[Backstreet Rookie]
Saet-byul,
I would like to be
someone special to you, too.
Will you accept my red tulips?
Mr. Choi,
I'll answer that
later.
I'm not dreaming to become someone
as great as you are,
but I want to achieve something
on my own, too.
I'll answer you when I pass the GED.
Sure. You've waited for me all along,
so I'll wait for you this time.
Saet-byul, don't you ever feel
like you've achieved nothing.
You're responsible, loyal,
a great fighter
And you're diligent.
That's why the head office
is naming you as the assistant manager
of the store.
Saet-byul, you are already enough.
You're awesome.
Thank you, Mr. Choi.
It's nothing.
How did you prepare all of this?
It's beautiful here.
Did you prepare wine or anything?
What wine?
People usually drink wine
when they come to places like this.
-What wine?
-Maybe I've watched too many dramas.
You mean something like this?
Is this what you want?
You drink. I'll go and plant the tulips.
[You lost.]
-I lost again.
[-Freshen up!]
[Give it to me.]
Welcome.
Yong-pil.
Jang-mi, how did you get here?
I thought of how you said that you run
a convenience store in Shinseong-dong.
I also have to ask you a favor
before I go to China tomorrow.
What favor?
Don't you think it'd be possible
to find Boon-hee
if you look
into Busan alumni associations?
Boon-hee again?
You have to forget about her.
How can I?
Boon-hee is the person I missed the most
ever since leaving Korea.
Jang-mi, I really don't know
what Boon-hee is doing.
I haven't seen Gong Boon-hee for 40 years!
Dad!
Why are you saying that you don't know
You're here.
Is that your son, Yong-pil?
He's handsome.
Hello.
How do you know my dad?
We were friends in high school.
My name is Hong Jang-mi.
Hello.
♫ Alone in the audience ♫
Jang-mi, I love you.
Look at the time.
Jang-mi, come here.
I need to talk to my son about something
very important.
Is that so?
Yes. I'll call you right away
if I ever hear from Boon-hee,
so just wait for my call in China,
all right?
-I think I should stay until I meet
-Go.
Go! You can go now. Bye.
-Go.
-Fine.
Gosh.
Dad! I know she's your first love,
but how could you say
that you don't know Mom?
It's all a misunderstanding.
It's a long story.
Dad, no story can ever justify that. Ever!
Jang-mi used to be best friends
with Boon-hee,
but Boon-hee doesn't want to see her!
Why? Why wouldn't Mom want to see her?
Look.
I'm Boon-hee's first love,
I'm Boon-hee's first love,
[Boon-hee]
I'm Boon-hee's first love,
I'm Boon-hee's first love,
[First love, me]
[First love, me]
[First love, me]
while Jang-mi was mine.
while Jang-mi was mine.
while Jang-mi was mine.
[First love, Jang-mi]
[First love, Jang-mi]
[First love, Jang-mi]
Boon-hee and Jang-mi were friends.
Boon-hee and Jang-mi were friends.
Boon-hee and Jang-mi were friends.
[Best friends]
[Best friends]
[Best friends]
If you were Mom,
would you want to see Jang-mi?
If you were Mom,
would you want to see Jang-mi?
If you were Mom,
would you want to see Jang-mi?
[Jang-mi, Boon-hee]
If you were Mom,
would you want to see Jang-mi?
My goodness.
My best friend disappeared
without leaving a single letter.
You must miss her.
As if. That wench.
I already erased her from my head.
Is that the best friend who left
without leaving a single note
for Mrs. Gong?
Saet-byul, how do you know about her?
Mrs. Gong told me about her
and how she never wants to see her again.
See? I told you!
Don't you ever tell Mom
that Jang-mi is in Korea, okay?
Dad!
Take over my shift. My back hurts.
No, you can watch the store
the whole night.
Let's go, Saet-byul.
Mr. Choi, I think
I think you should tell her
Why is everyone always on Boon-hee's side?
What did I ever do wrong?
-Mom.
-We're home.
Hey.
Why are you two coming together?
What about the store?
Dad is going to watch it overnight.
He has been avoiding me lately.
Did he do something wrong?
No, nothing. What are you up to?
I heard that taking a foot bath is
the best thing to do to get
foot-swelling go away.
You could just buy a foot bath machine.
A foot bath machine? We're still paying
the installments for Dad's massage chair!
Foot baths easily cost 200,000 won.
We can't afford one.
Actually, I think what you've got is
quite decent. It even massages.
Massage? It doesn't.
Of course it does, Mom.
See? Give me your foot. Like this.
I'll massage your shoulders.
-What?
-You're so tense up here.
What a luxurious day I'm having today.
Is this my lucky day or something?
I couldn't decide on what to get you
with my first pay as an advisor,
but now I know. I'll get you a foot bath.
-Really?
-Yes. Some shoes as well.
No, you can't buy me shoes.
I might run away if you do.
I'll buy you shoes when I get my first pay
as the assistant manager.
What? You're going to be
an assistant manager?
I've handed the ownership of the store
to the headquarters.
They offered to promote Saet-byul
as the assistant manager.
Really? That happened?
That's amazing! That's great news.
Congratulations, Saet-byul.
-Thank you.
-That's awesome.
Goodness.
What a great man Mr. Choi is.
He's a perfect son.
And a perfect man.
I would like to be
someone special to you, too.
Will you accept my red tulips?
[I've been dreaming
about that moment forever.]
[Why couldn't I answer him right away?]
[I took]
[slow steps toward Mr. Choi,
one step at a time,]
[and I've reached my goal now.]
[So, why?]
[Why do I feel as scared about this
as I am happy about it?]
[Aren't you hungry? I'm going to have
some ramyeon.]
-Gosh, you startled me.
-Saet-byul.
I'll make you some good ramyeon.
Why are you two coming out from there
at the same time?
-I'm getting some water.
-I'm going to the bathroom.
I see.
[When Mom heads back to her room,]
[I'll make you some delicious ramyeon
with an egg on top.]
[Great. Make sure to pop the yolk.]
[Pop the yolk?
It's so much better when it's not popped.]
What are you two doing?
[Make the noodles chewy.]
What are you two doing?
-Are you two dancing?
-Yes.
-We're dancing.
-Yes.
Look at that. You got
the beautiful dance lines from me.
Saet-byul, when I was young,
I was quite the dancer.
♫ When will you and I meet ♫
Dance, Saet-byul!
♫ And make history ♫
I'm a great dancer myself.
Look at that.
Mrs. Gong, aren't you going to sleep?
I'm feeling perfectly rejuvenated
after that shoulder massage you gave me!
But you have work early morning tomorrow.
You should sleep.
Why? Are you two going to do something
after I sleep?
-We're going to sleep.
-We have to sleep, too.
-Of course you have to.
-Yes, we do.
You should go sleep.
I'm going to watch some more TV.
What? Okay, I'm going to bed now.
-Goodnight!
-Goodnight.
Goodnight! And come out if you get bored.
-Sure.
-♫ Love doesn't come easy ♫
♫ Not everyone can fall in love ♫
Hold up.
[We need to come up with signs.]
"Signs"?
[What signs?]
[Just to be safe.]
[What's your favorite fruit?]
[Grapes!]
[Grapes]
[Okay, then. From now on, "Grapes" mean
"Let's meet."]
[What?]
[And "Strawberry" means "No."
Is that okay?]
[Strawberry]
[What a kid you are.]
[These are our signs, okay?]
[Strawberry!]
[I'm going to go to sleep now.]
[Goodnight. Grapes tomorrow.]
Grapes.
He's so cute. Grapes!
Grapes! Goodnight.
Grapes? Grapes.
This is adorable!
[Franchise contract, GS Retail]
[Franchise contract, GS Retail]
This is the franchise contract.
Take a look.
[Franchise contract, GS Retail]
Mom, this part is about the opening date
of the store.
The hours of operation are stated
right here.
Here.
-Hold on.
-Okay.
Hey, Seong-tae.
What? The Jangchung-dong branch?
I'm
I'm busy with something.
All right, then.
Mom, I have to get going.
Something urgent came up.
-You're leaving?
-Yes.
I've looked over the contract,
and Director Yoo here will explain
the rest to you.
Don't worry, you can go.
Mrs. Gong and I will
take care of the rest.
Sorry about that.
Okay, then.
Assistant Manager Jung,
have a great shift.
See you later, Advisor Choi.
-I'll be back soon.
-Come back quick.
Grapes!
Grapes? What?
I was wondering
how Dae-hyun has been at work.
I hear that he has
a lot of responsibilities.
The head office has a lot of regrets.
We regret not recognizing
such a great man earlier.
You scared me.
My goodness!
I didn't know you could joke like that.
You scared me for a moment.
And this is for you.
Here.
Look at that!
My goodness.
Will you look at that?
Isn't this crocodile leather?
Do you like it?
Of course I do!
This costs 400,000 won at least, no?
You've spent quite a bit of money.
Or is it 500,000 won?
-No, it's
-Was it 300,000 won? Let's hear it.
You've spent so much money.
This bag must be so expensive.
It goes perfectly with my cardigan today.
-Do you like it?
-Are you kidding?
Seems like quite a few crocodiles went
into making this.
Saet-byul.
I wanted to thank you.
I forgot about how valuable
of a man Dae-hyun was,
and you reminded me of that.
Don't you think you realized that
a little too late?
We'll see about that.
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
See about what?
Hello?
Yes, I'm Jung Saet-byul.
Sorry? What did you just say?
[Perfect, Combo]
Yes!
-Move over.
-Who are they?
What was that?
5, 6, 7, 8.
[Perfect, Combo]
They're so good!
They're good!
Look at them.
I'm sorry I embarrassed you.
I'm sorry. It was all me.
Let's practice some more
and crush them into pieces.
Yes, let's!
Oh, my!
-Are you okay?
-There was a mosquito.
Sorry, it's my reflex.
-I think my jaw is dislocated.
-Fire Volcano,
there's a place that I really wanted
to go with you.
-Where is it?
-Give me your hand.
What do you think? It's fun, isn't it?
-Is this where you wanted to bring me to?
-Yes.
This is so fun. Here I go.
Welcome. Namaste.
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
Are you guys friends?
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
-You must be older, then.
-Namaste.
Namaste. Why is she getting mad at me?
The point isn't
how well you do this.
It's how you try your best.
Open up to each other. And let
your hearts communicate together.
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
All right. Start.
Come to think of it,
we don't know each other's name.
I'm Han Dal-sik.
I'm Hwang Geum-bi.
By the way, when will we make
our relationship official?
Today.
Geum-bi.
Please focus on yoga here. Namaste.
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
-All right. Turn.
- Go ahead.
Keep turning. Go ahead. Turn.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.

-Did they really catch him?
-Yes. We're good now.
-Did they really catch him?
-Yes. We're good now.
-Is everyone here?
-Yes.
First of all, congratulations.
We caught Kim Man-bok
of Manbok Real Estate.
Will we be able to get
all of our deposits back?
He didn't spend it all?
That's not what he did.
He made an investment
with some of the money in a con artist.
But the con artist tried
to take a bigger cut,
so he actually gave Man-bok back
his investment and the interest.
And that's when we caught him.
Anyway, you will get your deposits back
after going through the protocol.
-Please wait here.
-Thank you.
-Please wait here.
-Thank you.

At last! I won't have to live off
my friend anymore.
At last! I won't have to live off
my friend anymore.
I should move
out of my parents' house too.
Where did you stay, Unit 1006?
Me? I was staying at the convenience store
owner's house. I work for him.
I stayed with his family.
Gosh, it must have been
so uncomfortable for everyone.
No, no. Everyone was so nice to me
like I'm their family.
But still, you're a stranger to them.
They didn't show it,
but I bet it was uncomfortable for them.
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
I had to be careful at my parents' house.
They must have been
really patient with you.

[If you're not sure if you should
go for it, I say go for it.]
[If you're not sure if you should
go for it, I say go for it.]
[If you hesitate,
it will make you regret even more.]
"Regret even more"?
[Today's Horoscopes for Saet-byul]
Gosh, should I move out?
Gosh, should I not?
Should I just move out?
Go where?
-Why are you so startled?
-Mr. Choi.
Where would you go?
What is it? Where are you going?
Well, actually, you know
I
-I
-You
I
"You"? You
I want dumplings!
-Dumplings.
-I want dumplings.
You took a long time to say that to me.
You must want to eat
really good dumplings.
-Yes. I want huge dumplings.
-Huge dumplings.
Okay. Instead of dumplings,
I'll treat you to a really delicious meal.
-A delicious meal?
-Yes.
What is it?
[Ultimate Cheese Pockets]
-Dig in.
-Thank you for the food.
Mr. Bae Geun-sik will be
the manager of our branch.
-Mr. Huff-and-Puff?
-Yes, him.
If something is bothering you
or if he bullies you,
talk to me. I'll show him my teeth. Okay?
I feel reassured.
You're really in my corner.
Of course, I am.
-Really?
-Of course.
This is why I'm buying you
this delicious pizza.
Perhaps, getting her approval
might be harder than getting my dad's.
This feels like I'm standing right before
getting CBR training in Nonsan Bootcamp.
My gosh, no way!
Hey, did you fulfill your military duty?
Four weeks. It was only for a month.
That's so cool!
Get your spirit of a soldier
and charge forward!
Left foot, left foot, left foot
I can't go.
My soldier, trust me and follow me.
Saet-byul!
-What's happening?
-Saet-byul.
-Hey, what happened?
-What's going on?
Saet-byul.
Hey, why are you bullying her?
Let go of her.
Why are you hitting him?
Hey, what's wrong with you?
-Hey
-Dae-hyun!
What is that? What?
-What? Did the glue get in there?
-Why?
Something stronger is binding us.
What?Oh, the superglue?
-Gosh, you'll get hurt.
-You shouldn't play with that.
Bring me a bottle of acetone.
-Who did this?
-Hey.
-Hey.
-This is
-It's destiny.
-Who's Destiny?
-It's our destiny!
-It's our destiny!
The fan who always left
the first comment on my webtoon
wasn't a man who sounded like a woman.
It was Geum-bi.
Saet-byul, the superglue isn't
binding us together. Our great love is.
Like this.
My Dal-sik was the webtoon artist
of "Her Reggae Boy".
The moment we found out about each other,
this caveman became a romantic.
This scary horse became the sweetest girl.
Hey. Wait, then
Dal-sik, when did you make a girlfriend?
Dae-hyun, destiny can be
such a fascinating thing.
I guess we are all destined
to have our soulmate.
My gosh. Right.
I'm sure that's true. There's destiny.
Hey, what's going on
with you and Saet-byul?
Well, you know
You. Are you dating her behind my back?
That's not it.
Listen. Saet-byul likes you,
and you like her. What's the problem?
Right. That's true.
I get the feeling that
things will work out between you two.
Then, the four of us should have a party.
You can set up the party.
[Hey, this isn't right.]
If the company is taking over the store,
why would we clean up?
You know that I worked at a moving agency
before I got into insurance, right?
Some people clean up the house
because they lived there.
Some people leave behind a huge mess
because they wouldn't be living there.
Which one leaves a better impression?
The new manager
will clean it himself anyway.
We might not think the store isn't messy
because we see it all the time.
But a new manager is bound
to find some dirty corners.
We're handing over the store because
Dae-hyun became an executive.
If we just work a little bit,
it will make a good impression on him.
Dae-hyun, are you going to work?
Come on, say something.
Well, I'll do whatever Mom says.
Since this is a family occasion, I'll call
the company and take a half-day off.
-He's such a good son.
-You brat.
But you have to promise me one thing.
Promise what?
You have to stay until we finish.
You can't tell your client
that you'll be there soon.
If you do that, I'll kill you.
Gosh, he's going to kill me. How scary.
All right. Sure. Don't worry about that.
Even if my client begs me to come,
I'll kick my client like this. Okay?
Gosh, Yong-pil is so scary.
Fine. Let's do it.
I should tell him
that the police caught Man-bok.
But I didn't get my money back yet.
When I get the money back,
I'll tell him then. Okay. Great.
Yes, that's the right thing to do.
Hello.
-Saet-byul. My Saet-byul.
-Saet-byul.
Hey.
Why are you all here together?
Are you guys going somewhere?
No, we're not. We're going
to clean the whole store today
before the company takes over.
I see. The store?
My gosh, no one is going
to appreciate our effort.
Nonsense.
But the dust will feel our effort, right?
Saet-byul, you can go home now.
We'll clean this place
as we run the store today.
My gosh, no. I should help too.
I'm an employee here.
Yes. That's right.
The three of you can clean, then.
-I'll go now.
-Choi Yong-pil.
Give it back. I'm going to work so hard!
-Let's all clean the store together.
-Sure.
-I'm getting a call. What is this?
-All right.
Yes, Ms. Kim from the wallpaper store.
I see. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant?
Congratulations. Yes.
Of course. We have one for babies.
Is that so?
Then, why don't I pay you a visit now?
Okay. Hey, I'll go make some money.
You stay here.
-Bye, ma'am.
-Mom.
Did you see that? She already
pulled this stunt several times.
She does this all the time!
-I'll help out.
-Will you? Okay. Work hard.
[Mrs. Gong. Hold on a second.]
-Yes?
[-My daughter-in-law is with me.]
[She says that the policies
are cheaper online.]
Pardon?
[I'm sorry. I'm getting a call.]
[I'll call you later.]
I think this woman
must be out of her mind.
Hello.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I thought you already left.
I was wondering if there might be
any ways to find Boon-hee.
So I stayed one more day.
I'm on my way back to the airport.
I wanted you to keep this for me.
What's this?
It's the letter I wrote for Boon-hee
as soon as I left Busan.
[To Gong Boon-hee]
[To Gong Boon-hee]
But it was returned to me.
[To Gong Boon-hee]
If you happen to reach her,
could you give this for me?
I don't think I'll ever come back.
-Dad.
-What?
-Mom.
-Your mother?
-What do we do?
-To the storage room!
You send her back home. You, come with me.
Come here. It's okay. Come here.
-Where are we going?
-Come here.
-Why are we going inside?
-Go inside.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Well
-What is it?
-My wife is here.
Then, let me say hello to her.
No. It's better that you don't.
She'll leave soon.
But why are you so nervous?
I don't know. I have no idea.
My gosh, that awful woman.
-Ma'am.
-Hey, Mom.
What? Why are you back so early?
Did Yong-pil take off already?
-Yes, he left.
-Yes.
He left?
That sly jerk. That's all right. Fine.
I wanted to clean the place
with or without him today.
Let's start with the storage room.
-No!
-No!
You startled me. What's wrong with you?
Just because.
We can clean the storage room later.
-We should do it. It's too much for you.
-Right.
Mom. Oh, right.
You should go see your client.
You brat.
What client? I just lost my client.
Move out of my way. I'll--
-No, Mom.
-Are you mad?
Why do you keep stopping me?
-What is it? What's wrong with you?
-My gosh.
Want a hug or a piggyback ride?
-What's wrong with you?
-Ma'am!
What's wrong?
What's gotten into you, Saet-byul?
-Mom.
-Move out of my way.
-No, I
-Ma'am.
There's no need to come in here.
I finished cleaning.
I thought you already left.
What a surprise you're still here.
You should go home and rest up.
I'll take care of the rest.
-What?
-You're the best. All right.
I see. You finished cleaning there?
If you're done in there,
let's clean the windows over there.
-Let's go.
-I'm all right.
What? Go and clean the windows.
Let's go and clean the windows.
-Okay.
-Let's clean them.
-The windows.
-You clean the windows.
What is it?
Are you hiding a baby in there?
What are you trying to eat without me?
If it's something good, you're dead meat.
Let's see. What do you have here?
You're dead meat. What
Who are you?
My gosh. Oh, no. This is bad. Goodness.
[Backstreet Rookie]
Hello.
I'm Choi Yong-pil's friend.
My name is Hong Jang-mi.
Jang-mi?
My dear, let me explain.
Please listen.
Aren't you Gong Boon-hee?
Aren't you Boon-hee?
My gosh.
Darn it.
Did you two get married?
Why did you say you didn't know
Did he say that
he didn't know he married me?
-A few days ago,
-Okay.
I came back to Korea from China.
When I asked him about you,
he said he didn't know where you were.
I see. You got here a few days ago
and met with him?
Did you meet him
at the cafe in a hotel?
That's right.
I heard you moved to China.
Where do you live?
Don't tell her.
Zhangjiajie.
I see. You live in Zhangjiajie.
I didn't know
Jang-mi lived in Zhangjiajie.
-Boon-hee.
-What?
It's been so long.
Jang-mi.
Yes?
I never
met you today.
Let's say we never met.
Honey.
Excuse me. Could you move out of my way?
Honey.
My dear.
Boon-hee.
Gosh.
Darn it. Oh, no.
What do I do? I'm in big trouble.
Gosh. Darn it!
[Tented Bar]
At times like this,
I should turn off my phone.
But I'm worried my clients might call.
How pathetic that I can't even turn off
my phone whenever I want.
Hello?
Ma'am, it's me. It's Yeon-joo.
Hey. Why are you calling me at this hour?
I called you to let you know
that the contract has been finalized.
We'll wire the money next week.
I see. You could have called Dae-hyun.
Okay. Thank you.
Bye.
[Hey, I want one more bottle of soju.]
Ma'am.
Hello?
I want to drink soju with you too.
What?
I'm off work now.
I'm passing through Shinseong-dong.
Just one drink, please?
You wouldn't like
to drink at a place like this.
Where are you?
I'll tell you what I think
after I see it for myself.
-All right.
-Will Mrs. Gong be all right?
She won't answer our calls.
My dad has broken her heart
so many times before.
But my dad crossed the line today,
didn't he?
Saet-byul, don't worry.
She'll be home soon.
-This looks good.
-Try it.
It tastes good, right?
See? I told you
I cook great instant noodles.
You have my approval.
Tomorrow, I'll buy you
something even more delicious.
Saet-byul, now that
I'm about to hand over my store,
it feels a little weird.
We wouldn't have met
if I didn't run the store.
And without you,
the store wouldn't have done so well.
So to sum it up, you and I were
able to do that
thanks to the convenience store.
Grapes.
My gosh, you're so childish. Strawberry!
No, don't say that!
Let's just go with grapes.
-Come on inside.
-You need to take your shoes off.
-Okay.
-Careful.
Mrs. Gong.
This is our house, Yeon-joo.
-Come inside. Let's drink some more.
-What's going on? Hey, Mom.
-What
-Hey, Dae-hyun.
I called her for something,
and we ended up drinking together.
-Can you take this?
-Oh, okay.
My goodness. Come here, my son.
Dae-hyun, you're such a kind son.
You're the best.
Mom, why did you drink so much?
I was in a good mood today,
so I had a few drinks.
My son made my dream come true.
Your salary is over 100,000 won,
and you're an executive at a big firm.
♫ You have no idea how happy I am ♫
♫ You have no idea how happy I am ♫
Dae-hyun, listen to me.
I don't need a husband.
And I don't need any friends.
All I need is you.
All I need is my son, okay?
-Mom, are you okay?
-Why wouldn't I be okay?
Dae-hyun, I came home
in a really nice car.
Yeon-joo, gave me a ride. Hey, Yeon-joo.
Yes, I'm right here.
My goodness gracious.
Yeon-joo, thank you so much.
Yeon-joo, thank you so much
for drinking with me today.
No, I should be the one to thank you.
You should call me often from now on.
Okay, sure.
Dae-hyun, I owe her a lot.
She did so much for me today.
Now, you should go and take her home.
Escort her to her house. Hurry.
Ma'am, I'll be off now.
Yeon-joo. Goodbye, Yeon-joo.
-I'll see you again.
-Okay.
Bye.
Okay, bye.
Ma'am, you should lie down.
-There you go.
-Okay.
Ma'am, it's time for me to work
at the convenience store.
You should teach Mr. Choi a big lesson
once he comes home.
Okay. Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo, thank you so much.
I hope you do your best
to help Dae-hyun out.
I never got to live the life I wanted.
But I want Dae-hyun to live differently.
That's my dream.
Okay, Yeon-joo? Please do me a favor.
Thank you. Thank you, Yeon-joo.
-Dae-hyun.
-Yes?
About yesterday
Well
Yeon-joo told me
that she wants to apologize,
but apparently, you won't let her.
I'm sure Yeon-joo worked really hard
to make the company
take over our convenience store.
She also took good care of me yesterday.
You should meet up with her
and let her apologize.
And thank her for what she did.
-Mom.
-It's best to get that kind of stuff done
as fast as possible.
You should meet her today
if you have time.
I have dinner plans today.
I'm totally fine.
You should listen to your mother.
He promised to treat me to a nice meal
to cheer me on
saying he feels a bit sad
to let go of the store.
Saet-byul.
It's okay.
Yes, do as I tell you.
You should meet her today, Dae-hyun.
-Mr. Choi.
-Hey.
-Here.
-What's this?
You should give this to Mrs. Gong.
They're white tulips,
and they symbolize "Forgiveness".
-Saet-byul, thank you.
-No problem.
But I don't know
if the flowers will be enough.
Don't worry.
I have something even better up my sleeve.
"Something even better"? What's that?
[Cashier's check]
[Cashier's check]
I met Jang-mi so I could get this money.
I met Jang-mi so I could get this money.
I had no ulterior motive.
I told her I run a convenience store,
and that's how she came that day.
You told me you didn't want to see her.
That's why I told her
that I don't know you. That's all.
I'm serious. Please believe me.
These tulips symbolize "Forgiveness".
Saet-byul--
Get them away from me!
Why did you want to go to Zhangjiajie?
Tell me why.
Why don't you just hit me?
Hit me until you feel better.
Forget it. Take this,
go to Zhangjiajie, and get married to her.
Just leave.
Boon-hee, I deserve to die.
You
don't even deserve a beating.
Take all this and get lost.
No, I won't leave.
I'm going to live and die right here.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
Then I'll leave.
Boon-hee!
-Let me go.
-No, I can't.
Boon-hee.
Would you like another cup of coffee?
No, I'll be leaving soon.
-Then should I throw this away?
-Yes.
Okay. Thank you.
Boon-hee.
Boon-hee, I really wanted to see you
before I left.
I'm so glad I got to see you like this.
Life must be really easy for you.
You come and go
whenever you want. What a life.
Back then, I had a reason.
-To be honest--
-I don't want to hear it.
You told me you wanted to see me
before you left.
Well, you saw me, so leave.
Here. Please read it.
I'll be off now.
Boon-hee, I hope you stay well.
[To Gong Boon-hee]
Eat up.
Thank you for asking me
to eat dinner with you today.
No, I'm more grateful
for what you did for my mother yesterday.
I'd like to sincerely apologize
for how rude my mother was to you
in the past.
I've always wanted to apologize for that.
Didn't you tell me
it was a misunderstanding back then?
As I talked to your mother last night,
I got to find out
that she's a great person.
I don't want to avoid it
saying I didn't know anything.
Now that you're being honest about it,
I'll accept your apology.
We promised to be honest
to each other about everything,
but I failed to do that.
From now on,
I'd like to treat you
with my utmost sincerity.
No.
I just want us to remain
as good colleagues.
[Dear Boon-hee,]
[I'm leaving for China tonight.]
[Hong Jang-mi]
[Hong Jang-mi]
[I'm sorry for not telling you
in advance.]
[Hong Jang-mi]
[I'm in love with someone.]
[I know I shouldn't do this
to my parents,]
[but I believe they'll forgive me
in the future]
[once they see me happily married.]
[Boon-hee, I know you probably hate me
for disappearing without a word.]
[But I trust that you'll understand.]
[But I trust that you'll understand.]
[From Hong Jang-mi]
[From Hong Jang-mi]
[I hope you reply
once you're no longer angry at me.]
[International Departures]
[I will always be waiting.]
[From your everlasting friend, Jang-mi.]
[P.S. The photo inside the envelope]
[is the photo we took last time
at the school picnic.]
My goodness.
I can't believe I used to be so young.
Boon-hee.
I'm sorry for living such a lousy life.
He's coming. He's coming.
Welcome.
-Saet-byul.
-Mr. Choi.
No, wait. Take a few steps back. Go on.
A bit more.
Now, let me disinfect myself.
Okay, all done. It's perfect.
I'm done disinfecting myself.
I'm totally clean now.
The ex-girlfriend virus is gone.
There's none of that.
Mr. Choi, you forgot one thing.
Give me your hands.
Gosh, you're a perfectionist.
-Okay.
-It's best to do things perfectly.
All done.
You came really early.
I came running because I missed you.
Good job.
My dad will be here soon,
so let's go home together once he arrives.
-Sir!
-Dad!
-We're home.
-We're home.
-What did you eat?
-What do you mean?
Did you eat something nice with Yeon-joo?
What did you eat with her?
We had meat.
You bought her beef, right?
Yeon-joo is very classy,
so it's better to buy her beef.
-From now on, keep that in mind.
-Gosh, forget it.
Dae-hyun, I noticed yesterday
that Yeon-joo is very considerate
and warm-hearted.
I did what you asked.
I accepted her apology and thanked her.
So that's enough.
It seems like Yeon-joo thinks of you
very differently now.
She's not like how she used to be.
Mom, please stop.
What?
I'll go upstairs.
Mom, will you stop talking to me
about Yeon-joo?
Why?
Why can't I talk about her?
What do you mean?
I broke up with her. It's over.
And did you already forget
about what happened in the past?
How could I forget?
How could I ever forget that?
How could I forget the incident
that helped me become the insurance queen?
Why would you remember it like that?
Then how do you want me to remember it?
Do you think she was the first person
to treat me like that?
That could sometimes lead
to good relationships.
That's life.
What do you want?
Should I get back with her?
Is that what you want?
Yes. If that happens,
I'd ask for nothing more.
I'll even dance to celebrate.
What's the matter with you?
Do you think I'm doing this for myself?
I'm doing this for you.
I'm not telling you to get back with her
for no reason.
I could tell that she really wants
to get back with you yesterday.
I don't think you'll get dragged around
like you did before.
And I feel like her family
will treat you with more respect.
Gosh, if you like her that much,
why don't you go live with her instead?
Dad, I'll be off now.
Aren't you going to eat?
No, I'm not that hungry.
-At least have some soup,
-No, it's okay.
I'll be off now.
-See you.
-Bye.
-Ma'am, have some breakfast.
-I told you to get lost.
I'm not kidding. Close the door.
My gosh, what's with the mood?
[Grab the opportunity.
From Store Manager Bae Geun-sik]
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
-Let's put it here.
-Okay.
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
Why would you bring this outside?
What's this doing in the storage?
Mr. Choi left it there for me.
I'm the manager now.
By the way, I checked the POS machine.
And I noticed that you guys ran the place
like a pop-up store.
I want you to forget
everything you learned.
-What?
-New wine belongs in a new bottle.
I used to serve
in the special forces unit.
This is too big.
We'll have to call the district office
to throw it away.
Say hello. She's Kyung-hee,
an expert in this business.
-Hi, I'm Jung Saet-byul.
-I'm Park Kyung-hee.
-Hi, I'm Jung Saet-byul.
-I'm Park Kyung-hee.

You're a lot younger than expected.
You're a lot younger than expected.
What year did you enter college?
You're like a rude customer.
What?
You obviously know I didn't go to college.
I didn't even graduate high school.
Kyung-hee worked out for a long time.
You did Muay Thai and what else?
Kendo. Second-degree black belt.
Oh, I see.
I hope we get along.
I advise you to use this strength
for work.
We have tons of stuff to do.
[Lifestyle Platform, GS25]
She's not an easy one.
[Crispy chicken fried with fresh oil]
This is interesting.
It's 2,000 won.
Assistant Manager.
When you run a convenience store,
how you display the items is very crucial.
But the way things are displayed here
is a complete mess.
So what's your point?
What do you think?
I want you to redisplay them.
-Sir, we'll return to the head office.
-Bye.
-Good work, today.
-Good work.
Have a good day.
Store Manager.
-Yes?
-What's our new item?
We have something amazing in the fridge.
Really? Let's go and check. Come on.
Let me help you with your studies.
[Mr. Choi is watching you.
You can do this!]
Mr. Choi, it's time for me
to get off work.
Okay, Saet-byul. You did great.
I'm home.
Mrs. Gong.
I'm home.
Hey.
Did you eat?
My goodness.
I don't have an appetite.
I'm not hungry at all.
Saet-byul.
What did I do so wrong?
Dae-hyun has never
yelled at me like that before.
Saet-byul, listen.
Do you know
what it is that scares me the most?
It's the possibility
that my child might end up
living a difficult and poor life
just like me.
That scares me the most.
That's why I said all those stuff.
I still can't believe
he yelled at me like that.
I mean, it's not like
I have a rich husband.
And
And it's not like I have
a lot of money saved up.
The only person I can rely on
is my son, Dae-hyun.
Ma'am, don't worry too much.
I'm sure he's regretting it right now.
Saet-byul, are you sure
this sausage stew will do?
Why didn't you pick something better?
I wanted to buy you something delicious.
What are you talking about?
I love sausage stew.
It looks so delicious.
-My gosh, you I can't believe this.
-What's wrong?
You just Gosh, you really know
how to eat your sausage stew.
-What?
-I'm talking about the instant noodles.
Instant noodles are a must
when you eat sausage stew.
Who doesn't add instant noodles?
-Some people don't.
-Are you serious?
Yes. It gives me the creeps.
-That's a big mistake.
-I know, right?
It's like cooking kimchi stew
without kimchi.
It's like doenjang stew without doenjang.
And gochujang stew without gochujang.
Yes, exactly.
It's like sundae soup with no sundae.
How was work today?
It's still the same store,
so it was pretty much the same.
I'm relieved to hear that.
Saet-byul, the instant noodles
are starting to cook,
and it's kind of getting me excited.
What do you think I should do?
-It's time to take them out.
-Exactly.
-Mr. Choi.
-Yes?
You should apologize to your mother.
You shouldn't have
yelled at her like that yesterday.
Saet-byul, I always listen to my mother.
But last night was different.
Don't be like that.
You're usually not like this.
Saet-byul,
about what my mom said yesterday
Don't take it to heart, okay?
Let's eat.
[Mr. Choi, I don't want you to change.]
[I want you to remain as a kind son.]
[And I want you to continue
to do your best with work.]
[If you were your normal self,
you wouldn't have fought with your mom.]
[You would've just said "Okay, Mom"
and ended the conversation.]
Eat up, Saet-byul.
[If it weren't for me]
[If I wasn't around]
[Because that's the kind of person
you normally are.]
Hurry up and eat.
I might finish everything.
[I will never be able to find a room
that's as cozy and warm]
[as this one.]
[Mrs. Gong, thank you.]
[You're such a great person.]
[And I don't want to be the one
who makes you feel scared.]
[And sir, thank you so much
for everything.]
[Mr. Choi, when you told me
that you like me,]
[I felt happy and anxious
at the same time]
[because deep down inside,]
[I knew that things might end this way.]
[Although it didn't last long,
I will never forget]
[how happy you made me feel.]
[Thank you, Mr. Choi.]
