?

I heard people like them dote on their grandchildren.

Tell Su Hyuk to have a child soon.

Gosh. I'd be too embarrassed to say that to him.

Why would you be embarrassed?

But she's so skinny. I'm worried if she can have a child soon.

Even I gave birth to children. And they're twins.

That's true. You had twins with this body.

I'm proud of you, Seon Ok.

Let's not worry about anything else now.

Let's sell many lunch boxes to make a lot of money.

Sounds good. Let's do that.

Oh, I almost forgot. From tomorrow, we have to make five more portions.

I had two customers when I had sold out all of our lunch boxes.

- Is that true? - It's popular at the substation.

That's not all. I'll show you something.

"Man of Pure Love"? Is he a widower?

Could he be?

I can tell by his nickname.

Or he could be a womanizer.

It must be so fun to reply to those comments.

You must feel like you're dating.

Stop with your nonsense.

It's just a conversation with my customer.

Check this out.

Hey. What brings you here?

Well, I needed to check some urgent documents.

Are your parents doing well?

They're the same as usual.

Jae Hee, you've become so successful.

You bought your parents an apartment.

Now, you only need to find a nice girl and get married.

Bo Ra and her husband came to our house and had lunch with us.

I thought there would be a commotion,

but Dad didn't say anything.

Is that right?

I'm going to the gym. Do you want to join me?

I'm good.

Would that be enough to make you feel better?

Let's spar together.

Let's spar.

You look like you would feel better only after that.

I'm just your superior at work now.

Nothing I do is because of you.

So stop deluding yourself, and behave yourself properly.

I'm not your boyfriend anymore.

I'm sorry. My gosh.

Do you feel better now?

Does it feel good to make a man bleed?

It's hard, isn't it?

Mr. Park is helping me out a lot.

I'm not talking about work.

I'm talking about Goong Hwa.

Mr. Park grumbled about it. Why did you get so mad?

I can't let Officer Moo get into danger.

So please don't do her any favors...

even if she asks of you.

You're still in love with her. How could you get over her?

Mr. Cha, being in love is something you can only do when you're young.

Don't try too hard.

You can't force yourself to get over someone.

Please. I'm asking you.

Goong Hwa must be very upset without even knowing this.

No one notices when a man is crying inside.

I'm so sorry...

that I hurt your face.

I know.

I've been slapped by girls before,

but I've never got a cut lip by being punched by a girl.

Don't get stressed out too much. That makes you age faster.

I'm sorry about that.

I'm also grateful to you.

What is this about now?

My heart doesn't flutter when I'm with you.

Gosh.

A jab wasn't enough for you, so you now throw an uppercut.

At least you don't hate me...

like you used to before.

I think this is a big improvement.

I can't...

fall for a man so easily or get over him so quickly.

It took me eight years.

Anyway,

you fell in love with someone else.

- Mr. Jin. - I'll wait.

I don't care if it takes 8 years or 80 years.

I can wait.

(Lovers in Bloom)

Is everything going well with your wedding plans?

I've decided to let her go because I love her. Like a real man.

He's so mean to me these days.

He seems determined to make me hate him.

About Do Hyun... You knew about it, didn't you?

Why are you being like this all of a sudden?

Mole showed up.

- I bet it all comes down to money. - Will we be on stakeout from today?

That's most likely.

- This is Officer Moo Goong Hwa. - She's in your dad's office now.

Do not meet my son ever again. You got that?

If you lay even a finger on her, I will not let it slide.
