Who is that...
in that photo?
She's my mother.
Did you find a place to stay?
I think I'll have to wait a month.
I'll find a place for you within a week, so you should go.
I don't think I can do that.
How can I just leave when Mr. Kang is being so thoughtful?
Why can't you ever do anything the first time I ask?
Well, you always ask me to do things that I can't do.
What?
My feelings about you have subsided after hearing you're Mr. Jung's mother.
Someone will hear you. Don't say those things aloud.
Anyway, you brought Mr. Jung into the world.
Right, so if you're thankful, please get out of here.
I'll talk to Mr. Kang.
Why talk to him? Just go.
Still, how could I leave without talking to him about it?
You're really driving me crazy.
Get rid of that photo first.
Why?
Why would you put up a photo of a dead person?
This is just the room I'm using.
Put it away if I say so.
Why does it bother you?
You can just stay out of this room.
You never listen to me the first time.
Let's talk for a minute.
What is it?
Never mind.
Let's talk later.
What's so funny?
It would've been so nice to have a daughter.
A daughter?
You've never mentioned that before.
Seeing Young Shin makes me think of it.
She's so pretty,
and I've never been so happy to buy something for someone ever.
I'm going to send Young Shin away.
Why?
I'm as picky as you are, so having someone else in the home is uncomfortable.
Why are you uncomfortable?
Just accept it if I say I'm uncomfortable.
I'm going to take care of her like a daughter while she's here.
What should I buy her next?
Why are you buying her more things? She'll take it for granted.
Why would she take it for granted?
She's not like that.
The more I think about it, the more I like that man Jung Gyung Soo.
He did a great job raising her.
That's true.
I want to adopt Jung Gyung Soo and live all together in one home.
You want to live with him too?
Yes.
I guess this is why people say daughters are so great.
I guess so.
Not much has changed, but the mood at home has gotten brighter,
and I feel happier.
I didn't notice how pretty she was when she wore the kitchen uniform.
After seeing the photo, I found that her mother was very pretty.
She looks just like her.
I see. I didn't know her mother was beautiful.
Doesn't she also look quite like Jun Young?
What are you talking about?
They both have big eyes and are tall.
Why would she resemble Jun Young?
Right.
Now that I think about it, that doesn't make sense.
Find a studio apartment to rent within a week.
A studio apartment? Why?
I'm going to send Young Shin away.
She's not the type to talk rashly. Why are you being so sensitive?
She's improving the mood in the family, so it won't harm you in any way.
The mood of the family isn't what I'm worried about.
Uncle Jong Gwon likes her so much. How can you just send her away?
He's going to make you the president.
What good will come of ruining your standing with Uncle Jong Gwon?
He seems to love her like his own daughter.
Of course, he would.
She is his daughter.
Aunt Sook Jung.
The bond between a parent and their child is so strong.
That's why he was always supportive of Young Shin.
What do you mean?
Young Shin...
is your uncle's daughter.
How do you know that?
What?
It's hard to believe that Young Shin is Uncle Jong Gwon's daughter,
but how did you learn that?
I have to work, so you should go.
What's so fun about this?
If you keep it up, it's fun.
I'm so not made for this.
Do it even if you're not right for it.
They say you can quit gambling if you try this.
Who said that?
A very amazing person said it.
I didn't make it up. It's something people say.
No fish are biting, and I can't sit still like this.
- My back! - Just sit down and do it.
Do you want to be chased out of the house?
When will these dumb fish bite?
He came with his brother?
He's afraid of Mr. Kang as if he were his father.
He's a good person who takes nothing seriously.
Really?
When I walked out wearing a dress,
he clapped and said I looked like Miss Korea.
I guess you looked pretty in the dress.
He has a photo of it on his phone.
He took a photo?
I see you're getting along really well.
At the restaurant, Manager Seo was so stingy and unlikeable,
but now that I'm living with her, I'm starting to like her a little.
She cares about me a lot more than I thought.
That's a relief.
Everyone except one person is treating you well.
Do you mean Mrs. Choi?
She's uncomfortable around you, isn't she?
Still, I need to be patient and treat her well.
Why do you want to treat her well?
She's your mother.
Whose mother is she?
If she hadn't given birth to you, we never would've met.
I would've been in trouble.
Listen here, Miss Kim Young Shin.
Whose fault is it that we had to part?
I guess you're right.
You don't know how to hate people.
I'm not good enough. You raised me that way.
Right, it's all my fault. Who else would be at fault?
By the way, you look thinner.
I look thin?
You aren't skipping meals because I'm not here, are you?
I'm eating enough.
Mr. Jung, should we set a time for us to think about each other?
Wouldn't talking on the phone be better?
Right, we could talk on the phone.
That sounds a bit weird, though.
We had to live apart because of a weird rumor,
but if we call each other every night, it might look weird.
Then,
let's think about each other every night right at 11 o'clock.
If you can think, "Young Shin is thinking about me too,"
wouldn't it help you be less lonely?
Mr. Jung,
don't be lonely.
I'll always be thinking about you.
Even when we're apart, I can miss you.
What would Mr. Kang's brother like to eat?
I bought some cheonggukjang too.
Thank you.
While you're here, come in and have dinner.
No, I ordered some jjamppong.
Then you should've eaten before coming. I wasn't in a rush.
I missed you, so I just came quickly.
Isn't that her? Hurry and go.
No, she might feel bad if she sees me.
It was just someone who looks like her.
Have you been eating well?
Of course.
If I were to sit around listlessly,
people would hate her even more.
That would be bad, so I've been eating well...
and doing lots of deliveries as if I'd forgotten her.
Yong Goo.
You went on delivery after ordering food?
I bet it's all soggy.
Hurry and eat.
Don't eat that. How could you eat that?
I can't just throw it out.
Just order a new one. I'll eat that bowl.
We're running a business. It's normal to eat soggy noodles every so often.
I told you not to eat it.
Why are you being like this?
Normally you'd say, "Just eat it."
"It's all the same once it's in your stomach."
Yong Goo.
You don't have to pretend you're okay in front of your mother.
I'm okay. Nothing's wrong.
I've put it all behind me.
Are you really over her?
Of course. It was nothing.
A man can't keep whining about a woman.
You don't have to pretend you're okay so that I won't worry.
I'm your mother. I can tell how you feel.
Stop talking to me.
My jjamppong noodles are getting soggy.
I don't know why people say Yong Goo is slow.
There's no one with a sounder mind than him.
I can tell he's keeping it all inside so that his mother doesn't worry.
I know.
With Young Shin staying with us,
we came at dinnertime so we could eat all together.
Is it okay?
Of course.
We don't bite.
This is President Kang's younger brother.
My name is Kang Jong Woo.
