(Episode 14)
What's this?
Suggestion for the use of the cafe?
Genius?
I'll give this to Ms. Kim later as a birthday gift.
Should I see what this is?
President Hong.
How do I create an opportunity?
The encounter must be natural.
I'm back.
Did you give Busik his gift?
Not yet.
You got it but lack the courage to give it, right?
Zip it if you don't know anything.
What don't I know? What?
Can't you tell me,
big sister?
I don't think so.
So there's nothing.
You'd be itching to tell me if there was.
Good luck.
You're on your own for dinner.
Are you ill?
I don't know.
Injeong says it's the emptiness one feels
after a big party.
That could be.
Ow, ow, my back.
My knees ache, and so do my wrists.
I'm in so much pain even my hair hurts.
You're always griping about being in pain.
Just wait until you're my age
and we'll see what you gripe about.
When I was your age,
I ran around with you in my belly.
Do you think that's all I did?
I washed and dried hair all day,
did laundry, cleaned...
Okay. That's enough.
Inu, avoid the landmines.
I'm turning in to get my beauty sleep.
I handled too many hair chemicals when I had you.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, my back.
What?
Is she saying I'm not normal?
Whatever.
Hey! Is this potato?
Yes.
What's going on?
She never has late-night snacks.
Yes, this is it.
The video makes this look easy.
Mom's not back yet.
It's potato pancakes.
I brought them since Ms. Kim likes them.
Really?
You have some too.
I had dinner.
Mom will like them.
I'm glad I brought them.
I hope she comes before they get cold.
Do you have something to say?
Um...
It's nothing much.
I saw that your wallet was quite old.
So I got you one.
Inu.
You helped me that day.
I was so grateful.
It'd be weirder not helping a friend
being harassed by a drunkard,
so don't worry about it.
The same goes for me.
If I'm thankful to a friend,
it's okay for me to get him
a new wallet if his old one nags at me.
You leave me no choice.
Open it.
Thank you. This will come in handy.
Wow. This is nice.
I'm glad.
I'm so relieved you like it.
Wait.
I should give you something in return.
Hang on.
Sit down.
- Here? / - Yes.
There's nothing, right?
Nothing here.
Nothing here.
There's nothing here either.
Something will emerge.
If I shake this here...
I'm not good at this yet.
It worked.
Here. A gift.
You do magic tricks?
No, it's just a hobby.
It's plastic.
I should try it with a real flower next time.
Wow. So it works. It works.
What is it?
I'm tired. Can't it wait until tomorrow?
It won't take long.
I read this.
About the cafe?
Geez. No need to bother with this.
I'm not selling the cafe.
Did you even read this?
There's no need to read it.
I'm leaving the cafe as is.
So you didn't read it.
You can leave the cafe as is.
What?
There would be no reason for you
to sell the cafe or for Bogeum to quit her job.
Genius just wants to use the cafe
as a lounge for the Beauty Center.
What does that mean?
Genius wants to rent the cafe from you.
You had rented to Bogeum for free,
but Genius will pay you monthly rent.
And?
And Bogeum can continue to run the cafe,
but there's a condition.
It'll be a lounge during the day
and a cafe at night as it's been.
Bogeum will get 30% of the annual sales
on top of her salary.
They're suggesting we try this out for a year.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
So... So what you're saying is
it's good for me because I'll get monthly rent
and it's good for Bogeum because
she can get paid without worrying about the deficit?
The cafe's been in the red?
It's been teetering.
I made up for the deficit a few times.
But Bogeum's running the cafe for a good cause.
Although Bogeum's very cheerful,
running a business is tough.
Then Bogeum will like this too.
But what about Genius?
Big companies are ruthless.
Why would they sustain a loss to do this?
I doubt Genius would be losing out.
Will the PR value be as great as you think?
All the profits from the cafe will be donated.
Then we'll get a huge tax break.
It's not bad.
We'll keep the interior as is if
that's what the owner wants.
Same goes for the finger foods.
That won't do.
We must take over the kitchen.
There's no need.
The food's tasty enough as it is.
You've tried it? When?
It should be fine if our nephew likes it.
Wow. Just the tax cut alone will be a huge win.
Our clients will have access to
teas, alcohol, and karaoke.
Even though they'll be paying,
they'll be pleased it's for a good cause.
We'll kill many birds with one stone.
Wow, what a great idea.
How did you come up with it?
And one more thing.
The cafe stage.
I'll put you in charge.
Okay.
What?
The company's executive manager sings after work,
and the profits go to an orphanage.
It'll be great PR if leveraged well, right?
I'm moved. I'm moved.
You won't have to process my resignation now.
You were never even thinking of quitting.
I sent Mr. Lee over.
We should hear back soon.
Good, good.
Yes! The heavens gifted me a stage.
I won't have to tiptoe around you-know-who.
So are you happy?
I'm extremely happy.
I'll meet with that mindlessly laughing cafe owner
to come to an agreement.
Good grief. Good grief.
Okay. I'll be there at 2:00 pm tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.
Why are you back so late?
Let's talk tomorrow. Bye.
I was with friends I hadn't seen in a while.
What's this?
Did you make these?
Inu.
She brought them for you.
They look good.
Why don't you wash your hands first?
You didn't have dinner with your friends?
I'm hungry from all the gabbing.
It's potato pancake.
It's good.
Enjoy.
Do I smell perfume?
No?
Let me know if you don't like it.
I'll get it exchanged.
Inu.
Busik. Busik!
Yes?
What's this?
That...
Come sit down. Sit.
It's nothing.
Did you say no to every woman I set you up with
because of Inu?
Is that why you said you didn't want to
kowtow to rich in-laws?
Why can't you answer me?
So I'm right.
Inu's family will treat you like a king
and you won't have trouble getting by.
Is that it?
Didn't you say you liked Injeong?
That was just based on Injeong alone.
A woman should be sweet and amiable.
What? So it was Inu, not Injeong?
But you and I get by too.
What?
I'll just say one thing about whom I'll marry.
I'm way more materialistic than you think.
I would've married many times over
if I could be happy with just getting by.
So you just wait.
That's all I'm going to say.
Of course. Of course.
I should just trust you.
I do trust you!
I trust you, my sweet materialistic child!
So there's no reason to say no.
Hong Seokpyo.
You said we were taking the day off.
I had a delivery.
Don't worry. I'm closing back up.
Everyone must've gotten ill.
The market's quiet as half of the shops are closed.
You're a busy bee to have shopped already.
Oh, right. Have you seen Ms. Kim since then?
No, I haven't.
Didn't you say you were taking a class together?
The class was canceled.
Why are you asking after Ms. Kim?
Just.
You must be feeling bad too.
Although she charged daily interest,
she helped me out a lot in times of need.
The look on her face then has been eating away at me.
Truth is, we were a bit hard on her that day.
Let's get something straight here.
Why is it "we"? It was just you, Dong.
Whoa. Who egged me on?
Oranges make a thief. Don't you remember?
Help me if you're just going to stand there.
Oh? This is all-natural henna.
You said you didn't like this
because it was too expensive.
That? They sent free samples.
Even if they keep coming, I'm never ordering any.
Ms. Kim likes this.
Ms. Kim?
How would that cheapskate know about it?
Her daughter must've dyed her hair for her with it.
She's been raving about it ever since.
She says it keeps her hair soft and nice.
Why can't she just get some then?
Will she take all her money to the grave?
Really?
Give them here.
How petty.
What does she think I'll do with them?
Darn it.
Why me?
Then do I send that doltish bear?
She'd only make matters worse.
Why couldn't you temper yourself
with someone you see every day?
I didn't do anything.
Dong said we had to verify the diamonds were real
and kept pressuring her.
What is it?
Hair dye
and protective hair serum.
Emphasize that the dye is all-natural henna
and that the serum is premium-grade,
okay?
Is this really necessary?
You said you did nothing wrong.
That's not how it works in life.
Take that yourself if you want to apologize.
It's better to send a middleman in these matters.
You go and mollify Ms. Kim.
That's your specialty.
Help me out. Please?
Fine.
You won't go like that, right?
Have you ever seen her go out like that?
She wears full makeup just to go to the store.
What's with her?
She must've really wronged Ms. Kim
if she's that worried.
That's not the vibe I'm getting.
I heard Ms. Kim had a stepson from her late husband,
but I didn't know he was that big.
Think about the time that's passed.
You're right. I forget how much I've aged.
He must've made quite an impression that day.
I did hear good things about Ms. Kim's son,
and indeed, he is sweet and amiable.
And he looks quite manly too.
He's a great kid.
He's kind and friendly.
And he's a senior in med school.
He is?
If my daughter were five, no, three years younger,
I'd snatch him up as my son-in-law.
Who cares about age difference these days?
Be that as it may, a 25-year-old is too young.
People will call my daughter a cradle robber.
Since he's two years younger than Injeong,
it's not bad at all.
I hope she makes a good impression.
If I'd known, I would've defended Ms. Kim.
What?
Mind your own business.
We could've done this over phone.
Why did you come all this way?
Oh, no.
How could I call you about something so important?
Our president hates doing things like that.
Then let's make it Monday afternoon.
We'll do it at the Center.
Genius can pick the time.
Very well.
Will President Hong be there himself?
That I don't know.
But we'll make sure you're not inconvenienced.
- I'm off. / - Okay.
Oh? Hello.
Hello.
Do you know my Myeongjo?
Of course.
I saw him at the Center and at the show.
Do you work on the weekends too?
This isn't work.
Oh. I should get going.
- Okay. / - Me too.
- Goodbye. / - Bye then.
Hey, Eunjo, what are you doing?
Why are you dressed like that when you have
tons of nice clothes?
You never wear the same outfit twice,
but you've worn this before.
You said clothes just had to be clean.
Where are all the clothes you got recently?
Did you return them?
Not yet.
Pick one out from there.
Geez. I never thought a shopping spree
could ever pay off.
And look happier.
You can't go on a blind date like that.
This is the last one.
Don't set up a date again without telling me.
I only did it because the guy's such a good catch.
He only had today off.
He's the young CEO of the company his father founded.
He's apparently tall, handsome, and personable.
Why would someone like him go on a blind date?
Get changed before you get any older,
and do something about that hair.
There's no time.
I don't have time either.
I have dinner plans.
I'll rush through the blind date to get to dinner.
Good grief...
Geez. Why that little brat.
Wait up.
Ms. Kim hasn't said anything to you?
About what?
Nothing.
Isn't it tough working on a Sunday?
Does the day of the week matter when there's work?
Wow. You're really professional.
Listen. I have a feeling I'm way older than you.
I've always wanted to do that
as I'm always the youngest.
I'm going that way.
This way for me.
Now I'll turn off my phone
and go off the grid.
Right.
- Have a good one. / - You too.
He just doesn't seem like Eunjo's type.
Does he live around here?
But this isn't a rich neighborhood.
What does it matter?
Why are you using that crappy thing
instead of the high-tech one?
This is more accurate.
38°C.
Here. Green plum tea.
It'll help bring the fever down.
And this is an ice pack.
Take something if the fever's not subsiding.
I did.
You'd worked hard on the makeup show,
so take it easy for the time being.
The housekeeper's not here today.
Fix Seokpyo something to eat.
Huh? Seokpyo went to the Center.
He said he was on duty today.
He went?
You should've stopped him.
Call Mr. Lee and have him go to the Center.
No, no.
I'll go. I will.
Hey, hey. He'll transfer you to Busan if you go.
Fine. One way or another,
he'll figure something out.
But what is he on duty for?
There's something like that at the Center?
The person on duty launders all the towels,
gowns, and caps the clients wore
over the week.
The towels must be boiled.
Wow. Laundry?
Seokpyo's doing laundry?
That would be a sight to see.
Geez. Don't worry.
You must have a washing machine there.
Would he know how to use one?
I heard this week's load
is larger than usual because of the makeup show.
You'll manage, right?
What am I supposed to do with this?
What do you think?
You must wash, dry, and collect them.
It says in the manual that
the towels must be boiled so they don't smell.
You do the laundry.
I'm going to tidy up the storage room.
Do you want to switch?
It didn't seem like you could do any heavy lifting.
I bet the laundry will be easier.
Why? Are you offended that
I'm bossing you around?
Don't keep your arms folded.
It looks like you don't want to work.
Take it easy then.
Do I get overtime for this?
Are you kidding me?
Fine. I'll give it a go.
What? Is this broken?
This is bad.
(Mr. Lee)
The phone is off. Connecting to voicemail
after the tone.
What is this?
Hey, sit back down.
This guy has no manners.
It's not time yet.
The same goes for Ms. Oh.
She didn't call us beforehand
to let us know his mother wasn't coming.
How little do they think of us?
What does it matter?
And since I'm here,
I'll take a good look at him.
I'm leaving if he's not here on the dot.
Ms. Gil Eunjo?
Yes?
You're more beautiful in person.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
Oh. You're so pretty
that I was admiring you.
You know that was bordering on sexual harassment?
That wasn't my intention.
Excuse me!
Iced coffee with plenty of ice.
The biggest size.
You're tough.
I tend to be.
You and your temper. Why can't you hold back?
Oh, yeah.
Ow, my belly. Ow, my belly.
Did I eat something bad?
Ow, my belly.
Toilet.
Toilet. Toilet.
Ow, my belly.
Huh? Wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I had to tend to an emergency.
Am I getting a ticket?
Is this your car?
Yes.
It was just delivered to me,
so I took it out for a spin.
But I suddenly got a nasty stomachache.
This is a wanted car.
Pardon?
That's impossible.
I'll show you the paperwork.
I doubt an illegally traded car has legit papers.
It's an illegally traded car?
How can that be?
How could Seonhui's mom do this to me?
It is a wanted car.
You'll have to come to the station with us.
Pardon?
What about my money?
What about the money I paid to buy this car?
Wait. My son.
Wait.
My son's a lawyer.
Mom said to return this.
I could've gone to get it.
Would you like some cucumber salad?
You like it.
No. Mom's not home right now,
and I have dinner plans.
You have plans?
Why are you here at this hour?
I'd taken potato pancakes to Ms. Dong last night.
He brought the plate back.
Carry on then.
No. I was just about to leave.
Hi, Mom.
What?
Calm down and explain slowly.
So where are you right now?
The police station?
Okay. I'll be right there.
What is it, Busik?
I'll come with you.
Why are you going?
It's always something with Busik and his mom.
Wait.
She made them potato pancakes?
Potato?
Oh, my. No. Oh, no.
I heard you're an entrepreneur too.
I deal with luxury goods.
Luxury goods? Why not?
Why are you smirking?
It's nothing.
We run a country club.
Do you play golf?
No.
What a shame.
If I help you,
would you like to learn?
I have absolutely no desire to.
Golf is a must in our world.
What kind of a world is that?
Is it different from this world?
It's at least very different from yours.
Your mother's a moneylender, right?
That's a bit...
But you do need it.
You sometimes need fast cash as a businessman.
Help me out when I'm in need.
To that end, we should bond.
So? Should we go out for drinks?
Oh, is that what this is?
Then aren't you talking to the wrong person?
Pardon?
If you need money, you should talk to my mother.
But the thing is,
don't make that face when you need to borrow.
How will you secure a loan like that?
Listen.
Listen to what?
Moneylender?
Does that sound nicer?
That's right. My mom's a marketplace loan shark.
That's not something to flaunt.
Why not? It's not something to hide either.
You're rather shameless.
Being a loan shark isn't what a human should do.
If loan sharks aren't human, what are they?
Must I spell it out for you?
Listen, man from another world,
is this what people in your world do,
groveling when they need money only to
turn around and do an about-face?
That wasn't called for.
It was because I've seen many of your kind.
What? We should go out for drinks?
Do you do business at hostess bars?
Excuse me?
That's enough.
Who knows? You might
get an interest-free loan if you grovel.
That's enough.
Who are you to butt in?
This is that person,
the marketplace loan shark.
No matter what the people of your world say,
she's led a perfectly honest, healthy life.
You heard everything, right?
Young CEO, my foot.
Who do you think you are?
How dare you!
Stay out of this.
I would love to douse your face with this,
but I'll hold back.
Let's go.
Ms. Oh should clean up her bachelor pool.
Who does he think he is?
You saw, right?
They tremble before money
but look at you and me like scum.
You heard?
He said loan sharks were subhuman.
I'm off.
You're on your own.
Yes, Mr. Byeon. I'll be right there...
Yes.
It's fine. What can you do?
Okay.
Geez.
Why is it so hard to have a meal with this guy?
This is that person,
the marketplace loan shark.
No matter what the people of your world say,
she's led a perfectly honest, healthy life.
I guess I didn't raise her for naught.
You saw, right?
They tremble before money
but look at you and me like scum.
What is this?
The blind date was a bust,
and the dinner got canceled.
How annoying.
My hands are freezing.
I'm going to get frostbite. Man, this is cold.
What was that?
Why's there so much?
Is there always this much?
Darn it.
Why is there so much?
It's so cold.
One might mistake you for Cinderella.
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
So why are you freezing
your hands off doing laundry on a Sunday?
I'm on duty.
Is this here for show?
It's broken.
Use hot water.
There isn't any.
Then at least wear rubber gloves.
Where are they?
What do you think these are?
Oh?
And the boiler's off.
You must press this for the hot water to come on.
Pardon?
Let's see.
Geez.
Do you think soaping alone gets the stain out?
You've wasted your time.
Where do I even start?
I've never done this before.
When will I get all this done?
You should go. You'll ruin your clothes.
Is there a large tub
that'll fit all this laundry?
Probably on the rooftop.
How much will you pay me?
Welcome.
Oh, wow. You're back.
Should I get Ms. Laughter?
No.
I came to see you.
Me?
Yes. I have a favor to ask you.
Me?
Um... Why don't we sit?
Sure.
How can I help you?
I heard you studied business.
I mean, how to run a business.
I majored in business as an undergrad
although I got my doctorate in social psychology.
That being the case,
I'd like you to teach me.
I quit the community center.
Perhaps next semester...
One on one.
What I mean is, a private lesson of sorts.
