Two Mothers
Episode 10
Donghyeon, it's me.
Long time no see.
For 6 years, I thought of you every night
so I wouldn't forget you. Did you know?
Yes.
Your face never changes.
I'm in so much pain and agony.
But you're resting in peace.
Hwayeong, is that you?
It's you, Lee Hwayeong.
Let's talk.
Hwayeong.
What is it, Mr. Yu from M Group?
You're President Baek's right-hand man.
You're his strategist and secretary.
I'm not sure why you're so close
to that family, Mr. Yu Seongbin.
Hwayeong.
Is it because of Baek Yeonhui?
Are you going to be their lapdog
and lick up the scraps they leave you?
Hey, Lee Hwayeong. Watch your tongue.
I know you were in love
with my brother's woman.
But before that, wasn't my brother
like a real brother to you?
Every now and again,
your pathetic excuse for a soul
leads you here to beg for forgiveness.
But no, I can't forgive you. Never.
Are you still hung up on that?
It's been over 10 years.
It's time to forget about it.
I will.
Sure, I'll let it go.
Let go of everything that had once been.
Hwayeong.
My brother died.
My brother was murdered.
Murdered?
What do you mean he was murdered?
That's not true.
No, no. There's no way.
That's what you want to say.
You want to believe it was an accident.
But who forced him to chase that car?
It was that woman, Baek Yeonhui.
She must be so happy
being married, living with her child,
throwing birthday parties,
being loved by her unsuspecting husband.
But I'm going to watch her.
I'm going to see
how long she can stay happy
even after she murdered someone.
If we ever meet again,
don't act like you know me.
We have nothing to offer each other.
Yumi, how are you so relaxed?
Isn't it your first day of work today?
Of course it is.
And yet, you're still not dressed?
Hey, you can't be late on your first day.
Don't worry about me.
I can take care of myself.
Yeonhui.
You don't think your father
is worried about Yumi, do you?
Of course not. She was picked among
top designers from abroad through a contest.
Why do you think so little of me?
I'm pretty good at what I do.
You're all talk.
Just pipe down and get to work.
I'm the one who's getting worried now.
Fine.
Jinwu, sit next to grandma.
I'll feed you.
No, let mom do it.
Mommy's busy.
Mommy has to get ready for work.
Jinwu still needs his mom.
Can't you give up the coffee shop?
Just let her be.
Yeonhui's amazing at her job.
Thank you for that, honey.
Thanks for taking my side.
I'll take your side no matter what.
Honey, do you really want to run a cafe?
Honey.
Mother nags me every chance she gets
to make me ask you to quit.
She thinks you should focus on Jinwu
and not waste your time on other things.
I know what she means.
But if I stay home,
I always butt heads with your mother.
You know how stubborn she can be.
She's trying to control Jinwu's education.
In any case, I'm going to work.
I hope you understand.
It's true that you
butt heads with mother when you stay home.
Fine.
I'm on your side.
But honey?
Have you decided
to sleep with your lover instead of me?
Huh? What?
Jinwu is your lover.
Come on.
If you keep this up, I'm going to be mad.
You belong to me, not Jinwu.
You're my wife.
How can you be jealous of Jinwu?
How can I not be?
He takes my woman to bed every night.
What are you doing?
Isn't my turn to hold my woman?
Hurry up and get to work.
Mom, mom!
Mom...
Jinwu, what's wrong?
Come here.
What is it? Jinwu, what's wrong?
Don't cry. Jinwu, give mommy a kiss.
Okay, now.
Give me a kiss too.
Give daddy a kiss, Jinwu.
This little rascal is my rival.
What are you doing?
You have a tag stuck to your clothes.
Well then...
Excuse me.
Do you know where the design department is?
On the second floor.
Mr. Yu!
How have you been, Baek Junhui?
You're Jeong Yumi.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you know?
I'm working at the design department now.
So the new chief is...
You must be the new chief of design.
Yes, the name's Jeong Yumi.
I'm Yu Seongbin.
Let's go, Mr. Yu. I brought coffee.
Ms. Jeong, come join us.
Sorry. You'll have to come next time.
I can't believe this.
What?
So you two are in-laws?
Yes, she's my brother-in-law's sister
and we went to the same high school.
Why'd she have to get a job at our company?
Do you know how rude she was in high school?
She was always chasing after guys.
And she was a terrible student.
And her face is practically recyclable.
That's no way to talk about your friends.
Besides, she's your sister's sister-in-law.
You're not going to treat her special
over that, are you?
Why wouldn't I?
You're always going on about how
Yeonhui is my first love.
I have to be nice to my first love's sister-in-law.
I'm going.
Forget you!
I'm his first love's sister. He's not nice to me.
You finally woke up? Have some breakfast.
It's so busy at the restaurant these days.
Lasar's U.S. division sent somebody,
so we have a bunch of preparations to make.
Mom!
That's why I told you not to run.
Jeong Jinwu.
My poor puppy dog.
You have to listen to your mother.
Mother, please scold Jinwu.
He won't listen to me.
And he says he won't go to kindergarten.
Jeong Jinwu.
You get to ride the yellow bus to school.
You can do it all on your own.
Don't you know this song?
That way, your teacher will love you
and your mother can go to work.
I don't want to. Mom has to take me there.
Jinwu, should I take you there?
No, I want mom!
Okay then.
Why don't you drop him off?
Yay, I'm excited!
Jinwu, I told you not to run.
You can't take your eyes off him.
Oh this is your fault too.
You always let him do what he wants.
You try getting married and having kids.
You think it's easy?
That's why I'm not getting married.
Because no one would marry you?
Huija!
It's me.
What's up, dork?
What? Today?
What?
She calls him a dork all the time.
Why does she keep meeting him?
She's known him since grade school.
They're not dating, are they?
I'm not sure, mother.
When it comes to love, you never know.
Whether he's a dork or a moron,
I hope Jinsuk gets married soon.
You're going to get hurt.
Should I give you two a ride?
He says he wants to walk.
Really?
Jinwu, bye.
Bye, great-auntie.
Take out the "great" part.
Just say "pretty auntie."
Great-auntie.
Come on!
- Bye. - See you.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye. You're so cute.
Who is it?
This is Mrs. Jeong's residence, correct?
Yes, who are you? Delivery?
No, if she's home, I'd like to see her.
Who is it?
She says she's looking for you.
Me?
There's no one there.
I'm sure she was looking for you.
Great job. It's a boy.
- Bye. - Bye.
Wait for me, baby.
I'm your mom.
Mom
The subscriber is unavailable.
Chuja, let's get to work.
It makes me angry just thinking about it.
How dare you?
Why?
I didn't do anything wrong.
I'm talking about Hwayeong.
She shows up out of nowhere
only to disappear like the wind.
Can you believe it? Is she even my daughter?
Just let her be.
She's always been like that.
Remember when she became a surrogate?
Okay, okay.
Don't you ever say that again.
She's been in the States for six years,
she could've spent one night at home.
Why isn't she coming home?
Let's go, Ms. Bae Chuja,
or else we'll be late. Let's go, shall we?
Let's go.
Huh? Chuja, what's this?
Huh?
What is that? It looks like it's designer.
It's not a designer brand.
It's a knock-off.
Ms. Bae, you can't fool me.
Yes, it's a designer bag.
Hwayeong bought it for me.
Hwayeong? Really?
I knew it.
Hwayeong must've done well in the States.
She didn't get me anything?
This is all she brought.
Nothing for you or Sora.
That brat's shows no gratitude.
She thinks so little of her uncle.
Rude little brat.
Baek Yeonhui, Jeong Jinwu
It's monsoon season but the clothes are dry.
Mother, I'm heading to work.
Don't be late today.
Okay.
Is she starving? Is she in rags?
What's so great about working
at the expense of her son?
How much does she expect to make
by selling a few cups of coffee?
She just never listens.
But ma'am, these days
the coffee industry is booming.
It'd be great if she made a killing!
Watch it!
Hey, newbie.
You missed a spot.
What did I tell you yesterday?
I told you to think of the floor as your face
and polish it until it shines, didn't I?
I got no problem making it shine.
But why are you being so rude?
Did you leave your manners at home?
Huh? Who do you think you're looking at?
Who else? I'm looking at you.
Even here, we've got a chain of command.
Juniors have to respect their seniors.
Did I just get drafted?
Am I in the army now?
- That's it. - Bring it.
You're lucky the president came by.
Sheesh.
I think you got this job
while I was on vacation.
But I'm your supervisor.
They call me Miss Mole, Ssangsun Lee,
Lee Ssangsun.
If you want to keep your job,
you better get it right!
I got a knuckle sandwich for you.
That little...
Her face looks like a smashed pumpkin.
Mole face!
This is just your luck, Bae Chuja.
That little...
Good morning.
Good morning, ma'am.
Yeongeun, don't you think
the shop looks a little too empty?
Let's get a vase for these.
Yes, ma'am.
Welcome.
Has the manager from Lasar called yet?
No, not yet.
I called but she's not picking up.
Okay.
What happened?
Yes, come in.
Mr. Lee.
Grace Lee just called.
She wants you to come to the hotel in person.
Why isn't she here yet?
She thinks she's the one in charge?
Sheesh.
Are you President Jeong Byeongguk?
Yes.
Here.
Ms. Grace Lee has sent a message.
Can you come to the pool?
Mr. Jeong Byeongguk?
Grace Lee?
Can you pass me that towel?
Yes.
I should've gone to your office.
But I'm still a bit jet lagged.
It's fine.
Thanks to you, I got to check out the pool.
Aren't you hungry? I'm starving.
Well...
Let's go.
Seoul's skyline is magnificent.
I never knew how great it was
when I left Korea.
I heard that Seoul's skyline
is one of the best in the world.
Seoul...
When I left, I hated this city.
Why?
Shall we talk about work?
I wasted your entire afternoon
so let me be direct.
My company is very excited
to do business with your restaurant.
That's why I'm here.
Of course, there are a few conditions,
but I don't think they'll be a problem.
Thank you.
But honestly, earlier,
I was thinking about taking you
to our restaurant myself.
Would you like to see our restaurant?
Of course I do.
Then let me take you there.
Mr. Jeong.
I heard you were a momma's boy.
But you're actually quite bold,
manly and strong-willed.
A mama's boy?
Have I wounded your pride?
People in the States are more laid-back,
I think I was out of line.
I'm sorry.
No, it's alright.
My mother did establish this company
so I can see why you'd think that.
But just between you and me,
I am a mama's boy.
Shall we make a toast?
Where have I seen her before?
Las Vegas?
No.
Room 1200, Grace Lee.
There should be a document for me.
Yes, a man just brought this here.
Thank you.
Work Activity Log
Yeongeun, clean that and that.
Yes, ma'am.
I think iced coffee is really popular this year.
Summer came sooner than it did last year.
But I like hot coffee more than iced coffee.
Ah, that must be why
you have such a great husband.
What?
Women who like hot beverages
attract great husbands.
That's what my mom says.
Really?
Welcome.
Are you closing up?
Not yet, what would you like to order?
Can I get an iced tea?
Coming right up.
Yes, mother?
It's me. I tried everything, but he
won't get in the bath until you come home.
Goodness.
Where did he get his stubbornness from?
When are you getting home?
I'm not done here yet.
Can you put Jinwu on the phone?
When are you coming home?
Hurry up, mom.
I'm sorry, Jinwu.
I'll bring home some delicious ice-cream.
So can you take a bath and wait?
You're a good boy, right?
What about a toy car? Buy me a toy car.
Let's get a toy car
at the store with your father on Sunday.
Okay.
Don't forget to buy me a toy car.
Grandma, bath time.
Jinwu, you're such a good boy.
Let's get changed.
It's like it doesn't matter how hard I try.
He's always crying for his mom.
I'll take care of it, just start closing.
Yes, ma'am.
Enjoy.
You dropped this on the floor.
Oh my. Thank you.
My son drew this for me.
Your son drew it?
Yes.
Baek Yeonhui, Jeong Jinwu
Your son is quite the artist.
You think so?
Jeong Jinwu.
Your mom's not Baek Yeonhui,
it's Lee Hwayeong.
You'll see, soon enough.
Baby, my son.
Yeongeun, if you're done, let's go home.
Ma'am.
That customer left this here.
What is it?
She left in a hurry
and I guess she left this here.
I'm sure she'll be back for it.
- Keep it someplace safe. - Okay.
I'll get that.
Yes, this is The Coffee Shop.
I was there just a minute ago.
I left a shopping bag there.
Yes, we have it.
The baby clothing and the toy robot?
Yes, I totally forgot.
I'll come pick it up tomorrow.
Okay, we'll keep it safe for you.
Thank you.
Yes.
Let's meet, Baek Yeonhui.
Okay that's it for today.
Great job today.
Ms. Jeong Yumi.
I'm sorry I kept you so late on your first day.
Yes, you should be sorry.
I think you owe us all a drink.
Wow!
Great, my treat.
Let's go.
Ah, Baek Junhui.
Tell me something.
About what?
The hot guy from the lobby.
His name was Yu...
What was his name again?
Are you talking about Seongbin?
I mean, Mr. Yu Seongbin?
Yu Seongbin.
Is he single?
Why do you care?
How old is he?
Forget it. He has a girlfriend.
No wife? Just a girlfriend?
Okay, got it.
What was that about?
Hey, I said he has a girlfriend!
I know that you were in love
with my brother's woman.
But even before that, wasn't my brother
like a real brother to you?
What did my brother ever do wrong?
His only mistake was that he loved
that woman, Baek Yeonhui. So why?
I'm going to watch her.
I'm going to see how long she can stay happy
after she murdered someone.
Hello?
Yeonhui, it's me.
Did I call too late?
I just got home from work.
What's up?
Is everything alright?
Everything's fine.
Each day keeps on flying by.
What about you?
I'm still the same.
But I wanted to ask if
anyone came to see you
or if you got any strange phone calls.
What do you mean?
Donghyeon...
Donghyeon?
Never mind. Let's hang out later.
I'll come find you.
Donghyeon?
Anniversary of Donghyeon's death
Donghyeon, I'm sorry.
I already broke my promise
to visit you every year.
I'm sorry, Donghyeon.
What happened?
Oh no!
Sell the coffee shop.
Mother.
No matter how badly Jinwu gets hurt
you're really going to keep working?
You know how precious he is.
You're going to let her ignore him
and keep working?
After Jinwu was born,
I thought everything would be perfect.
Is work that important?
Is it more important to you than
your husband, my mom, and Jinwu?
I'm the branch manager of YM,
Jeong Jinsuk.
Nice to meet you. I'm Grace Lee.
How have you been?
Are you really Lee Hwayeong?
