What is love anyway?
You're asking me that over noodles?
I hear you asked Huijeong if she loved Jinguk.
She told you that?
Is caring and protecting someone
the only way to love another?
It may seem
like Huijeong can be an ice queen at times,
but she's not.
She's the one hurting the most right now.
That makes me all the more upset.
She's a mom now.
Why can't she look at the big picture?
If she were a bit more accepting,
it'll bring the whole family peace.
Not everyone in the world's as perfect as you.
Some have a hard time properly conveying feelings,
like Huijeong, for one.
But she, too, wants to live a happy life.
Gichan.
Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks.
Drive safely.
Wow.
The buffet opening was like a war.
It got hectic the minute
the customers started lining up.
Jeongeun.
You really outdid yourself this time.
Even your revenue estimate was on point.
It would've been bad if you listened to Ms. Kang.
We would've run out of food.
Yeah.
Jeongeun, great job.
Thank you.
Why'd you come back? I said you can go home.
Right, I hear you're the family's porcelain doll,
as they fear you might break any minute.
It'd be awful if you got sick because of work.
Go home.
Including invited guests, over 800 came today.
Why are the tables so far apart?
Normally, it's 1:1 per 3.3 m² between the tables
but we set it at 1.5:1
to avoid traffic for the customers.
But buffets are all about traffic.
That restaurant's ridiculously oversized.
Put more tables in.
I'll take care of that.
Okay. I'll change that when you hand me the chain.
Give me the $10 million in revenues
after opening all 5 restaurants
in a month.
If I do,
you'll let me do as I please?
Sure.
I'll let you marry Ga-eun.
But is it even working out in your favor?
Yes, it's going well.
Are you sure you're not dating Huijeong?
How can you say that?
She's divorced now and you're single,
so it could happen.
Father.
Then, what was that about the other day?
I'm a close friend of her husband
and we fought over her and his divorce.
Alright, go.
What are you doing?
We're looking over the surveys.
The feedback is positive.
What did your father say?
He's going to ask you about my relationship
with Ms. Kang.
He thinks we're having an affair or something.
Why?
He saw me yelling
at his son in his office the other day.
So what'd you tell him?
That I think she's scum
for having left Jinguk.
Why?
You should've just told him I was
the woman who threatened you 5 years ago.
I'm not even married to Jinguk anymore,
so why cover for me?
Because I pity your son.
She's spiteful enough without your provoking.
I'm certain she blackmailed Ms. Im.
I want to see Jinguk dump her once and for all.
This is the life!
Picking up seafood from the market at dawn,
making deliveries from place to place,
and then finishing up with a car wash.
This is how a man ought to work for a living.
Good work today, President Kang.
President?
Call me Department Head Kang.
The highest promotion I ever got
was assistant manager.
Yes, sir.
I bet you're hungry. What do you want for lunch?
Call your mom for me first.
That mean old woman.
Oh, yeah. You saw her this morning, right?
How'd it go?
I went there in person to make a delivery
and dropped it right off.
If you had made the delivery,
she'd have come at dawn to make breakfast,
but for me, she didn't even show up.
Well? Call her!
Huh?
What a coincidence!
You and mom must be on the same wavelength.
Hey, mom.
Dad and I were just talking about you.
I see.
How was your day today?
Fine.
I'm sure you were busy earlier, so I didn't call,
but how did you like the cake last night?
What cake?
Ga-eun baked a cake
to congratulate you.
Give me that.
Hello? It's me.
You're really not going to make me breakfast?
Hang up.
Hello? Hello...
What the...
That woman!
Dad, I have to go out.
Where to? What about lunch?
There you are.
He didn't get the cake? Did you two have a fight?
We're so skilled now that we fight
without actually fighting.
That's not good.
I know.
It'd better to just get it all out.
Was it over Huijeong again?
If I had a brother like Gichan,
I wouldn't ask for anything more in life.
I mean, Huijeong's not the nicest sister,
yet he's so protective of her.
Jealous?
Nope.
I love him even more for it.
What?
I must've done something good in my youth
to have chosen a diamond in the rough
like Gichan 5 years ago.
So where's the cake?
Here it is!
What is the meaning of this?
What's this intrusion about?
This is mine, ma'am.
Ga-eun baked it for me.
I don't get it. Are you
that brazen or just plain dim-witted?
How can you be so thoughtless?
I would say all of the above, Ms. Gwon.
I've never seen such impudence in my life!
I get that.
You "get it"? I was insulting you!
Are you mocking me?
I'm sorry I came unannounced like this.
Ga-eun and I parted in a such a rush
that I didn't get this cake from her.
I'm really sorry about the intrusion,
but I had to stop by.
You saw each other last night?
And the day before that, too?
Yes.
How could you two go completely against my wishes?
Huh?
You should've called.
I could've gotten it.
Surprise! Surprised?
I'm sure not as much as my grandma.
What'd she say?
She said she'd never seen anyone so important.
You mean impudent?
Huh? That's a word?
Oh, my god.
My grandma's not like other grandmas.
She was insulting you.
That's some high-brow insulting.
Did she say anything else?
She's alright now.
I made her feel all better.
What happened to the cake?
Why are there two candles?
Because I have two trucks now?
Yup.
So you'll do this every time I buy a truck?
Why, a cake this size,
I could easily get 30 candles to fit!
