Protect The Family (Save The Family / 가족을 지켜라 / Gajokeul Jikyeora)

What is it, Ms. Lee Haesu?

Dad!

Haesu.

How uncanny that you two should meet here.

Why are you here?

My restaurant is a One's Food franchise.

Is it?

I didn't know.

You're a One's Food employee,

and yet you didn't know

your father's restaurant was an affiliate?

In any case, like I said,

the contract cannot be renewed,

so please go.

Please.

Please reconsider.

If we can't renew the contract,

it will be a major blow to our family.

I beg of you.

Dad.

You should've done a better job.

I'm only following company regulations.

Once the contract expires,

you'll have to close the restaurant.

Ms. Ko.

I think you should go.

I beg you to reconsider.

If you renew our contract,

we'll work much harder.

Please...

And how may I help you?

I'm sorry.

I'll come back some other time.

Dad.

Hi, Haesu.

I just had to run into you there.

I didn't know you worked for One's Food.

Let's go somewhere and talk.

Sure. Let's do that.

Have you eaten?

No.

Then let's have lunch.

It'll be my treat.

Eat.

You like ribs.

You eat.

Go on.

Should I make you a wrap?

No.

I'm happy that at least I get to

have lunch with you.

Why were you there?

Our contract is about to expire.

We assumed it would be renewed,

but they said they wouldn't

since our sales revenue is too low.

Was business bad?

Most small local stores aren't doing well.

But they renewed the contracts

of businesses with lower sales than ours,

so I don't get why they got difficult.

If they don't renew the contract,

can't you do something else?

What else can I do?

All I know is frying chicken.

Does it have to be a One's Food franchise?

There are other fried chicken franchises.

Their deposits are much higher.

And if we pull out now,

we'll sustain a huge loss,

including renovation expenses.

By the way, that doctor who came with you,

is he your boyfriend?

No.

Are you sure?

It seemed like he really cares for you.

And he seemed like a nice person.

He's just a nice person that I know.

Haesu,

I wish you'd meet someone,

settle down, and start a family.

You can't take care of those kids forever.

You need to live your life.

You should eat.

Okay.

The meat will overcook.

Eat.

Ms. Lee must have gone somewhere.

She went to see Ms. Ko.

It can't be about anything good.

I just don't get it.

Haesu's not her punching bag.

Did something happen?

Ms. Kim lodged a complaint

about the food here, right?

Yes. What about it?

There was a rumor going around that Haesu

was urging people to complain.

There must've been a misunderstanding.

No, there wasn't.

Ms. Ko's just out to get Haesu.

When did Ms. Lee head out?

She should be back anytime now.

I beg of you.

If you renew our contract,

we'll work much harder.

Yes?

Where are you?

I stepped outside for a bit.

Where are you?

Why?

I heard you went to see Yewon.

Was she rude to you again?

Why are you so nosy?

I'm fine, so goodbye.

If you're fine and dandy,

what are you doing out here?

I needed to cool down.

Wow, it's hot.

The cafeteria staff told me what happened.

Did Yewon chew you out again?

I didn't have a talk with Ms. Ko.

And I'm supposed

to believe that?

Are you going to lie to me?

I swear.

Something else came up,

so I left as soon I got there.

What came up?

Why do you want to know?

It's a personal matter.

You don't like personal questions, either.

Good grief.

Sit down for a moment.

I have to get back.

If you don't tell me,

I'll go and see Yewon right now.

I know she's harassing you because of me.

This is something I need to resolve.

This is my problem.

I get why Ms. Ko is being like this.

But it's a misunderstanding,

so I need to explain it to her.

If you get involved,

it makes me look worse.

I should go.

Her name was...

Mina. Yes. It was Mina.

She was a great singer.

But why is she looking for me?

That was years ago.

Wait.

Why can't I meet with her?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I told her to look me up if she's in Korea,

so maybe that's why she's looking for me.

I could just buy her lunch or something.

Yes. Be cool. Be cool.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Welcome.

Excuse me.

About that poster there...

Yes?

Who put it up there?

Why do you ask?

It's not illegal.

My boss said it was okay.

I'm not saying it's illegal.

Wait a minute.

Weren't you here earlier?

Huh?

Could you please remove your sunglasses?

What for?

You look like the guy on the poster.

Me?

No way.

What is your name?

Why are you asking me my name?

Then at least take off your sunglasses.

Geez.

This convenience store is no good.

They don't train their employees properly.

I'll go shop elsewhere.

Wait, sir!

Sir!

It was definitely Dongbaek's dad.

What do I do?

'Disappeared with the falling leaves'

'On the apathetic river,'

'small ripples flow'

'Reminiscing with regret'

'A woman's life'

Wow. That was so good. That was great.

Thank you.

I'm thinking of giving you a new song.

Can you sing it for us?

Of course.

I'll try my best.

You can take it.

Where's the sheet music?
