Shall we take a break?

(Episode 31)

Ms. Lee.

Hold on. Look at me.

What? Why?

Ms. Lee, you...

Your lips...

Here.

What are you doing right now?

- Gosh. What are you thinking? - Sorry?

You got pen ink on your lips.

Here.

Stop laughing. Have you never seen anyone with ink on the lips?

You're only making it spread more widely.

Do you have a mirror?

Stay still.

I'll go to the restroom.

Yes. That's a good idea.

He could've just told me that I had something on my lips.

Why did he put his finger on his lips? I was so surprised.

Who surprised you?

Ms. Kim.

You look like you got caught doing something bad.

What do you mean by that?

I guess you're quite close to him.

Pardon? To whom are you referring?

Oh, right. I'm talking about Kyung Jun.

I'm close to him.

So...

Let's not make things awkward between us.

Well...

I don't know what relationship you two have,

but Mr. Jang and I are not that close...

to the point that it would make you feel uncomfortable.

I see.

Anyway, I'm relieved to know that you're not close to him though.

Be careful from now on.

Pardon? What should I be careful with?

Kyung Jun and I have been very close...

since we were in the US.

Now that we're on the same team as a manager and an intern,

we decided not to let anyone know about us for the time being.

I want you to keep that in mind.

You know what I'm trying to say, don't you?

Of course.

Oh, right. No one on our team seems to know that you have a kid.

That's right. They don't know yet.

I didn't have a chance to tell them about it.

And actually, when I applied for a job before,

because of the fact that I have a child...

Oh, you made it to the interview but didn't get hired?

That's right, Ms. Kim.

I see.

Then...

can I believe that you have no other reasons...

not to tell anyone that you have a child?

Other reasons?

No, I have no other reasons.

Right. I mean...

there shouldn't be any other reasons if you think about your situation.

Pardon me?

You need to get a permanent position.

For Mi Ri Nae's sake.

Yes. Thank you.

Ms. Im, let's get going.

The CEO and the employees of Power Side Dish just arrived.

Why are you so excited?

Their food is so good, you know.

I'm excited to try their new product that hasn't been launched yet.

- We'll be back after a meeting. - See you later.

See you.

What took you so long?

I thought you were running away from the meeting.

I was about to go out to find you.

Why would I run away?

Let's go in and finish our meeting.

Mr. Jang.

How about we do the rest out here?

The staff lounge feels a little stuffy.

Really?

Ms. Kim, do you mind if we have a meeting here?

Of course not. Go ahead. Don't mind me.

Thank you.

All right.

Is there...

anything I can help you with?

How far have things come?

So far, we've done this much.

Well...

I see. You've finished that part too.

Yes.

Oh, my.

Where are the jackets? Oh, I found them.

That looks nice.

Let's try it on.

Mother, you haven't come out shopping in a long time, right?

When you run a restaurant,

you have no time for shopping at a nice store like this.

And no one has taken me out shopping either.

Look at this. It will keep you warm for sure.

My, the color is so beautiful too. Right?

I must say, they make good clothes these days.

Try this on.

I'm not sure if I'd look good in this.

Come on. Try it on.

This is a new product for this season.

We are almost sold out. This is the last one we have left.

- Oh, my. - Try it on, ma'am.

This is the last one?

Can you take this?

I'll try it on.

Let's try it on.

- The last one. - It's so pretty.

- Nice. - Look at you.

I think it's perfect for you.

Do you like it?

Mother, are you going to buy this for me?

But it must be expensive.

I'm surprised to see you worry about money.

It's your money, not mine. That's why.

I'm determined to buy you a new outfit today.

So don't stop me.

What about the size?

- This is size small, right? - Yes.

We'll take this.

(Eun Sook)

- Yes, Eun Sook. - Where are you, Hwa Kyung?

I'm here to see Mother, but no one is home.

I stepped out with Mother. We'll be back shortly.

Wait, Hwa Kyung.

- Yes? - Should I wait in this cold?

What's the passcode for your door lock?

Hello? Can you hear me...

We will...

She could go to a cafe or something.

Why would she ask for our door lock passcode?

Hwa Kyung, we should go now.

Yes, Mother.

Mother.

Don't your legs hurt?

- Please sit. - Okay.

- Be careful. - Oh, dear.

Are you going to keep standing there?

Well... No, Mother.

Did we keep you waiting long, Eun Sook?

It's really cold outside, you know.

Mother.

I see that you went shopping for clothes with Hwa Kyung.

Yes. She suggested we should get some fresh air.

I see.

What did you buy? Show me.

Oh, this is... It's a coat.

Oh, a coat? Good for you.

I was going to buy a new coat for her as well.

Show me.

Hey, this is...

It's mine.

Mother bought it for me.

Did you...

come here because you were worried about me?

Yes. Chang Il told me...

to come to see if you were doing well and...

And?

And to bring you home.

My goodness.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I shouldn't have said that.

Please stop being angry and go home with me.

I was never angry. What are you talking about?

Pardon me?

You see, I'm here because I want to be here.

Now that you've seen that I was doing well,

you should go home now and do whatever you want.

I should start preparing dinner.

But... Mother.

Oh, no. Eun Sook, wait.

Stop it.

Come on.

I said I was leaving. Why are you stopping me?

You can't leave like this. What do I do?

She told me to do whatever I wanted.

I don't want to stay here either. I'm leaving.

No. Eun Sook, please. I beg you.

Please take Mother home with you. Please.

Why? She bought you a new outfit...

and is cooking for you when she's your mother-in-law.

My gosh. I'm in shock.

You must be happy.

Are you serious?

You know that it's not like what it looks like.

I'd feel better if she gave me an earful.

She told me not to do anything and did all the house chores.

I couldn't be more uncomfortable.

Then let's talk about the 100,000 dollars.

I can't believe you just offered a deal like that on the street.

Must you be like this?

I really need that money, Hwa Kyung.

It's not just about the money.

What do you mean?

I want to let you keep the money,

but it'd hurt my pride.

That's why I can't decide.

I mean, do you know what Chang Yi said to me?

Did he really say that to you?

Chang Yi said that to you?

I hate myself for not recording what he said.

You must understand me as a woman.

If Chang Il said something like that to you,

wouldn't it make you livid?

And to be honest, you're the one who caused all this.

Say no more. I get it.

I'll call you when I get home.

It's cold outside. Go back in.

You go first.

I'll get going.

Eun Sook, don't forget to call me.

It'll get dark soon.

Let's play for just 30 minutes and come home.

Okay, Uncle Do Sik.

Wait, Mi Ri Nae. You'll be cold.

But it feels uncomfortable.

No. If you catch a cold on top of everything,

your mom will get mad at me.

You're right. She'll get so mad.

Shall we go now?

Let's go.

All right.

Hey, Eun Jin.

You said you had a flight this morning.

Are you okay?

Hey... Do Sik.

- I'm here. - Auntie Eun Jin.

What's wrong?

What's the problem?

Can you take me home?

Sure. Do you think you can walk?

Oh, goodness. Are you okay?

Kyung Jun and I have been very close...

since we were in the US.

Now that we're on the same team as a manager and an intern,

we decided not to let anyone know about us for the time being.

You know what I'm trying to say, don't you?

Is that why they pretended they didn't know each other?

No. They just need to hide the fact that they're dating.

If he was wealthy enough to study in the US,

why did he work the night shift at the convenience store?

What do you think, Ms. Lee? I think this is the right font size.

Shall we go with this font?

Ms. Lee, are you distracted again?

- Ms. Lee. - Yes.

Well...

Mr. 10,000 Dollars... I mean, Mr. Jang.

I'm so curious about something...

that I can't help but ask.

What is it?

Why did you work at the store with your fancy qualifications?

Do you still want to know that?

- Yes. - Are you super curious about it?

Yes.

Thank you.

Are you okay? Show me.

I'm fine. I think I got something in my eye when I sneezed.

You shouldn't rub your eye with your hand.

Look at me.

I said I was okay.

Keep your eyes open and look at me.

Blink your eyes.

Do you feel better now?

The eyes are essential. You shouldn't rub them like that.

I feel better now.

You're such a handful unlike usual.

I know.

But Mr. Jang, I have hands too.

- Sorry? - I can do it by myself.

So don't help me next time.

It was like a reflex. I did it even before I knew.

Ms. Kim.

Oh, Director Jang.

I see you bought some night snacks for the interns.

So did I.

But why won't you give it to them?

Well... They seemed so focused.

I didn't want to interrupt them. I'll wait for a while.

But pizza doesn't taste good when it's cold.

I came at the perfect time. Let's go in together.

Mr. Jang, I'll go to the restroom.

Oh, okay.

You two are working hard.

Hello, Director Jang.

You're here, sir.

I'm here too.

I'm disappointed. You're not glad to see me?

Of course, we're glad to see you. But we can't all sit here...

Let's go to my office.

Let's go, Ms. Lee.

Ms. Kim, I'll take it.

Thanks.

You said you would sulk for a few days.

I bought the food for you.

To cheer you up for your first intern competition.

I see. Thank you, Hae Mi.

But don't think I've given up on you.

To be honest, I wanted to show you...

only the good side of me.

I'm sorry for being prickly toward you.

I want to apologize for making you feel burdened.

Could pizza cut it?

Yes, of course.

Thank you for reaching out first.

But Hae Mi.

Yes?

Even when you're angry, sulky, or prickly,

you're my dear friend whom I'm grateful to.

Then can I ask you something as your dear friend?

What is it?

By any chance, do you have a crush on someone?

What are you talking about? I don't have a crush on anyone.

Besides, you know that I don't have time for that.

I'm too busy working my way up to a permanent position.

Then I'm relieved.

And don't forget that I'll keep trying.

- Hae Mi. - You don't have to like me back.

But don't push me away.

Shall we go? Director Jang must be waiting for us.

What did you two have to talk about for so long?

Have a seat.

Let's eat. Ms. Kim, let's leave them to their work after eating.

- You still have a lot to do, right? - Yes.

Honestly, we might not finish it even if we pull an all-nighter.

Even so, you should sleep at home.

Think of your family who must be waiting for you.

Wouldn't you agree, Yeong I?

Yes, I agree.

- Here you go. - Here.

I'm the one who bought the pizza.

I can't believe you two.

I'm starting to feel jealous.

I'm sorry, Ms. Kim.

Well... I'll take this one.

You don't mind, do you, Yeong I?

Not at all.

It looks good.

Eat up, Yeong I.

Thank you. I'll enjoy it.

Ms. An.

Yes, sir.

Can you hear that?

- I don't understand... - Our company stocks are falling.

I heard that noise all day long.

Meanwhile, our competitor's stocks are skyrocketing.

Is it good?

Dad, I'll be completely honest with you.

Go ahead.

I discussed it with Yoon Hee and had a meeting with the executives.

But we couldn't find a way to beat our competitor right now.

Don't just nag us. Please tell us what to do this time.

If you give us advice, we'll take it, Father.

During the meeting,

you only thought of what to sell, didn't you?

- Yes, we did. - Yes.

You still have a long way to go. You think like a peddler.

High Heels, you should listen carefully too.

When you run a business,

you shouldn't just think of what you have to sell.

At times like this,

you should find a way to enhance the brand image.

By the brand image,

do you mean the brand value of TS Retail?

That's correct.

Even when we sell the same product,

we need to make people choose ours because they trust us.

I'll see how it goes until the end of this month.

If you don't think you can do it, step down from your positions.

My gosh. Why does he still have this?

When I told him to go overseas to have surgery,

he firmly refused it.

I'm sure he'll refuse again.

Tell Kyung Jun to come down here.

I should at least try to convince him.

He probably won't listen to you, Father.

He wants to live in that condition for the rest of his life.

I think we should respect his decision...

Would you say the same thing if he were your own child?

Both of you are such terrible parents.

I will undergo surgery.

Kyung Jun.

I didn't mishear you, right?

You just said that you'll undergo surgery, right?

Say it one more time for me, okay?

Yes.

This time, I will undergo surgery no matter what.

I'll undergo surgery.

Good.

That's great, my baby.

I'm glad you made the decision. Thank you. I'm grateful.

That's a relief, Father.

He had been refusing to undergo surgery until then.

I wonder what changed his mind five years ago.

What was the reason?

Ms. Cha.

Why... What is it?

You must not come upstairs after coming home from work.

What did you just say?

It's an order from Chairman Jang.

It's falling. It keeps going down.

Of course, it's falling.

So Bok Hee is not at So Bok Hee's Beef Bone Soup.

I knew this was going to happen.

But Dad, the sales go down sometimes even when she's here.

It was supposed to go up today.

Did it go down?

Why don't you check it again?

I already did.

Uncle Eun Ho, Auntie Eun Jin got sick earlier in the afternoon.

Really?

But Mi Ri Nae, she went to work and will come back tomorrow.

No. She was sick earlier,

so Uncle Do Sik and I walked her home.

- Really? - What?

Mr. Kim, I should go home now.

My mother will be home late too.

Sure. Hurry up and go home.

Thank you for helping us today.

I'll go with you, Eun Ho.

I'm worried about Eun Jin.

She must've taken the day off because she wasn't feeling well.

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

- Chang Il. - Hey, Chang Yi.

Hello, Great-uncle Chang Yi.

Hi, Mi Ri Nae.

Did you come straight here after work by yourself?

Yes, Eun Sook called me. Is she at home?

Yes. But why did she ask you to come when she knows you're busy?

She didn't tell me about it.

I'll go and talk to her.

Okay. I'll be home shortly.

Eun Sook, I'm here.

Please come in.

She's sleeping soundly.

Ms. Lee.

- Ms. Lee. - Welcome to TS Convenience Store.

(The Love in Your Eyes)

What's the point of having a successful husband?

Have you forgotten that she took care of you?

You're the one who caused all this.

Why are you getting angry at me?

Why do you need these things?

You're not blind anymore.

I was simply worried about you as your mother.

You were worried about me?

I'm super upset. I'm serious.

You keep getting on my nerves.

Mr. Jang, you were never an emotional person.

Did you tell your mom you'd come here?

Mom is at work now.

What? Your mom is still at work?

Yeong I, where are you now?

Let's meet up outside of the office at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Why should we?
