(Episode 4)
I'm sorry you had to go through all this because of me.
Weren't you supposed to go to Joon Soo's workshop today?
How did you know that?
I had lunch with him today.
I just decided not to.
Oh, really?
Aren't you hungry?
That just made me realise I'm hungry.
I'll fix you a meal. Just wait a moment.
(Beetle Furniture Workshop)
Someone left behind their umbrella.
Hello, I saw you at the workshop.
Oh, hello.
I'll give you a ride. It's pouring.
No, it's fine.
I can take a cab.
Please. I can give you a ride to the closest subway station.
I appreciate it.
Wow. It looks tasty.
You really made me a meal.
Here, you can take a bite.
Thank you for the meal.
Please enjoy.
By the way, why did you visit my office?
Shim?
Why did you come to my office?
I was curious about what kind of person you were.
That just sounded very weird.
But that's not what I meant.
How weird.
Literally, I wanted to get to know you.
No, this isn't right, either.
I wanted to investigate you. This isn't right, either.
It doesn't mean anything. Really.
I was curious about you ever since we first met.
What?
How weird.
That's not what I meant. You know, right?
Actually,
what I meant by that is that...
I wanted to get to know you.
No, it's more like I wanted to investigate you.
You know what I mean. When little kids...
see something new, they get curious.
Why are a frog's hind legs longer than their forelegs?
Why does the sun rise from the east and set to the west?
That kind of curiosity.
When exactly are talking about?
What? What do you mean?
You said you were curious of me from the first time.
Your appearance itself arouses one's curiosity.
Especially with your hair like that.
You already knew that it was a wig.
What were you curious about?
Why did she become so smart all of a sudden?
I really didn't want to say all this,
but I'm telling you since you keep asking.
I was really curious about...
what was inside your head.
I'm not talking about your hair, but your head.
I mean, literally your brain that's inside your head.
What kind of woman gets drunk and sleeps at a strangers house?
You also tried to tear my hair out just because...
I took some leaves off your plants.
And you also wore a plastic bag over your head...
and laughed...
in a pile of garbage.
That's why I was curious.
So you're saying that...
I'm full of nonsense, right?
We're eating. You made me lose my appetite.
Listening to your stories...
made me lose my appetite, too.
I'm leaving.
That's not what I meant.
I lost my appetite, too.
Are you cold?
No, I'm okay.
I didn't realise that you would be cold from getting wet.
I should have turned on the heater.
It'll be too warm for you.
You don't have to turn it on for me.
There's a subway station just two blocks from here.
It's only for a little while anyway.
There aren't that may women in our class.
Are you interested in woodwork?
I like wood that's used in furniture.
I like the scent of it, and I also like the texture.
I want to make a table out of white ash or maple.
That's why I signed up.
I also like both kinds,
but they're very sturdy.
You'll likely start with a softer type of wood when you start.
I see.
How long has it been since you started taking classes?
It's been about a year.
It's hard to make the time when work gets busy,
but I feel so good after taking classes.
I thought about joining a few times,
but I didn't get to because of work.
But I just went for it this time.
Is your work nearby?
Yes. It's not far from here.
About your office...
Why is it called Guleum?
Does it have the same meaning as a fertiliser?
Are you saying you'll become a precious part of society?
Here she goes again.
That's spelt differently.
It's Guleum. Think about how it's spelt.
You're right.
My head really must be full of nothing.
The speed that we're walking right now...
is andante in music.
I see. Ahn Dan Tae.
Is that why your firm is called "walking" in Korean?
When you were fighting with those gagsters earlier...
Did you fight a lot when you were in school?
- You were really good. - I'm not good at fighting.
I'm just good at dodging, and I hit them before they do.
Isn't that good at fighting?
I shouldn't be telling people my secret.
Can you promise to keep my secret?
Go ahead.
Come on.
Okay.
I'll tell you.
Try hitting my face.
Why?
Just do it. I won't get hit anyway.
What? That's really cool.
How did you do that?
I see. This is why you're good at fighting.
How did you do it?
My secret is that I can see things moving fast in slow motion.
It's called dynamic visual acuity.
I'm more developed than most people.
I see.
I don't think you get it.
Dynamic visual acuity. Okay?
Why are you getting mad?
Gosh.
I remember it clearly.
I started to have weird dreams when I was 15 years old.
It's a dream where a 4 or 5-year-old boy is in it.
A big truck comes towards his way.
The boy tries to run away,
but he's stuck and he can't move.
Then, the boy suddenly sees the fast truck moving slower,
and he's able to dodge it.
Ever since I had that dream,
I keep dreaming of the same thing.
And things moving fast started to look slow to me.
It's really strange that you can see things slowly...
and also that you're dreaming the same dream.
The thing is,
I still don't know who that boy is.
Why did you hit me?
Why didn't you dodge?
How can I dodge that?
You have to hit me when I'm looking.
Why are you yelling at me?
You're the one who told me to hit you.
You're supposed to hit when I'm looking.
That's the only way I can dodge.
People don't only hit you when you're looking.
Come here.
I think I'll move out tomorrow. My aunt found me a place.
That's good.
It's good since I make you lose your appetite, right?
Isn't it good because you get to live with your dad?
Yes.
I'm happy I get to live with him.
Look at the time.
Why? Is something going on?
It's time for the "King Lunchbox" to get delivered.
They'll be all gone if I'm late.
Welcome.
Goo Nam?
What are you doing here?
Working, what else?
Here?
Your house is an hour from here.
It's because of you.
I mean,
I got close with the owner here thanks to you.
He allowed me to choose the hours I want.
That's great.
Whenever you get these delivered, save one for me.
Okay.
Here's my card.
Shim.
You have a sister, right?
I was wondering why you didn't ask. All men are the same.
- What about her? - That's not it.
Why does she have two rooms...
while you're kicked out to the...
There she is.
Mi.
How do you do?
I'll be going.
What are you doing here?
Why are you coming out with him?
I have my reasons.
What reasons?
Come on. It's nothing.
I thought you were going shopping with Mum today.
Where did you go? You came home late.
Well the thing is,
a friend of mine is moving abroad.
We had dinner together.
Did you know Director Seok Joon Soo...
before you got hired?
I told you, I can't tell you anything about him.
Fine. Good for you.
This is rare.
You never ask me questions.
Don't hang out with that guy from our rooftop.
If you walk around with our tenant so late at night,
what would our neighbours think?
What is this?
I got scratched.
Are you dating him?
Are you crazy?
Why would...
Stop talking nonsense.
It seems like you really are from the way you're acting.
Stop it.
He's moving out tomorrow anyway.
I won't ever see him again, so stop talking nonsense.
It's more suspicious that he's moving out so suddenly.
Watch how you act, and don't disgrace me.
Look who's talking.
You shouldn't tell me to go find your stamp when I'm working.
I'm busy, too.
You're not the only one working.
Hey.
I have important contracts to sign.
Your job is to run errands anyway.
What's so bad about running an errand for me?
Do you know what I lost because of you?
If you don't know, just don't say anything.
What did you lose?
Forget it.
You're annoying me. Let's stop.
- I'm going to sleep. Get out. - What did you lose?
Forget it!
Ouch.
I'm sorry, little one.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
The flight for Incheon has arrived.
There she is.
- Mum. - Mother.
- Over here. - Mum.
Joon Soo.
Yes, come here.
My grandson.
Mother, we're here, too.
My daughter-in-law.
Did you miss me?
Of course. I missed you so much.
- Gosh. - How was the flight?
I just closed my eyes in Hong Kong, and then I was already here.
Mum, didn't you miss me?
You're disgusting. Go away.
I know I'm your favourite.
My cute son. How are you?
Ma'am, someone left this in your mailbox.
What is it?
Seok Joon Pyo?
Wait.
Joon Pyo.
This is the necklace I got you.
Joon Pyo.
Hello?
Did you get Joon Pyo's necklace?
Don't ask me any questions and just listen.
Okay.
If you saw the necklace,
you must believe me.
- I have something to say to you. - Okay.
Please, meet with me.
Don't call the police.
I won't do that.
This old lady will go out herself.
Don't worry, and please meet with me.
How is Joon Pyo?
Come to Hanwoori Park by 2pm tomorrow,
and hold onto the envelope.
Hello?
Joon Pyo.
Joon Pyo, my dear Joon Pyo.
Joon Pyo.
That smells good.
Did you bake cookies?
It's for the office.
She won't let us touch it. I want one.
Shim's cookies are the best.
When she had a crush on her gym teacher,
she used to bake all the time.
Does that mean there's another gym teacher at the office?
What's wrong with you guys?
It's for when I don't have time to go out for food.
It doesn't stink up the place.
Like a wet leaf from the mist
Her bobbed hair is brushed softly
Her shiny eyes
- Come alive in my heart - Hello.
When I get lonely
Hey.
It's bobbed hair girl.
Excuse me.
You scared me.
What is that?
It's rude of you to be so surprised after looking at me.
- Is it that weird? - It's extremely weird, but it's...
more weird for you to not know and ask me if it's weird.
You're so mean.
Why are you doing your makeup here?
My sister was being a...
Forget it, it's nothing.
Wait.
Are you going out like that?
You shouldn't do that. You'll scare people.
You're so annoying.
What is it?
Do you know why they call a face a mug?
Because some people are so ugly that they can't be called a face.
My goodness.
You're really the champion of making people feel bad.
Do you really have to annoy me this early?
Who are you dressing up for...
to try and impress at work?
Seriously.
Don't follow me.
Stop joking around. Just stop.
I wonder who you want to impress at work.
Seriously, just stop.
Am I wrong?
Is there any other reason for you to look so pretty?
I took off my fake lashes and everything.
In what way did I dress up?
Not dressing up...
looks the best on you.
I'll rip your hair out if I get any more annoyed.
Don't follow me. I'm serious.
I'm not following you. I'm just going this way.
Hey.
Come on, it's my last day.
Shouldn't we have a goodbye party?
We got along as neighbours.
Just be thankful you're able to walk out on your two feet.
Let's barbecue some sausages on the rooftop.
I don't like sausages.
Earn lots of money.
He's so weird.
What's wrong with him?
Joon Pyo.
Mum, aren't the flowers nice?
They're so beautiful. They really are.
Mother, let's take a walk together later.
Yes, let's do that.
Thank you, Joon Soo.
He's all grown up, isn't he?
Hey, Soon Cheon.
It's so nice to see you.
It's been so long.
How have you been?
My goodness.
Gosh. what was that?
I'm certain that they knew each other before Shim got her job.
How do I look?
Isn't it nice?
I don't look like I live in a monthly rental house, do I?
Money really is nice.
When I was young, I thought money was the best,
but now that I'm older, I really do think money is the best.
Gong Mi.
You canceled your appointment with me yesterday,
so I went to the department store and bought this with your card.
I know. I get a text message whenever you use my credit card.
Don't you think it's too expensive, though?
It's not like I'm rich, you know.
Do you think I bought this for my own good?
It's all for you.
Didn't you buy that dress for you?
I should attend the Miso reunion again.
The Miso Metropolitan Beauty Contest prize winners' reunion?
The beauty contest where you won the first prize?
There were others who came in second and third place.
But they all got married to wealthy people.
They'd know of people who'd be suitable for our Gong Mi.
Well why didn't you attend the reunion earlier?
I couldn't because I was embarrassed of you failing your business.
My goodness.
But...
if I can find a suitable man for my Gong Mi,
embarrassment is nothing.
- See you. - Gong Mi, wait.
There's a man I have in mind for you. He's really nice.
You must get him.
He's handsome and capable, just like what you wanted.
You can get both money and fame. He's someone you can be proud of.
Once you marry him, no one will make you feel small.
His family owns a town hospital.
He is a doctor, too.
You guys.
From now on,
don't mention anything about blind dates to me.
Wasn't this your favourite subject?
Are you seeing someone?
You shouldn't date just any man.
- You'll become like me. - You'll meet someone like me.
Don't you know me yet?
Why do you worry about such a thing?
Do you think I'll be satisfied with a guy working at a town hospital?
Pull it up.
This is so nice.
I must be a genius.
I caught something big.
Gosh.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
It was my fault. I'm sorry.
Did I break your cell phone screen?
It's fine.
Is the phone screen all you care about?
Pardon?
Of course, you must be upset about getting hit on the head.
- My apologies. - Why do you live like this?
Aren't you ashamed?
But then, you wouldn't live like this if you were ashamed.
I can pay for your cell phone if it is broken.
Whatever.
I won't ask a person who has to pay...
a monthly rent of 250 dollars for money.
You'll probably call me and bother me anyway.
You're going too far.
You don't need to pay for anything.
Because you're a lawyer, you should already know that...
I'm allowed to do this.
My bananas...
What a relief.
The inside is okay.
(The secretary's role)
Because Joon Soo likes you so much, we will approve your relationship.
Mum. Dad.
Secretary Gong.
Yes, Sir.
That's not right. You should call me your father-in-law.
How can I...
Okay.
Father-in-law.
Well done.
You're really cute.
You're cute like a doll.
Father-in-law.
Joon Soo.
- Excuse me. - Goodness.
I made it.
You're late.
Father.
What?
Father?
I came in late because my father was ill.
My apologies.
If I come here earlier than you once more,
you'll find yourself in big trouble.
Understood, Sir.
Why do you sigh so deeply?
Hello, Director Seok.
Is something bothering you?
You sighed so deeply.
It's nothing.
Excuse me, Director.
Can you spare me a minute for a short conversation?
Yes, I can.
I'm sorry to ask you this,
but about the photograph that Ahn Dan Tae sent you by mistake...
Photograph?
Do you mean this?
It'd be great if you could delete it for me.
What would I get if...
I delete this photo?
If you like cookies,
I'll give you a tasty cookie.
Okay.
Deleted.
It's done.
Please show it to me.
You didn't delete it, did you?
Show me.
Please.
Please delete it. Why are you doing this?
- Please give it to me. - I don't want to.
Please.
Please delete the photo, Sir.
Okay.
Look.
(Delete)
Satisfied?
I'd like to ask you for one more favour.
You told me that I was your friend last time.
But I want you to treat me as a junior employee...
in a businesslike manner.
If you don't, it puts me in an awkward position.
All right.
I guess I wasn't considerate enough.
Thank you for your understanding.
I shall leave now.
Gong Shim.
What will you eat for lunch today?
I'll eat tonkatsu at the office cafeteria.
Go to the restaurant in front of our company and eat kongguksu.
This is an order.
Eat kongguksu,
and send me a picture to prove that you ate it.
If you eat anything else, I'll fire you.
"I'll fire you."
He'll fire me.
Oh, no!
It looks expensive. What should I do?
Where did he go?
He said he would be in his office.
By the way,
there is a rumour that you're too close with Ms Gong.
Is that true?
You should know that I have ears, too.
Look at you. You're getting all worried again.
It's nothing like that, so don't worry.
Do you know how much attention you receive at this company?
You're the future CEO of this group.
You shouldn't be chit-chatting with a secretary like that.
What would people think of you?
I'm sorry, Mum.
My goodness.
You're way too nice to everyone.
That's why girls with no class try to flirt with you.
Why? Am I wrong?
No.
Your words are always right.
Please stop being so nice to people just because you pity them.
All right?
Okay, I get it. I understand.
Hey.
Your dad is in the lobby. Let's go.
Okay.
(Chun Sung Mi)
Come on.
Are you saying that...
you're going to tell everything to Dan Tae?
What are you trying to do?
Why?
What's the point of meeting his family now?
And what about my poor sister who's watching from above?
- Ji Won, please. - And what about us?
How are we going to face Dan Tae afterwards?
Ji Won.
I won't be able to live much longer.
I have a brain tumour. I only have three months.
Maybe six months, if I'm lucky.
There's not enough time.
I want to make a confession before it's too late.
So are you saying that...
you're going to go inside and meet Dan Tae so that...
you can tell him everything?
Come on.
I've made so many mistakes.
Let me see him.
No, don't do that. Please.
As long as I'm alive, I can't let that happen.
If you say so,
let me at least meet Joon Pyo's family.
No, don't!
Just leave it.
Just leave everything as it is.
Ji Won, please don't do this.
I have to confess my sins before I die.
My goodness. Wake up.
Wake up!
Mum.
I guess Dad decided not to come.
(Chun Sung Mi)
I guess he's still mad at me.
I wouldn't forgive myself if I were him, either.
I'm so sorry.
I'll come back next time.
- I'm home. - Hey.
Hey, you're home early.
- Yes. - Did you eat dinner?
I came home to change. I have to go somewhere right away.
I guess Shim decided to stop liking the mysterious man at work.
She just brought it back home.
I'm too lazy to fix dinner. Let's just eat coffee and cookies.
Mum, I'll take these for my late-night snack at work.
My goodness. I can't believe her.
Thank you.
A beautiful woman like her...
livens up the whole atmosphere here.
Don't you think so?
Here you go.
- Thank you. - No problem.
You're way too nice to everyone.
That's why girls with no class try to flirt with you.
Why? Am I wrong?
No.
Your words are always right.
Please stop being so nice to people just because you pity them.
He took my belongings, too.
What should I do?
These are yours, right?
Yes. You can just leave them here.
I think I need a car to move them tomorrow.
Do you think so?
I thought he found a new place to live.
He did find a new place.
But his father...
didn't come to see him.
I see.
He didn't want to live in the new place alone.
That's why his stuff is all here.
Yes.
I'm happy I get to live with him.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I saw you on my way home.
Why are you drinking alone?
I don't know.
Don't get drunk again.
I don't feel like playing hide-and-seek today.
I won't get drunk. I promise.
By the way, you could've just gone home.
What made you stop by?
I didn't see you.
I felt like drinking, too.
It could've been better if you just went home.
What if you feel worse while keeping me company?
Life is like that anyway.
Well I still hope good things will happen to you.
Stopping by here...
won't change my life much anyway.
You're right.
Are you moving back to the rooftop today?
Well...
I decided not to.
Why not?
You always wanted to live there again.
You complained about your sister taking two rooms at home.
I can't afford it.
I need the 250 dollars.
I'm going to put it up for rent.
I'm worried about living with my dad. It won't be much fun.
I'm already so used to living by myself.
By the way, why did you...
put fake eyelashes on this morning?
I know it looked weird.
Then why did you put them on?
My sister took after my mum a lot.
So she has big eyes...
and fine features.
She is beautiful.
But I look like my dad.
So I have saggy eyes...
and poor features.
You think your sister's pretty?
Yes.
To me, she is the prettiest woman in the world.
To me, the prettiest woman in the world...
is you.
Okay, fine. I'll pay for the drinks.
What are you doing?
You're so cute.
What's wrong with you?
Ahn Dan Tae!
Dan Tae, are you okay?
What? You had seven bottles?
You're out of your mind.
Dan Tae.
Wake up, Dan Tae.
Ahn Dan Tae!
Dan Tae.
Please, wake up.
Oh, dear.
Ahn Dan Tae.
Please, wake up.
You're killing me.
Please.
Dan Tae.
I can't walk any more.
My back hurts.
It hurts.
But...
it hurts less than what I felt earlier today.
Director Seok Joon Soo broke my heart.
He was being nice to me out of pity.
I should've noticed that earlier.
What a fool.
I'm so stupid.
Wake up, Ahn Dan Tae.
You should go home. Can you hear me?
Wake up.
Stand up.
Come on.
Okay, you're all set.
Hello.
If there's a signed contract already,
there must be a reasonable cause to make the cancellation valid.
So I think the contract should be carried out.
Lawyer Gong Mi. What do you think?
I have a different opinion.
Refusal of succession can be filed after the successor passes away.
And that's when it becomes valid.
That's why...
- She was a lawyer. - a simple note on...
the refusal of succession won't do much.
In my opinion, it's not valid.
Joon Pyo, you should get going now.
I'm coming.
This...
came from the court.
What?
(Declaration of Disappearance)
A declaration of disappearance?
Seok Joon Pyo is now officially a missing person?
What is this?
Tell me. What in the world is this?
This is equivalent to a death sentence.
Who did this?
Who reported this to the court?
Did you do this?
Did you report this?
Tell me. Do you think...
you have any right to do this?
Mother, please.
Please calm down. Let me explain.
Shut it!
Cancel this report.
Shame on you.
Take care of this right away.
Please think about Joon Soo's father, too.
He is the president of the company. But he doesn't even have...
- his own stock share. - Exactly.
The fact that the shares are still under your...
grandson's name who has been missing for 26 years is absurd.
Is that what you think? Thanks for mentioning that.
That's why you reported this to the court, didn't you?
To make sure Joon Pyo is dead and to save your lives instead.
That's not what I meant. You need to forget about...
Shut your mouth.
Shame on you.
Shame on you!
- Soon Cheon. - I don't want to talk to you.
You people are so greedy.
Do you think things will go the way you want it to? Never.
My goodness. They didn't do anything wrong.
From my perspective, I think they've treated you...
with respect and sincerity like their own parent.
They're taking good care of you.
What are you talking about?
Did I ever ask for that?
I don't need anything from any of you, so just get out of here.
I gave birth to my own kid and...
let you have him as your legal child.
You should appreciate that.
Legally speaking, Dae Hwang is your son.
You should treat him like one.
You've never been nice to him.
You were always so cold. How good were you?
But even then, the kids still decided to take care of you.
I'm going to cancel this.
And I will never forgive you all.
Come on.
I made them do that.
What were you talking about before?
The shares of the company.
Yes. Split the shares for them, too!
Look.
Do you really not remember anything...
from last night?
I don't.
You don't remember doing this to me?
Sorry, I can't remember. It hurts.
Drink as much as you can handle.
Who drinks that much?
You're ridiculous.
You begged me to let you move back into the rooftop.
And you asked me to call the moving truck for you.
That's why I'm helping you.
I see. I'm so sorry, Gong Shim.
You really don't remember doing this?
I really don't. I'm sorry!
I need to go to work.
I called my office that I'm going to be late because of this.
I got scolded.
I'm sorry.
I'm leaving.
Hope you earn a lot of money.
(Joon Soo's grandmother)
Yes, Ma'am. It's Dan Tae. How have you been?
Hello? Ma'am?
You should speak if you made a call.
Oh, are you calling to ask for the repairing cost...
for your car that I scratched the other day?
Come to the company, right now.
Right now?
Would you like to go somewhere?
Just hurry up and come.
Sure. Okay, I will.
I'll be there right now. I'll be super fast.
Okay. All right. See you soon.
Joon Pyo.
(Seok Joon Pyo)
(Declaration of Disappearance)
So tell me. What does this mean?
It means that the court officially recognises that...
Seok Joon Pyo has gone missing.
In other words, it's similar to a doctor...
pronouncing someone's death at a hospital.
Can't we cancel it?
It can't be cancelled, Ma'am.
But instead, there is a way.
What is it?
The missing person must come back alive.
How cruel...
How cruel of them.
Ma'am, please calm down.
Dan Tae.
There's a place I'd like to go with you.
Get up.
Where are you going?
Come to Hanwoori Park by 2pm tomorrow,
and hold onto the envelope.
Listen.
What would Dan Tae think of his parents?
Let's just...
leave things as they are.
Dan Tae.
Yes, Ma'am.
Please do me a favour.
Sure, speak to me.
Please find my Joon Pyo.
Please find my Joon Pyo. Please.
(Beetle Furniture Workshop)
Hello.
Why weren't you at the workshop today?
Did you finish making the chair?
Not yet. It needs a few more touches.
By the way,
what are you doing here?
Actually, I waited for you...
here.
You waited for me?
The cookies that I brought yesterday were meant for you.
I was embarrassed to only give them to you.
That's why I decided to give them out to everybody.
I see.
So...
what I'm trying to say is that...
I'm curious of you.
Would you like to go out with me?
Well...
I don't know what to say.
If you don't want to, you can just say no.
Don't feel pressured.
Gong Shim. Are you going home?
Yes.
You look like an old person. What is the matter with you?
Gosh, you smell like pain relief patch.
It's all because of you.
I got sick because I had to carry someone who got drunk.
Okay, I get it. I'm sorry and I appreciate it.
But why do you keep showing up at my workplace?
Haven't you settled the trouble you caused?
Not yet.
Since I caused you trouble,
I'll treat you with some food to improve your health.
Let's go eat something tasty. Okay?
I'm fine.
Why not?
Joon Soo introduced me a restaurant and the food is great.
It's my treat today.
What's wrong? Let's go inside.
The restaurant looks nice,
but it seems too expensive.
Don't worry about the price and just invigorate your health.
It's okay. I'll just have to eat ramyeon for two months.
Am I supposed to eat or not?
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
You should eat.
Let's just go inside and worry about it later.
I think it's going to be really expensive.
Let's go in.
I'll park the car and follow you. You can go in first.
Okay.
