Sa-rang, we're here.
We'll stay here until you're born.
We'll stay very close to your father.
Was there a need to fly to Tokyo? He can't check the passenger list.
That's why I went. He probably had someone follow me.
I had to fool him completely.
This is the best way to have my baby without interference.
It's too hard to protect the baby where Jung-woo's watching.
This'll do for now, but I hope you don't run into him in Seoul.
Don't worry. The foot of the candle is always darkest.
You've gotten good at tying neckties.
I hope so, after all that practice.
Goodness gracious.
She keeps refusing to go to the hospital with me.
She doesn't want to waste the money.
Diabetes is an illness that requires a lot of care.
Yeah, I'm worried.
I think she's in a lot of shock.
She won't have time to look for a condo now.
That's what's important here.
Speaking of which, I think we should live here and take care of her.
What?
I mean, how can we move out and leave her to care for herself?
But it's already been decided. Your parents won't agree.
I'll talk to my parents.
I'll go with you.
No, I'll go alone.
You go tell your mother that we won't be moving out.
I think she's making herself sicker by worrying about living alone.
Ga-eun.
Go on.
Goodness, goodness.
What did Ga-eun say? She's not moving out, right?
It's a success. She says she won't move out.
I knew she'd decide that. Pretending to die is hard work.
You sure you won't be found out? You have to watch your diet now.
Don't worry. I'll handle it.
By the way, I'm thrilled that tramp is now far, far away.
She'll be causing us no more problems.
Good. She better not.
I want to sit in the lap of luxury now.
I get angry just thinking of the groveling I did to that family.
What? You're not going to move out?
There's no other way.
She's got an illness that requires attention and care.
And my hunch came true right on the dot.
I knew she'd have something up her sleeve.
Mom.
Look how she took money from us yet plans to keep you with her.
Mom, she didn't choose to be sick. Don't say that.
I can read your mother-in-law like an open book.
She's using her head to keep you with her.
She wouldn't fake an illness. She's not that kind of person.
She's more than capable of that.
So you're determined to live with her?
Yes. I have no other choice.
Do what you want! Not my problem if you have a hard life.
Did you find out who the stockholders are?
It's taking some time to find out the minor ones as well.
I'll have a list ready within the week.
Alright.
We need to know every last detail about Sun Apparel.
Impeccable preparation will help our plans go off without a hitch.
Yes, sir.
We should've acted sooner but Mi-ran threw off our schedule.
Here are the books you wanted.
Thanks.
Why books on fashion design?
I'm gonna study it. Sun Apparel's a clothing company.
You're after the company?
Jung-woo is, so why shouldn't I?
When he finally comes to me, I have to help him steal it away.
That's my final goal. I won't lose anything anymore.
I'll steal if I have to.
That's what I'm willing to do for Sa-rang.
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
'And so the tiger let the mouse go.'
How is it, Sa-rang? Can you hear me alright?
Hi, Min-ju. What's up?
Documents?
Sorry to ask the pregnant girl, but it's urgent.
Consider it exercise and come out.
It's true. My daughter's friend will give us a discount for sure.
Dancing is the best form of exercise.
You... you...!
Mother, what is this?
A thank you gift for attending the birthday bash.
We should give it to Jung-hee.
Did you eat a lot? Was it buffet style?
Forget the food. How'd that girl get a baby boy so quickly?
There you go again about a baby. I want one, too.
I know. I should've asked how she did it.
Mother, there's no special way.
Each woman is different with a different constitution.
You eat only the best organic food and things good for your health.
And I don't nag you because you might get stressed.
And you say getting pregnant is based on one's constitution?
We haven't even been married a year.
What's the rush, Mother?
See, you don't get pregnant because of that attitude.
In the old days, you'd be kicked out if there was no grandson.
You'd be blamed for all the bad luck and abandoned.
Some people choose not to have children immediately.
Stop talking back. You've got no excuse, you know.
Mother.
Know what my friends say?
They ask why I don't have a grandchild yet.
They gossip that there must be something wrong with you.
It gets me so spitting mad I don't wanna meet them.
And then there's your parents.
They should be apologizing and taking you to hospitals, that's what.
I'll try harder, Mother.
Geez.
That family of yours lacks real manners.
Poor Jung-woo is breaking his back working for you.
Makes me so mad and frustrated.
You crazy brat! Stupid, stupid girl.
America? You feel good tricking me like that?
I told you I was gonna make Jung-woo come back to me.
To accomplish that, I couldn't abort the baby.
What?
To think people used to praise you for being a smart one.
What's wrong with you? Huh?
You so determined to crash and burn?
It's my life. I'll handle it.
What?
Either help me or pretend we never met today.
But don't get in my way.
I don't want your interference, you hear?
Baby, what's that?
Mi-ran's things. What else?
Ah.
Mi-ran's things...
What? But she's in America.
America, my butt.
She was totally hiding out in Seoul. Didn't abort the baby either.
What? She didn't abort it?
It was all an act to fool Park Jung-woo.
That cruel thing. Who the hell does she take after?
Are you serious?
Think I'd lie about my own daughter?
I was gonna drag her home but she had someone to meet.
I settled for bringing her stuff for now.
I'm so unbelievably upset.
Your daughter's got guts, that's for sure.
She managed to hide the baby from Park Jung-woo.
Shut it.
Don't even think of using this to extort money from Jung-woo.
Got it?
Baby, I went to prison because of that jerk.
I get goosebumps thinking of him.
See the bumps?
Don't worry.
Jung-woo, drink this vegetable juice.
Thanks.
You always come home at midnight. You're not Cinderella, you know.
I see you less now than while we were dating.
So are you miffed at me, Ms. Ga-eun?
Maybe. This isn't the marriage life I imagined.
Even your father works nights these days.
I can't say I'm going home early just 'cause I'm a newlywed.
Fine. I'll forgive you since I'm so nice.
That's my sweet wife.
Huh?
What is it?
Why are you so thinned?
Where'd your chubby cheeks go? And what's with the dark circles?
You stressed out?
Not really. I'm just easily tired these days.
You sure you're not sick?
I'm fine. Get ready for work.
Since it's finally warmer, let's clear out the balcony.
We'll bring in all the stuff and do some spring cleaning.
It must be quite a sight, with everything covered with mold.
Um, Mother?
What? What is it?
You must've forgotten what I told you yesterday.
I have some places to go today, including the orphanage.
That orphanage you love to pieces?
I don't understand you.
Think you're an angel, wasting your money like that?
It's no trouble.
And I'm not volunteering today. I have other business.
I'll go real quick and come back to prepare dinner, okay?
Whatever. When did you ever listen to me?
How can you get pregnant when you're thinking of useless things
instead of praying for a baby?
You've been dating for a while. Aren't you done sizing her up yet?
Sizing what up? How embarrassing.
Uncle, can you be more specific?
Stop trying to weasel out of this.
I'm talking about Yoo Young-eun. When are you two marrying?
Marrying?
That's right.
We gotta introduce her to your father and have the parents meet.
You and my father might be hurrying this along,
but her family thinks she's too young and they want to sit on it.
But what about our needs?
Should I give them a call?
Or talk to them over lunch?
Please don't. You'll only make things worse.
I'll talk to them so please just be patient.
Good morning.
Director, good morning.
Young-eun, can I have a word?
What is with your behavior these days?
What? What do you mean?
What is our relationship exactly?
Our relationship? We're dating.
You left out the key point. We're pretending to date.
You're way harsh.
You're still so cold even though we've been dating for months now.
You seem to have forgotten that our relationship is contracted.
We're not really dating.
But, sir...
If you want to date for real, find another chump.
I'll let you break the contract.
Get back to work.
What brings you here? You missed me terribly, huh?
That's one reason. Here, look at this.
- What is it? - A projected image of Sung-eun.
What?
He's part of a search program sponsored by the police.
They used his old picture and our family's faces to draw this.
Yeah?
Gotta plaster this on the streets and on the internet.
It's only a matter of time before we find him.
It's delicious.
What's wrong? Eat some more.
Eat more of what? There's nothing to eat.
Stop being so picky.
How's Ga-eun doing?
Have you met her parents or her recently?
What about Jung-woo?
Well... she calls occasionally, but that's about it.
Are you curious? I could find out through my connections.
What connections? You only know gamblers and crooks.
Crooks?
Am I wrong?
Yesterday while I was napping Cho Kyungchul cleaned out our fridge.
That kid leads a hard life. He's just trying to survive.
Let's not be so hard on him.
Stop it already. You're giving me a headache.
Mom, why don't you drop by Ga-eun's?
Why?
Find out how Jung-woo's faring with her family and with her.
I need information to plan my next steps.
Alright then. I'll go tomorrow.
Don't slip up about the baby. I'm begging you.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Sorry, my butt.
Ga-eun, I'm here, too.
Hi, Jung-hee.
Sorry I'm late. I tried to hurry.
Both of you go rest. I'll take over from here.
Alright. I ache all over from working so long.
You wrap things up.
There's a lot left. What if it takes her all night?
Isn't it time to pick up Sae-rom? Get going.
It's fine, Jung-hee. I can do it alone.
Something wrong? Are you sick?
No. The smell's just really strong.
What the...? Putting on a regular show to get out of working, eh?
Think it's indigestion?
Why do I have an upset stomach?
Wait, what's the date today?
Ga-eun, Jung-woo's home.
Coming, Mother.
Where's Jung-hee?
She went home.
She can't stay here when she's got her own husband to feed.
Mother, can't you stop doing this?
What do you mean? It's better than being idle.
I'm not forcing Ga-eun to help me. I'll do it alone.
Mother, the thing is...
Here I am peeling garlic and she just goes into her room.
Goodness.
What are you doing? Go get changed already.
Jung-woo.
You still calling him by name, huh?
After I told you not to, you still can't break the habit?
Gonna call him by name your whole life?
I'm sorry, Mother. I'll stop.
What? What did you say?
Pregnant? You're really pregnant?
Really?
I am.
Ga-eun...
I didn't go to the hospital yet, but the pregnancy test says I am.
Let's go tell my mother.
Hold up. Let me check at the hospital first.
Why? You took a pregnancy test.
But you never know. She'll be disappointed if I'm not.
You're right.
Ga-eun, finally our baby.
I'm happy beyond words.
I feel like I just gained the world.
Thanks. Thank you so much, Ga-eun.
You're welcome. And thank you, too.
Ten days left until I get to meet Sa-rang.
Jung-woo, that means ten days until you come back to me.
How will you react when you meet Sa-rang?
What? Are you serious?
Yes, Mother. They said I'm pregnant.
I'm pregnant.
Really? You're certain?
Yes, I just came from the obstetrician.
Look, Mother. It's the baby.
Goodness gracious.
Hooray! Hooray!
So my constant prayers finally paid off, eh?
They did, Mother. It's all thanks to you.
You bet it is.
I've got tons to do now. Gotta call our relatives and brag.
You call your parents.
No, wait. Better yet, go visit them.
They'll be thrilled.
- May I, Mother? - Of course. Go on.
Really? You're pregnant?
I am, Mom.
Goodness! That's fabulous news.
You were always praying for a child. God must've heard you.
Wait, is there anything you're craving? Anything at all?
I'm not sure. It hasn't really hit me yet.
That's 'cause it's your first.
You start craving something, you tell Jung-woo or me pronto.
I will, Mom.
First let's build up your strength.
Lady, we have beef bones, right?
Yes, ma'am.
That's a load off your chest. Was your mother happy?
Of course.
She wanted to know the due date and she's already counting down.
I see. So I'll finally be a grandfather?
But I'm worried about Ga-eun. She was so sickly when younger.
I'm looking into everything that's good for her health.
I'll order a tonic for her. Pick it up and have her drink it.
And make sure she takes care.
Yes, sir.
Congrats, Sis.
People tell me the first nephew is so precious.
I'm so excited. I finally get to be an aunt.
Yeah.
Call me if you need anything. I'll deliver it right to you.
Bye.
Your sister is pregnant? Good news in this time of low fertility.
Congratulate her for me.
This is bad news for me.
My anxious parents now have a grandchild.
They'll pressure me even more.
Ah, well...
They keep asking me when they'll get to meet you.
You need to keep the contract terms before you tell me we're contracted.
I don't believe I thanked you for taking care of Mister Cho and his friend.
It's fine except neither is very experienced as a chauffeur.
Anyway, thank you for the gift.
It's not much. How's Ga-eun doing these days?
Is she well?
Mi-ran's always worrying about Ga-eun.
Of course she's well. She'll be a mother soon.
A mother?
Yes, she's pregnant. Five weeks now.
Baby.
Terrible news.
What is it? Calm down and tell me.
How can I calm down?
We're done for. Completely.
What is it, baby?
Did you hear something from Ga-eun's mother?
I did, and it's huge news.
What is it?
Ga-eun's pregnant.
What?
That's not big news.
It's about time. They got married ages ago.
I thought it was something serious.
This isn't serious?
If Jung-woo has a child with his wife, think he'll care about Mi-ran's baby?
Yoo Ga-eun. Yoo Ga-eun! Yoo Ga-eun!
I've waited so long for my moment.
I was patient and waited for Sa-rang's birth.
Yet you stand in my way again?
I won't let you.
Yoo Ga-eun, I won't let you get away with this.
