The color of the sea is so pretty.
What is this?
Come on.
Like this?
That's nice.
I just remembered something.
I once offered this guy a business class ticket,
but he refused saying he wanted to keep...
the promise he had made to himself.
Yes, I remember saying that.
I bought business class tickets,
but you can refuse again if that's what you want.
I'm going to board the plane now.
Take me with you.
(Episode 11)
(Announcement)
(Personnel Appointment of Kim Jin Hyuk, the face of Donghwa)
(Kim Jin Hyuk)
Jin Hyuk, welcome back to the PR Team.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Thank you.
How does it feel to come back here the second time around?
It feels nice.
I knew he'd be back. He really didn't deserve to get kicked out.
What are you saying?
Jin Hyuk, I wiped your desk clean this morning.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
Mr. Lee, you should also say a word.
Hey, welcome back.
Thank you, everyone.
(Jin Hyuk)
Shouldn't you show me your face now that I'm back?
Congratulations on your reinstatement.
(Congratulations on your reinstatement.)
That's it? Gosh, you're making me feel upset.
You want more?
Do I need to do more than this?
Show me your face.
Come to my office.
I personally think your office will feel too formal.
You're not going to ask me to spend time with you outside again, right?
(Jin Hyuk)
I can't do that on the first day I came back.
You think my office is going to be too formal,
and you don't want to go outside. Then where do you want to meet?
There's a place where employees go that you don't know about.
Let's meet there for a second.
There's no such place like that.
I know every single corner of Donghwa Hotel.
- Do you want to make a bet? - What do you want to bet?
The loser can buy dinner.
Okay, fine. Where should I meet you?
(Kim Jin Hyuk)
First, leave your office,
go to the hotel building, and get on the elevator.
What floor?
The second basement level.
Are you talking about the entrance to the storage room?
We can't meet there. Everyone will see us.
Why are your expectations so low?
This leads to the laundry room and the restaurant kitchen.
Gosh, you know everything.
You really are impressive.
There are a lot of staff here. Is this where you wanted to meet?
Gosh, then I would've asked you to meet in the lobby.
Hurry up and come inside.
Yes, director. You can keep talking.
Am I a director now?
I don't know what to say if that's how you interpreted that.
Now, do you see a door at the end of the hallway?
(Do not open the fire door.)
Now, open the door.
You should be surprised by now.
Do you see Director Kim Jin Hyuk?
No, where are you?
You didn't know about this place, did you?
They must've done construction work here.
The Facility Team takes care of space utilization.
That's why you wouldn't have known.
I think I won the bet.
Well, it is quiet.
It's nice, isn't it? They only use this place for events.
It seems like you know better about the hotel than I do.
We stored equipment here when we held the year-end event.
I see.
You won the bet and you saw my face,
so let's go back.
What's this? Are you leaving after seeing me for a second?
Don't you have a lot to catch up now that you're back?
Yes, but 30 seconds is not enough to see you.
You can't say that I saw you if it's this short.
It's not like there's anything we can do here.
What I'm saying is...
We could meet in person...
during office hours like this and...
This is what office romance is all about.
Office romance?
It'd be so awkward if someone saw us.
There aren't any events, so no one would come here.
I already cleaned up inside yesterday.
I came to rest. Yes.
In here.
Gosh. Hello, Ms. Cha.
Thank you for your work.
What brings you over here?
I'm just going around to see...
if everything is comfortable for our staff.
Please carry on.
Gosh, my legs.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Did you go back to Sokcho?
Of course not.
I'm in the washroom.
Wrap it up and come back.
Okay, I'm almost done.
Okay.
- Hello. - Hello.
Have a good day.
Those are the good times.
(CEO Jung Woo Suk)
It'll only ruin CEO Cha.
I want you to resign as soon as you're done with this.
Everything will be...
Were you surprised?
Let's talk in person.
- Mr. Nam. - Do you want to go to Hongjae-dong?
You'll move to Hongjae-dong at this rate.
I'm seriously considering it.
Living in the same neighborhood as Sun Joo...
makes my life more tiring.
It'd be a lot better to live closer to Jin Hyuk.
Do you want to move together?
If it's not about going to Hongjae-dong,
what did you want to do?
It's about the hotel in Cuba.
I was just about to ask you. Are you not going to take any action?
Aren't you going to try and find out who that Mr. Kim is?
I must find out who was behind it.
I can't make it official and ask the police to investigate.
Also, I don't want the hotel in Cuba...
to become a news topic.
So I gave it a thought,
and I need your help.
Just name it and I'll do it.
I was really surprised.
So was I.
Was it really necessary to go that far?
This definitely isn't something Chairwoman Kim would be happy about.
What matters is the result.
Please go ahead and tell me.
You must have called me because you want something.
You sound confident.
Are you trying to say...
all you did was follow orders?
I don't intend on putting you in trouble with that video.
I want your help,
but I thought you might reject. That's why I showed it to you.
Secretary Cho was also in that video.
Are you talking about the secretary that helps the chairwoman?
I doubt he's still in Korea.
My mother probably had him hidden already.
You must not know my mother very well.
How about this?
Only you and I will know about that video.
But first, why don't you ask the chairwoman what she's thinking?
Whether she'll protect you...
or blame you for everything.
I think it'll be the latter.
We can discuss again after you meet with her.
If you mention the video before I do,
I won't hesitate any longer.
I'll forward it to Ms. Cha right away.
Here. Let's celebrate Jin Hyuk's return.
- Welcome back. - Thank you.
The whole neighborhood feels bright with Jin Hyuk back.
Thank you.
Do you know how quiet Dae Chan was without you?
- I thought he had depression. - Really?
No, no, no. I was just melancholy.
I feel lonely in the winter.
Hey, part-time worker.
Get to work.
Are you nagging at me because you're lonely?
I'm losing hair from all the stress you're giving me.
Hey, that's mine. I never said you could wear that.
You should share. Why are you so cheap?
Stop fighting.
Also, stop calling me a part-timer.
You should call me a partner. It sounds better.
Sure, but a partner doesn't get paid.
Did you buy your mother's birthday gift?
- I'm thinking about it. - Are you talking about our mom?
- Please. - How can you not know?
Let me in on this. Can we say we bought it together?
Sure.
Will we have a birthday party for her?
This time, we'll take her out.
Good thinking, Jin Hyuk.
I'll use the free hotel stay I got as a reward,
then have her eat at the hotel too.
It'll be nice, right? I hope they'll like it.
She'll love it.
He's such a good son.
If I can get a son like Jin Hyuk,
I think it'd be worth getting married.
What's this? Marriage? Are you seeing someone?
- No. - Are you getting married?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
All right, let's celebrate Jin Hyuk's return.
- Welcome. - Wait, wait.
For Dae Chan's future wedding.
Wait. For my mom's...
- birthday. - Happy birthday.
(Jangsoo Fruit Shop)
(CEO Cha Soo Hyun and a mysterious man got off the car together.)
- Dad. - You startled me.
- Can you go out? - Yes.
Let's go.
- What about the store? - I came out for a walk.
It's boring to stay just at the store.
You have to head back soon, right?
No. I still have 30 minutes until lunch break is over.
I wanted to talk, but your mother's always home, so...
Why didn't you ask me to see you at the store?
I wanted to check out your office too.
Jin Hyuk.
Yes?
I couldn't keep on acting like I didn't know.
I think your mom's worried too.
You and...
the CEO...
I should've told you earlier, but I couldn't find the right time.
I felt uneasy when you transferred to Sokcho.
I couldn't ask you why you were suddenly being moved.
You talked about loving people and putting in effort.
You probably said that because things were tough with her.
Do you think it'll be okay?
What do you mean?
The hotel looked nice and big.
This means she has a few them, including the one in Cuba.
She's a famous person.
I have my trust in you, Jin Hyuk.
- But... - Dad.
I gave it a lot of thought. You're worried too, right?
But I decided...
to keep on going with her.
I don't know how far we'll go,
but I'm willing to go as far as possible.
What if it goes wrong?
Fine. When two people like each other,
worrying about what will happen in the future isn't sincere.
Okay. I wanted to know how you felt...
so I could make up my mind.
To either root for you or stop you.
Root for me, Dad.
Your lunch break is almost over.
You should get back to work.
Mr. Nam, no, Nam Myung Sik. It's hard for me to...
talk casually to you when you're dressed like that.
This is just so awkward.
How do you think I feel? It feels suffocating every morning.
Let's get to business after we eat.
Eat with your mouth, and listen with your ears.
Get me the phone records for this number.
You seem like the old Mr. Nam I know.
(Kim Jin Tae)
- Is something wrong? - Do me this favor.
I must look into it, but it has to be done secretly.
Why are you so serious about someone else's matter?
- Give me some time. - Okay.
By the way, let's say I beat someone up because he deserved it.
He cheated on his wife, so I beat him up.
- What will happen? - You'll be arrested.
I see.
Eat up since it's been a while since we ate out.
You lost weight.
I'm on a diet.
Why are you on a diet when you're studying?
Even you are on a diet.
That's because I don't have an appetite.
Why not?
Because of the divorce?
No.
When you get married later,
what if I'm criticized for being divorced?
I won't meet anyone like that.
Dad didn't cheat on you because you're not pretty.
He's the strange one.
I don't agree with you.
I'm good at studying, you know.
I know. You don't even need my help.
That's because I want to be like you.
You're cool, Mom.
I want to work at a nice company like you...
and become a cool person.
That means I like you.
More than anyone.
Thank you. That just boosted my energy.
So don't be discouraged or anything.
I raised you by feeding you organic food.
Why are you suddenly mentioning organic food right now?
I know.
When you become a grandma later on,
I'll feed you organic food too.
Here, have some of this.
- Do you like it? - It's delicious!
I also went to the playground in Hongjae-dong.
That's going to disappear soon.
- You're disappointed, aren't you? - Of course.
I practically grew up at that playground.
(Soo Hyun)
I promised to buy you dinner.
You remembered?
I mean, you lost the bet to buy dinner,
but you didn't say anything, and I was wondering what to do.
This is one of those awkward situations.
I'm so relieved you remembered.
Anyone can forget. Why do you feel so relieved about that?
You have to buy dinner so I can meet you.
You don't even keep your promise, and don't know how I feel.
Still, I miss you every single day.
What choice do I have? I'll just have to understand.
I wanted to come to this playground with you before it disappeared...
and that's why I made an excuse to buy dinner to come see you.
It seems like you're the one who doesn't know how I feel.
My goodness.
It's my fault.
I was reminded of this place while I was looking at the garden in Cuba.
This playground is a very meaningful place to you...
and I wondered how you would feel if it was gone.
I felt sad.
Are you disappointed?
About the garden in Cuba.
That elder man told me this.
He started his love with his wife in that garden...
and completed his love there as well.
It is disappointing this playground will be gone,
but it's also the place that allowed me to start my love.
I can let go of it happily.
Don't your legs hurt?
You have a knack for breaking romantic moments.
Let's go. You have to buy dinner.
Where shall we go?
What about going for moon snails?
That place isn't good for your mental health.
Let's go somewhere else today.
Do you have time to meet today?
I have something to give you.
What shall we eat?
Since you're buying...
- This place is perfect for udon. - Correct.
Then we'll begin with udon.
Don't slurp your noodle again.
It's difficult to do that with udon anyway.
Can we also have some soju?
Sure. Let's do everything you want to do tonight.
Come to think of it,
I've never seen you drunk.
I'm a good drinker, but I just don't drink often.
Then is tonight the night we finally go crazy?
- Deal. - Deal.
Ma'am, we'll have a bowl of udon and chicken gizzards.
Okay.
- And a bottle of soju. - Okay.
That sounds nice.
Why aren't you drinking?
Since I'll drive you home tonight.
I'm getting drunk on my own, and it's so boring.
Still, we have no choice.
- Jin Hyuk. - Yes?
Do you know?
I am so happy these days.
Me too.
I am so, so, so happier than you.
How are you so, so, so happier than me?
We ate ramyeon and udon together,
and we even had moon snails and chicken gizzards together.
This is my first time eating chicken gizzards.
- And? Did you like it? - I did.
- It's amazing, isn't it? - It's amazing.
You're even cuter when you're drunk.
I am the cute type.
To tell you the truth, I am a very cute type of person,
but people don't know it.
Who cares if people don't know? I'm the only one that matters.
I'm...
very happy.
I know.
I am so happy...
that you are by my side.
I feel very happy too.
But it worries me.
What does?
In case this is all a dream.
When I open my eyes in the morning,
I wonder if you're still here today.
What if that was all a dream from last night?
I keep checking...
and feel relieved.
And it also scares me.
In case you disappear.
Why would I disappear?
I'm here right now.
In case you're taken away.
Like those people...
who used to be my friends.
I'm afraid you might disappear too.
Soo Hyun.
Yes?
I have a set of coordinates now.
- Coordinates? - Yes.
My place is a one-meter perimeter around you.
That's where I'll always be.
It's nice.
Don't you think a meter is too far away?
Is that so?
How about this then?
A distance of 10cm.
I like it. It's perfect.
10cm is the best.
Yes, it's perfect.
Hurry out already.
You've been there long enough.
- Jin Hyuk, open up. - No, go ahead.
Eat it. Good boy.
Gosh, you're adorable. You have an adorable mouth too.
So cute.
Why?
- Are we going for more drinks? - Of course.
Mr. Nam, drive me to the office.
(Jin Hyuk)
Jin Hyuk, did you get in well last night?
You're right
I may be drunk
This may be a mistake
When morning comes
I may not remember what happened
And be awkward around you
But there is something tonight
That I must absolutely say
I apologize for my fragile state
But don't think I'm saying this just because I'm drunk
Stop it. I remember everything.
Whenever I'm in front of you, despite my preparations
I always say the opposite of what I mean to say
And regret it all as soon as I say it
But now I will confess
That I have loved you from the start
I love you so dearly
Even if my declaration of love
Seems cheesy or untrue
It is not something I'm just saying
- Never - Never again
I'll take a rain check on the second verse.
Never again will this happen
Late bloomers sure are the scariest.
What are you doing up so early?
How could one not wake up to that singing?
Hold on. Mom, Jin Hyuk...
- How about some allowance? - How much?
- 50 dollars. - Dad!
100 dollars.
- What did he do? - Well,
he wants to quit his job and enter a singing contest.
But you're not that good of a singer.
I know.
- That's why I won't audition. - I see.
Knowing Ms. Cha's personality, she'll eventually find out...
who's responsible for what happened with the hotel in Cuba.
And it's making me feel nervous.
You did something like that?
Chairwoman Kim.
Why did you come here to talk about that?
Secretary Cho was there too.
Who's Secretary Cho?
Ma'am, you can't do this to me.
What do you mean I can't do this to you?
But first, why don't you ask the chairwoman what she's thinking?
Whether she'll protect you...
or blame you for everything.
I can't believe this.
I put everything on the line to help...
I really don't understand what you're talking about.
Why are you here at Taegyeong...
talking about matters regarding Ms. Cha?
(Business Prospect of Donghwa Hotel)
What is it that you want?
I guess I won't need to ask you how things went with the chairwoman.
Gather all the shares from the shareholders and give them to me.
I can't do anything with the shares that I currently have.
I need to have at least more shares than Soo Hyun...
in order to do anything including protecting you.
Bring them at a good price, and don't worry about money.
I'd like you to hurry.
I need to hold a general shareholders' meeting.
A general shareholders' meeting?
There's an important agenda.
Donghwa Hotel's become too big for Soo Hyun to manage on her own.
It's time you hire professionals. What do you think?
Then are you saying...
you're going to dismiss Ms. Cha from the CEO position?
I'll have to see about that.
First of all, I'm thinking about making a position for me there.
As a co-CEO?
It's not a bad picture, right?
I'm sure you already know,
but even with the shares of all the directors in Taegyeong,
you still won't be able to become the co-CEO.
Those who are in favor of Ms. Cha will be against it.
I'll take care of them.
Just quietly get me the shares of all the directors in Taegyeong.
It'd be even nicer if you kept this a secret from my mom.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
- My goodness. - You've been here for 30 minutes.
Gosh, it's so cold.
- Are you trying to freeze to death? - What? I was just passing by.
Is your restaurant doing well? I'll be off now.
Okay, fine.
Let's just say you were passing by.
Seoul City is huge,
and of all places, you were passing by my restaurant.
I'll pretend like that's true.
My goodness, wait a minute.
I'll go inside on my own.
You must've been cold.
Do you have rice?
Yes, of course.
Jin Myung, please get her a nice, warm bowl of rice.
- Okay. - Dae Chan.
- Yes? - Is she your girlfriend?
- Well, she's... - I'm just a customer.
I knew it. You guys don't look together.
Yes, I guess we don't.
I wonder why that just made me feel upset.
Seeing you often makes it feel like we're a family, Ms. Secretary.
Stop calling me that.
I got off work, but you're making me feel like I'm at work.
- I don't know your name. - Jang Mi Jin.
You must be really interested in me seeing that you memorized my name.
We met on a dating app, and when we met in person,
you practically cursed at me. So of course, I memorize your name.
You really hold a huge grudge. I already apologized for that.
I know. That's why I'm giving you a warm bowl of rice.
I'm paying for it.
Do you not receive money for rice from attractive women?
Of course not.
But Jin Myung, do you see any attractive customers today?
- There's one right here. - Okay, fine.
- Goodbye. - Come on.
I'm joking.
Why do you keep holding my wrist?
Can I hold your hand?
You really are a playboy, Mr. Lee Dae Chan.
Lee Dae Chan.
Gosh, it's been so long since anyone called me by my full name.
Jin Myung, bring me a bottle of soju.
Soju.
It's been so long since I last visited your office.
It hasn't changed at all, has it?
Dad, is there something going on?
No. Why?
You suddenly asked me for a private room.
It's your first time asking me to do that.
I need to meet someone important.
But there are so many reporters who have their eyes on me.
Are you sure there's nothing wrong?
It's an important matter, but it's nothing to worry about.
Don't worry.
Okay, then.
I should get going now.
- Bye, now. - Bye.
Your daughter's the CEO of this hotel, right?
Yes.
Seeing that you asked me to meet at such a private place,
it seems like you're about to say something sensitive.
Congressman Lee.
What do you think about merging with our party?
This is very sudden for me.
I'd like to know why.
You know both our parties can't guarantee that we'll win...
this year's presidential election if we enter separately.
So are you asking our party to support...
Moonhwa Party in winning the election?
No.
I'm asking to join forces.
I'm not quite sure about that.
I won't be entering the presidential election.
Let me tell you something under the condition...
that you keep it confidential before we announce our merge.
I'll drop out of the election...
and announce that I'll support you.
Why are you offering me something like this?
I won't be able to enter...
the presidential election anyway.
So I'm asking you to protect Moonhwa Party.
I really don't understand what you mean.
I don't want the policy line of our party to be harmed.
That's the one and only condition I have for our merge.
Woo Suk, what kind of nonsense are you talking about right now?
Please help me convince the directors...
that are in favor of Soo Hyun so that I can become the co-CEO.
You really are your mother's son.
Uncle.
I don't deserve to be the director of this company.
Why do you think I gave up my vocation of teaching students...
and came here?
It was because of guilt.
I'm here because I feel guilty of having convinced...
Congressman Cha to marry Soo Hyun off to you.
I feel like the least I can do is to protect Soo Hyun...
from your mother.
It wasn't your fault.
No, it is. Congressman Cha trusted me married Soo Hyun off...
because I told him that you'll be different.
I told him you'll be different from my brother and sister-in-law...
and that you'll cherish and take care of Soo Hyun.
But do you remember how you were?
It's not just our family that ended up cutting ties.
After that incident, I couldn't meet Congressman Cha...
because I felt too ashamed.
I need to enter Donghwa Hotel no matter what.
Please help me.
Gosh.
It's been a long time since I attended the board meeting.
But I guess I should attend this time around.
Don't even dream of it.
Don't you know what this hotel means to Soo Hyun?
Let me treat you to a meal this time.
Hey, let's go outside and eat some mung-bean pancakes.
My gosh, let's just have some sashimi here.
Look at how bloated I've become because I didn't get to eat sashimi.
Your face was always this round.
Don't blame it on sashimi.
My gosh, I'm to spend money. But you're really not helping.
Jin Hyuk.
He's the guy.
You should say hello. This is...
Hello, I'm Soo Hyun's dad.
It's nice to meet you, sir. My name is Kim Jin Hyuk.
I work in the PR Team.
We're going to eat mung-bean pancakes. Do you want to join?
I really love mung-bean pancakes, but I'm working right now.
Okay, then. Let's have a meal together one day.
Okay, sir. I'll be there whenever you call.
Okay.
I wonder how cold it's going to be when we get off work.
- Jin Hyuk. - Yes?
How about a drink?
I need to buy a gift for my mom's birthday.
- How about next week? - Hey.
How can we set a date for next week...
when we don't even know what will happen tomorrow?
You should think of today as something more precious.
He's the clingy type.
Do you only listen to me at work?
Aren't you going home, Jin Ho?
- Mr. Lee. - Yes?
Did something bad happen?
You don't look so well.
No, I'm fine. I think I'm getting a cold.
How about this design for your mother?
She doesn't like flashy designs.
- I'll take this. - Okay.
When I open my eyes in the morning,
I wonder if you're still here today.
What if that was all a dream from last night?
I keep checking...
and feel relieved. And it also scares me.
In case you disappear.
You have to bring your camera.
I'll check how much you practiced.
It's not as cold as I thought it'd be.
Did you practice your angles?
I did, but it's really hard.
Adjust the exposure first.
This time, get the sky and the trees together.
Okay.
Exposure.
How can you look so beautiful while taking pictures?
Let me capture you, Soo Hyun.
Me?
You look really pretty right now. Beautiful.
You look beautiful no matter how I take you.
Try leaning on that tree. Go like this.
Like this?
- I feel awkward. - 1, 2...
You look beautiful.
Should we take a picture of our feet?
- Our feet? - Yes.
1, 2, 3.
Do you remember the car accident from the day we first met in Cuba?
When your camera broke and you got upset?
Yes, that day.
What about it?
You don't remember the book I was reading, do you?
I remember the one from the airport.
Yes, that's the one.
A metasequoia tree is mentioned in that book.
In it, a poet...
writes a letter to the person he loves,
then he buries it under a metasequoia tree.
The poet's teacher finds out later and digs it up.
He was going to deliver the letter to the recipient...
since the poet failed to do so.
But that's where the story ends.
I'm curious every time I read it.
What could've been written on that letter?
"I learned how to love through textbooks."
"Things look clear to me now." Something like that?
Come on.
Why didn't the poet hand over the letter in person?
Why did he bury it under a tree?
Did they break up?
The poet was terminally ill.
You're bringing down the mood.
It's a sad ending.
How is it sad?
Just because a person disappears doesn't mean the love disappears.
It's true love.
You said you'd help me get some fresh air,
then told me a sad story.
I suddenly don't feel so happy.
I can't let you be unhappy.
I should make you happy. This is a big problem.
What's this?
You suddenly feel happier now, right?
A whole lot.
It's pretty.
I'll upgrade these rings once every year for you.
Why?
Are we going to change our rings every year?
Because they're not as good as your other jewelry.
That's true.
This one is the most beautiful.
My heart...
is full of you.
Unlike the friends you used to like,
I can't go away far or disappear.
All I think about is you.
Until...
the day you take your last breath,
I'll be by your side.
I'll do everything for you one by one.
How exciting.
Shall we take a picture to commemorate it?
(Matching rings)
Even if everyone else forgot,
Jin Hyuk should know.
He never missed anyone's birthday before.
I'm so disappointed.
- What are you disappointed about? - You startled me.
Why are you home so soon?
Of course I'm home early. I closed the store.
Are you closing the store today?
Why? Are you sick?
Jin Hyuk wants us to come to the hotel where he works.
He wants to have lunch there together.
Why all of a sudden?
Maybe he's buying you seaweed soup for your birthday.
Jin Hyuk never disappoints.
- Don't you agree? - Pack some comfortable clothes.
- We're not coming home tonight. - Why not?
He told us to stay at the hotel. He received a voucher.
For that article in the magazine last time.
He should just use it for himself later.
What would he use that for?
Besides going with us.
- Hey. - What?
Do you know what day today is?
Of course I do.
It's Dad's birthday.
You just stay here and make yourself some ramyeon.
Your dad and I are going out.
Goodness, it's no use raising a child.
Do you want some too?
- Are you having fun? - Yes.
Happy birthday to Jang Soo
Come over here, you idiot.
- It's time for your lunch meeting. - Let's go.
My parents and Jin Myung are coming. Do you want to have lunch together?
It's okay. Go and have a nice and luxurious lunch with your family.
Why don't we go Dutch and eat at a restaurant today?
- An Italian restaurant. - Sounds good.
What about some Kung Pao Chicken?
We just never click.
I'm having lunch with my parents today.
Please excuse me.
- Hye In, how about pasta? - Sounds great.
How about Kung Pao Chicken?
- Don't you prefer pasta? - I prefer Kung Pao Chicken.
Even this hotel elevator feels so elegant.
Don't you think?
You're making it obvious it's your first time. Let's be quiet.
Everyone is like this during their first experience.
Those flowers look pretty.
Are you sure it's the 13th floor?
What was the name of the restaurant? Is it in English?
They'll know if we ask where the Italian restaurant is.
Are you going to Piace Resto?
Oh...
- Yes. - Yes.
You can get off on the 13th floor. It's on your right.
Okay. Thank you.
This article. It's Jin Hyuk, isn't it?
It's probably someone who looks like him.
Mom.
Jin Hyuk.
Happy birthday, Mom.
Were you upset this morning?
I was a bit upset.
Are you going to keep teasing me like this?
Oh, my family. Have you been waiting for me?
You never enter gently, do you?
- Let's go in. I'm hungry. - Let's go.
- How is it? - It's good.
- Mom. - Yes?
My goodness.
We're already eating at a hotel.
You didn't have to use more money.
"You didn't have to use more money."
She always does that when she's happy.
It seems like the only birthday gift,
so you should thank him and take it.
I wasn't expecting anything from Jin Myung. But what about you?
- I bought it with Jin Myung. - Right.
Come on, I don't believe you.
Gosh, it's so pretty.
Oh my gosh.
Jin Hyuk, what do you think? Does it look pretty?
Jin Hyuk and I really bought it together.
You didn't even receive your paycheck yet. Stop lying.
I asked Dae Chan for a pre-payment.
Please excuse us. Ms. Cha has sent this as a gift.
It's a bottle of wine that will go well with your meal.
- Wine? - Thank you, sir.
Also, she asked me to help you use any facility in the hotel freely.
That's great. You two are spending the night here.
Do you also have a sky lounge here?
Yes. The night view is incredible.
I will make a reservation for you at the sky lounge bar.
There's no need.
We might ruin the mood of this hotel if we wander around here.
What are you talking about?
Thank you for the wine. Please thank Ms. Cha for us.
Yes, I'll do that.
Would you like to do a wine tasting first?
What? A test?
I'll prepare it for you.
- Is it your first time having wine? - Well...
I've had similar drinks made from grapes.
Yes, you are correct.
Yes?
I did everything you asked me to do, ma'am.
Thank you.
They refused to use the other facilities though.
They're more than grateful for the wine.
Really? Thank you.
I believe they are staying here for the night.
Shall I upgrade their room?
No. They might find that uncomfortable as well.
Just check the room they're staying at.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's have a meal together one day.
Okay, sir. I'll be there whenever you call.
I received a call from Mr. Choi.
He has sold all his shares.
Are you really going through with this?
I will do it.
Becoming the CEO of Donghwa Hotel.
Do not use Taegyeong's funds. Use my personal funds for this.
- Yes, sir. - And...
keep your eyes on Mr. Choi.
Yes, sir.
Jin Hyuk prepared such a nice room.
Honey, do you see that view? It's amazing.
- Honey. Honey? - What?
What are you thinking of?
I'm feeling so tired after a long day.
Honey.
I feel kind of uncomfortable.
About what?
It seems like Jin Hyuk and that CEO are in a deep relationship.
It's his life. Leave him alone.
They don't match with each other.
Jin Hyuk is handsome and she is pretty. What's wrong about that?
She's the CEO of this luxurious hotel.
I'm the CEO of Jangsoo Fruit Shop too.
Get some rest.
I'll go get some fresh air.
Where are you going? You might get lost.
I'll be back soon. Do you need anything?
I'm full. Hurry on back.
Okay.
Sir?
May I help you?
Thank you so much for today.
I felt so happy.
I don't know if the wine suited their taste.
Maybe I should've sent a traditional drink.
My dad was extremely pleased.
He loved it, and almost drank the whole bottle himself.
I'm glad.
Your family seemed so happy around each other.
It's something my family doesn't have.
Don't get so serious suddenly.
Why are you thinking that all of a sudden?
It's the truth.
Your mother seemed like such a nice lady too.
What about my dad?
I only saw him briefly.
But I think he may be a bit blunt.
You're correct. I guess others see him that way too.
Are you on your way home?
Yes.
It's been so long since I went into an empty home.
Do you go to an empty home every night?
It must be lonely.
Not really.
Should I wait for you at home?
Let's talk later. Someone's at my door.
All right.
Mr. Kim.
It feels odd to be here...
when I have no ties to this neighborhood.
I was just about to call you when you appeared.
What for?
It's because...
of the woman...
that I fell for at first sight...
and am still in love with.
What is this about?
(Encounter)
If I must endure hardship in order to protect her,
I will not run away from it, whatever it may be.
I guess we just have to get the hotel in check now.
Thanks to you, I now feel...
less fear.
Why would you be bothered when I'm being such a gentleman?
This is unfair.
It's either your bravery or my desperate efforts.
One will lose.
I will protect her in my own way.
