Right.

Shoot. I took the wrong bus and got off halfway.

I was lost in thought.

What?

Yes, it's my first day. Why?

Whatever. I'm hanging up.

Gosh.

It's like a superpower.

I bet you can't do it with one hand.

I can't either.

- We want to learn that too. - Why?

- Couple T-shirts. - What?

You're a couple, right?

- What couple? - I think they are.

- She's good, right? - Yes, she's fast as lightning.

She's so cool.

She's like a real genius.

Ta-da.

Wow, you're so awesome.

Can you teach me the moves?

- Me too. - Me too.

The bus is here.

- See you next time. Bye. - Okay.

Right?

- What? - GB Home Shopping.

Six for 59.90 dollars.

The quality is amazing for the price,

and they're machine washable.

- Do you work for the company? - No, I'm just a customer.

That green you're wearing looks great on you,

but there's a purple one in the set of six.

That one's really pretty too.

Right.

I saw you playing with the kids earlier.

You were great with them.

They're the same age as my youngest siblings.

Ma'am.

Is she sleeping?

Ma'am, are you okay?

Driver, please open the door.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, are you okay?

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

From now on, Gyu Rim will be in charge

of teaching Mu Jin...

Wait... Han Gyu Rim?

Where's Han Gyu Rim?

- Gyu Rim said she'd be late. - Why?

Well

she said she's taking an elderly woman

who collapsed to the hospital.

She chose the wrong profession.

She should have joined the emergency services.

Why is she working part-time at a restaurant?

Her nickname was always Chief Han.

If something happened to someone, somewhere,

Chief Han would appear without a doubt.

Ma'am, are you okay? Are you conscious?

Who are you?

I'm the person from the bus stop earlier.

They said you collapsed from exhaustion.

I called your son, so he should be here soon.

Mom, Park Su Nam? Mom!

Mom, are you okay?

That hurts, you punk. My gosh.

Gosh, if you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital first.

If something had happened to you, I would've died too. Seriously.

I should get going now.

Excuse me, you're the one who found my mom,

- and called me, right? - Yes.

How can I just let my mother's saviour leave like this?

- Saviour? I'm no saviour. - No, please.

Please take good care of your mother.

- Ma'am, get well soon. Stay strong! - Hey, miss!

Heung Sik.

Mom.

Mom, are you okay?

Is there another young lady as nice as her in this world?

Well, there might be, but it's safe to say they're rare.

When I opened my eyes earlier,

- I thought an angel was in front. - Did you?

- What's our family motto? - Repay your enemies twice over,

and your benefactors 1,000 times over.

You must repay her. If you don't repay a kindness,

- you're no better than an animal. - I know. Mom, don't worry.

- Just try not to get sick. - What's that young lady's name?

You should know. How would I know?

- Not even finding out her name? - Mom, you don't know?

Ignorant fool. How would I know when I just recovered?

- Then what do we do? - Good grief, that foolish kid.

Han Gyu Rim.

Manager.

What are you smiling about?

You know I can spit in a smiling face, right?

If your dream is to volunteer, you should just quit,

and pursue that dream to your heart's content.

Didn't I tell you that?

I'm sorry.

Instead, for a whole month, I'll close the bar and floor

every single day, no rotations.

So please, just 1 more time. Really, just 1 more time. Please.

Well, if you put it that way, Gyu Rim.

Then we'll have Gyu Rim handle

closing the floor and bar for a month.

This is Kim Mu Jin, who's starting today.

- You can train Mu Jin, right? - Yes, of course.

We've met before, right?

Yes, 59.90 dollars.

I look forward to working with you, senior.

Yes, me too.

Mom, isn't our Gyu Young so pretty?

She is.

Where did you find such a pretty and nice young lady?

Hey, she looks just like your mother when she was young.

She's much prettier than me.

You're more beautiful, ma'am.

I thought she was just pretty, but she speaks beautifully too.

You go to medical school?

- Yes, that's right. - No. Gyu Young isn't just pretty,

she's smart too.

Hey, get a grip, you punk.

That kid.

Look who's here. Han Gyu Young, right?

How many months is this one?

- Excuse me, ma'am. - Who are you?

Who on earth are you?

It seems you've been bewitched by a 1,000-year-old fox,

- and I couldn't pretend not to see. - Why are you speaking so harshly?

She's a very scary girl.

Well, even at a glance,

you don't seem like an ordinary family...

- Which is why she seduced him. - Ma'am.

Gyu Young.

Do you know this woman?

She does. She knows me very well.

She's pretty,

and because she goes to a prestigious medical school,

she acts like she's already a licensed doctor,

sucking the life out of this man and that man,

and when she's done, she dumps them overnight,

turning a perfectly fine person into a wreck.

I have something to attend to, so I think I should be excused.

I'll treat you to a delicious meal soon,

ma'am, sir.

I heard the longest you dated someone was eight months.

Is that right?

You should save your sleep-talking for home, ma'am.

My son is still seeing a psychiatrist because of her.

- If you don't want him a wreck... - Ma'am.

I'm telling you this because I think you should know the facts.

The reason I broke up with your son is because while he was dating me,

he was sleeping around with bar girls,

- so I dumped him out of disgust. - What?

Your son was making a scene, saying it was all his fault,

and begging me to take him back,

but I couldn't stand the sight of him,

so when I exposed everything,

it came out that he'd even attempted to rape a junior,

and that's why your son is seeing a psychiatrist

to get a reduced sentence for diminished capacity.

Well, since it seems you've already thrown everything into chaos,

shall I spell out for you just how much

of a scumbag your son is?

Gyu Young, Han Gyu Young.

Gyu Young. How could you just leave like this?

I'll take care of everything.

If my parents oppose our relationship

because of what happened today,

I can even abandon my parents.

All I need is you, Gyu Young, so let's...

Then why would I date you?

- What? - If you throw away

your parents' money, connections, and all that,

you're just a dim-witted loser with no future.

So why would I date you?

You said it yourself that you love me.

You said you were crazy in love with me.

I do love you.

You spend money freely, drive a nice car,

wear designer clothes from head to toe,

the you with a guaranteed, dazzling future,

that's the you I'm crazy in love with.

Gyu Young.

If you want to get back together with me, convince your parents.

Tell them you'll die without Han Gyu Young.

They wouldn't let their only son die, would they?

No...

Gyu Young.

- Han Gyu Oh, where are you going? - To my cram school.

Hey, I heard you're prepping for a sports university. How's it going?

- I'm just doing it. - Man, that must be tough.

You're there until 11:00?

Hey, did you bring any coins?

- What did you bring? - This punk.

- No, let me see. - Hey, Gyu Oh, let's just go.

- I hear coins jingling in your bag. - Let's go, Gyu Oh.
