Yeong I is...

actually...

My goodness.

It's here.

The results are out!

Our team came in first place. We won.

Kyung Jun, Yeong I. You guys won first place.

Really, Mr. Heo?

What? We won first place?

Yes.

Look, they posted the scores too.

The board members gave the HR team a higher score,

but you guys beat them...

in the final round.

We should celebrate.

Ms. Kim, aren't you happy?

Yes, it's great.

Congratulations.

You two worked hard together.

I'm glad your hard work paid off.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

Congratulations, Yeong I.

You too, Kyung Jun.

Thank you, Ms. Im.

This wouldn't have been possible without your help.

I didn't even do anything.

We should definitely have a team dinner on a day like this.

Our interns won.

Yes, of course. We definitely should.

Let's wait for Director Jang so he can join us too.

Is this what you wanted?

You gave them a perfect score in almost every category.

They wouldn't have won first place had it not been for you.

If you couldn't stop them yourself, you shouldn't have intervened.

Was it because of Lee Yeong I?

Why are you bringing her up all of a sudden?

Lee Yeong I, that girl.

She looks a lot like her.

Ja Young, the girl you were crazy about.

Is this your way of getting back at me...

for making you break up with her?

Or are you doing this for Kyung Jun?

You called the factory in Ulsan behind my back...

and told them to send their product sample!

We didn't get their sample because you intervened.

Did you order someone...

to make their presentation slides show up blank? No, right?

I talked to all of our factories not to give them their sample,

but they still won first place.

Find out which factory made Kyung Jun's product sample.

You see, you can't control everyone in the company.

I think it's a relief.

- What? - If...

Kyung Jun and I must compete,

I want to compete fair and square with my skills alone.

Mom, you don't need to meddle in everything he does.

Do you still think I'm not good enough?

Do you not believe I'm competent enough?

It's not about your competence.

I'm not sure if you're mentally ready.

You're still struggling to move on...

because of something that happened five years ago.

You're such a softie. So how am I supposed to trust you?

Se Jun.

Once you get the chairman title,

I'll totally trust you.

Until that day, prove with your actions that you can do it. Okay?

All your hard work has paid off.

Congratulations on winning first place.

Director Jang.

Thank you. It's all thanks to your support.

Why are you here alone? Where is your partner?

You guys should celebrate together.

Oh, that's...

Right, my team is going out together for a team dinner.

Ms. Kim said we should wait for you so you could join us too.

Wait, Ms. Lee.

Well, I've got a proposition for you.

For me? What is it?

Would you be my bamboo grove?

You mean, the bamboo grove in "The King Has Donkey Ears?"

In turn, I'll do the same for you.

We'll be each other's bamboo grove.

Well, forget our titles, ages, and seniority levels.

Let's be friends.

You're a third-generation heir to the company.

It's not easy to befriend you.

That's why I'm making this proposition.

No one wants to be my friend.

Let's come up with code words...

and meet here when we're stressed or frustrated from time to time.

What do you say?

I guess you're frustrated with a lot of things.

You can't even sleep well.

Thanks to you, I can recite the multiplication tables better.

Being a third-generation heir is very stressful, you see.

So you'll be my bamboo grove, right?

Oh, being friends with me...

won't affect your performance review in any way.

Just think that you're donating your talent.

I want to be brave and strong, just like you.

It's about time you nodded.

(Food Product Development Team)

Ms. Im and Mr. Heo already left. They'll meet us there.

We should get going too. I'll tell you on the way.

- Tell me what? - Earlier, I told you...

there was something you should know about Yeong I.

You must be curious.

No, I'm not.

If it's about Ms. Lee, why are you stepping in to reveal it?

I'm more curious about that.

She seemed quite flustered earlier.

We don't need to put her in a pickle, do we?

She'll tell me herself if it's something I should know.

Right.

I should've been more thoughtful.

I just thought not keeping secrets...

would help the team become closer.

Don't get me wrong.

There you are. Let's get going.

Yes, Director Jang.

Well done! Congratulations, Kyung Jun.

Thank you. Hey, have you seen Ms. Lee?

Oh, she's outside.

Really? She's always on the move.

My goodness. I didn't expect he'd win first place.

It's because you gave him pointers before the presentation. Thanks.

No problem. Of course, I should help him as his mother.

You're back.

- Where is Father? - He's in his room.

Wait.

He wishes to speak to Ms. Cha in private.

Just her?

Father, I'm coming in.

Sure.

Did you want to speak to me about something? Please go ahead.

Don't you have...

something to say to me, High Heels?

This sly, old weasel.

Please forgive me.

Forgive you?

If you're saying that, it means you did something wrong.

Okay, what did you do?

I only found out today that Kyung Jun's product sample...

didn't get made.

As his mother, I should've checked more thoroughly.

I trusted that he'd get it sorted out...

and just watched as the vice president of the company.

So she'll keep on lying to me?

Why is that your fault?

How could you have known that someone would...

deliberately blindside him like that?

It means that someone in the company...

is trying to keep Kyung Jun in check.

I may...

return to the company...

to get rid of them. That's what I'm thinking now.

Father.

Lower your voice.

Your father-in-law isn't deaf.

And my eyes are still fine too.

I can see and hear everything.

I'll take better care of Kyung Jun...

so you wouldn't have to worry, Father.

Then I'd be grateful.

I believe you'll handle things wisely.

What did Father say?

Why did he want to talk to you in private?

It was...

It was about Se Jun.

He asked me about Se Jun's health.

He said Se Jun had been cranky.

I'm going to tell him to take a few days off.

He never uses his vacation days.

He doesn't have time to go on vacation right now.

Will you take responsibility if he ruins his health?

Let him get some rest.

Just because I surprised him a little,

Father called me to his room and warned me.

Calm down, Father.

I'm only getting started now.

Ms. Im, did you know?

No, I don't want to know.

Come on. I didn't even say it yet.

This is huge.

Ms. Kim and Kyung Jun...

are going out.

On what grounds are you making such an assumption?

I saw it with my own two eyes.

Lend me your ear.

On my way home, I realized I had left my wallet in the office,

so I went back.

Are you sure that the two of you are in a relationship?

It doesn't seem...

Who are you to be the judge of that?

I even visited Kyung Jun's parents to introduce myself to them.

This is your final warning.

Behave yourself properly, will you?

Ms. Kim told Yeong I to behave herself properly...

and said she had even met Kyung Jun's parents.

It probably means they're engaged and are getting married soon.

- Oh. Hello, Director Jang. - Hello, you made it.

Hello. Why didn't you order some drinks first?

Ms. Kim, we're here.

Sorry, we kept you waiting long.

It's okay.

Today is a happy day, so order everything you want.

It's on me.

We'll have a barbecue feast thanks to our interns.

Here, Ms. Lee.

What do you feel like?

I'll have what everyone is having.

Come on. Director Jang said he'd treat us today.

This doesn't happen every day, you know.

Here.

Yes. Pick something, Yeong I.

Don't worry about us.

Okay, Ms. Kim.

That was a good meal, ma'am.

It's cold outside. Get back safely.

- Will do. - Thank you.

Thank you. See you again!

(So Bok Hee's Tasty Beef Bone Soup)

Will Yeong I be home late, after her team dinner?

Yes. She stayed up late and worked very hard on it.

I'm so happy for her.

What about Do Sik?

Since he's decided to move back in,

I told him to come home as soon as he finished packing.

Okay, good.

- Wait, Mother. - Yes.

What did you say to Eun Sook?

What? She didn't tell you?

That's very unlike her.

If she's not even telling me,

it means her feelings were really hurt.

Goodness.

I think of her as my child too.

Of course, I'd never say anything that would harm her.

She has you wrapped around her little finger.

What on earth happened to you...

that you always bend over backward for your wife?

Goodness, you fool.

Well...

What did you say to her?

I need to know what you said to comfort her.

Goodness gracious.

I told her to stop using her late son as an excuse for everything.

I feel so bad for her that she still can't let Do Jin go.

Mother.

That's out of line. Why did you have to say that?

To parents like us,

nothing hurts more than hearing stuff like that, Mother.

Why are you back already?

Where's Mother?

Give it back. I'm not done yet.

Gosh.

What's this about? I can't breathe.

You see, no one knows what it's like.

But...

I know, honey.

It's hard.

I want to let it all go too,

but it's hard.

Eat up. The meat will burn.

My gosh. Yeong I, did you work at a barbecue restaurant in the past?

You look like a pro.

That's enough. You should eat too, Ms. Lee.

Leave her be. She wants to show her gratitude to her teammates.

It'd be rude to turn down such a kind gesture.

Ms. Kim is right. I got this.

Yeong I, you look like you do a lot of housework.

- Sorry? - Doing this wearing that apron...

How should I put this?

It looks so natural as if you're very used to it.

You look like...

a mother trying to take care of her child.

She's quick, you know.

She picked up computer skills so quickly.

That's right. Your computer skills have improved so much.

Did you take classes?

Oh, a close friend of mine taught me.

I learned after work whenever I had time.

A close guy friend?

Are you talking about Mr. Kang Eun Ho?

- Yes. - How did you know?

I see. Kyung Jun and I saw him giving her a ride to work.

But...

you two seemed like you were more than friends.

He even opened the door for you.

Maybe he has feelings for you.

Then he would've told me long ago.

We don't have that kind of relationship, Ms. Kim.

Never underestimate the power of women's intuition.

What do you think, Mr. Heo?

Well, they say that men and women can't be just friends.

Ms. Kim, you seem very interested in Ms. Lee.

Right.

I'm very fond of her.

Every day and night, even on weekends,

she was always glued to Kyung Jun...

as she was solely focusing on work. It was nice to see.

You should eat.

Stop staring so intensely.

Sorry?

Let me pour you one, Ms. Kim.

Oh, sure.

How will you move everything?

Shall I help you with my car?

I hired movers.

Did you finish packing?

I just need to pack my books now. Oh, I should order a bookcase.

You'll take all of them?

Why? You don't read them anyway.

The elders in the family think that he's studying very hard.

Do Sik, are you having a hard time focusing on your studies?

Yes, it's...

I have a lot on my mind.

Uncle Eun Ho, Uncle Do Sik will become a doctor, just like you.

Really? How did you know, Mi Ri Nae?

Grandma said he'd become a doctor no matter what.

I see.

Ms. Lee!

Are you sure you were a taekwondo player?

Not a runner?

My gosh, I almost lost you.

I thought you went home.

Give me your hand.

What? My hand? Why?

You grilled meat for six people, all by yourself.

Gosh, look at this. You got a burn.

If you leave it untreated, it'll hurt a lot in the morning.

Does it hurt?

There, it's done.

Let's go grab another drink. Just us.

It's on me.

Maybe another time.

My friends are throwing a party for me. They're waiting for me now.

That's great.

Let me tag along.

What? Why would you tag along?

Gosh, you're really hurting my feelings here.

You're talking as if you won the competition all by yourself.

We did it together, you see.

I know that,

but why would you come with me? I'm meeting my friends.

It'd look strange.

We worked hard together.

I really want to celebrate with you,

but you have to meet up with your friends.

So I'll just tag along.

I'll call a driver so we can take my car.

Come with me.

- How could you leave - My gosh!

- Your love behind and abandon me? - Hae Mi! Sober up.

- I hate you - Hae Mi!

Oh, hello.

Ms. Kim and I work together.

We had a team dinner, and she got quite drunk.

I'm dropping her off.

I see.

- Hae Mi. - My gosh.

Did something happen at work?

- I'm dizzy. - Pardon me? Why?

Hae Mi rarely drinks.

She says alcohol makes her head feel heavy and rarely drinks.

I've never seen her this drunk.

Honey, take her to her room. Hurry.

- Okay. - Go inside.

- My gosh. - My head hurts.

He looks like he comes from a wealthy family.

Is he Kyung Jun?

By any chance, is your name Jang Kyung Jun?

No, I'm the director.

I see.

- I'll be off, then. - Okay.

All right.

Bye.

Get home safely!

He's "Director?"

Did he leave? Who is he?

No idea. He said his name was "Director."

"Director?"

That means he is Hae Mi's boss.

Oh, Yeong I is here.

- Hey, quick. The firecrackers. - Yes, here.

- Here we go. Ready? - Yes.

In 1, 2, 3.

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

Gosh, you scared me.

Who are you?

Oh, this is...

We meet again, Mr. Jang Kyung Jun.

Wait.

What was your name again?

Sorry, I didn't think we'd meet again.

I'm Kang Eun Ho.

You don't need to remember my name.

Just remember that Yeong I and I are close friends.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

(Versailles)

(Spicy Stir-fried Pork, Braised Silver Pomfret)

This is nice.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Jang.

I was curious about you.

Did Ms. Lee tell you about me?

Well, I didn't know your name.

Right, I also didn't know you worked together at the convenience store.

My brother is discreet, so I'm not surprised he didn't say anything.

But you, Yeong I. Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't tell you?

Back then, I didn't know we'd meet again like this.

I guess you and my dear Yeong I have become closer now that...

you work in the same office.

"My dear Yeong I?"

Seeing how she let you tag along and join us.

Yes, we're very close now.

Ms. Lee is very friendly and nice to me.

Right, she's friendly to everyone.

Although it'll be hard to develop a special relationship like ours.

We've been super close since we were little.

How old were we?

Must you ask? Yeong I and I met when we were seven.

Right, age seven.

The length of time doesn't determine the depth of your relationship.

Oh, I've been here before with Ms. Lee.

I really like the noodles here.

What do you say? Would you like some?

No, I'm good. Order some for yourself.

I'm sick of it.

We grew up eating those noodles.

For 20 years.

Is that so?

What are you two doing right now? Are you a comedy duo or something?

Gosh, you're too chatty.

We're here to celebrate.

Stop talking. Let's drink.

Here, let me.

Cheers.

- Here. - Oh, thanks.

Yeong I, don't drink too much.

You have to take care of yourself.

I'm okay.

Can you drink quite a bit?

My brother can drink.

So can I,

but I try not to drink a lot unless there's a special occasion.

Too much of anything is bad for you.

Right.

So shall I pour you one or not?

Eun Jin, forget it.

People who say stuff like that are usually lightweights.

Pour me one.

All the way to the top.

Nice, I like that attitude. Let's drink.

But I don't care if you crawl or have to roll yourself home, okay?

Pour me one too.

If I get dead drunk, you and Eun Ho will take me home.

I can take you home too.

Don't worry. Drink up.

All right, Yeong I. Congratulations.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulations.

- This is so nice. - I'm really happy right now.

(Garbage and Recycling Guidelines)

(General Waste)

Who knew I'd have so much garbage to throw out after packing?

Yeong I?

What? She is my sister-in-law.

Hey, Yeong I.

(The Love in Your Eyes)

I heard you guys had more drinks after dinner.

Kyung Jun fell asleep in his car.

He came home in the morning.

Confidence?

Even if she spends more time with him,

do you think she'll still choose you?

Yeong I should make a choice that can make her happier.

I want you...

to feel comfortable around me.
