Episode 23
President Kim, is it true that the leak came from within the group?
Was it really the result of a struggle between brothers which started...
You came just at the right time.
My father?
He wanted to leave for Ulsan last night, but with all those reporters...
President Kim Youngjun.
Is it true that you resigned from your post?
Give us a comment on the rumors about your differences with Vice-chairman Kim Youngdae.
- My "differences" with him? - That's the angle the press is pushing.
Isn't that how things go these days? It'll make a lot more noise than simple corruption.
- Did Dad wake up? - He's in his studio.
- Have you read the papers? - On my way here.
What are they talking about?
What on earth happened last night between you two?
Don't try to get involved in this.
How can I just stay out of this alone?
It happened before you joined the group.
Who's out there?
It's Youngjun, Father.
Think about it.
Why Dad left you out of the group for so long.
What is that supposed to mean?
It's something Dad had been planning for a long time.
What did you come here for?
Didn't I tell you not to set foot here again?
I came to get my letter of resignation back.
Your what?
I will handle this.
You still have the guts to say that after all this?
["Atlantic Group Hit by Storm" - Brothers in Upheaval -]
Who's behind this?
It was you, right?
Don't you know that better than anyone?
You little...
I will take responsibility for everything.
Then, I'll consider my resignation invalid.
Don't make mistakes. If you're prepared for the consequences.
Yes, Father.
Accompany Dad to Ulsan.
What are you going to do?
I have a favor to ask you.
Tell me.
Finish the nursing home on my behalf.
I promised it to Yoon Jeongsuk.
I'll be counting on you.
Let's take the back door. We have another car standing by.
I'll take the reporters to our offices.
In the meantime, accompany my father to Ulsan.
We will have a press conference in our offices' briefing room.
If you'd like to ask any questions, you are invited to participate.
All the reporters went after Youngjun. Prepare to leave.
- You remain in Seoul and help Youngjun. - Yes, Chairman.
I couldn't even pack up a few things.
This feels like some kind of war... Aren't you coming with us, Youngmin?
I will follow you soon.
Don't let anyone enter my room. There are plenty of valuables in there.
Yes, Mother.
Are you going somewhere?
Just go to Ulsan and stay out of this.
I'm the only one who knows about the shipyard.
It's something that started before you joined the group.
Why do you think he told you to join him down in Ulsan?
Because he's afraid you might face the consequences as well.
Youngjun Hyung needs my help.
I said don't get involved.
I can't let them send Youngjun to prison instead of Dad.
Then, are you going to go instead?
All the better. It was going to happen anyway.
This can only strengthen your position.
So don't do anything that could threaten your future.
I can't only worry about myself.
But you should still do your best to survive.
Let's make things clear.
Don't try to get involved in anything concerning Yang Insuk or your sister.
Haven't you gained enough?
- So... - You should stop getting involved with that.
I started all that, so I will finish it.
Stop trying to make them suffer.
What about me?
What?
Think I'm not suffering?
They're only the consequences of your own actions.
And who do you think I did that for?
So, what, we're accomplices now?
Honey...
Isn't that what you're implying?
Wait a moment, let me finish...
And Dad?
He's probably heading to Ulsan as we speak.
What's the point of going to Ulsan? He should have gone overseas!
If Dad tried to leave the country, things would get even worse.
Are they going to imprison him?
In the end, they're going to focus their efforts on him.
We'll have to stop that before it happens.
And how do you suppose we do that?
Take a wrong step, and the stray bullets might even hit us.
Have we ever even taken a glance at Dad's secret accounts?
He handled them all on his own.
Just let me take the fall for everything.
So you're going to sacrifice for us all?!
Afraid I can't do that.
If I at least knew anything, I could go to prison in his place.
Right...
Where is Youngmin?
Don't try to get Youngmin involved.
Who ever said I would?
And what's wrong with your attitude?
There'll be a press conference in an hour.
Think that'll help Dad in any way?
There is only one solution.
Either Dad takes the blame and steps out, or this is not going to end nicely.
This could even dismantle the entire group.
If you keep talking like that, one can't help but be suspicious of you.
I have no intention of making any excuses.
Since you clearly believe I was the informer.
Hey...
I even got kicked around by Dad.
No matter how much he might resent me, can you treat your fifty-year-old son like that?
I have no affection left for him whatsoever.
I won't say a single lie for his sake.
Just so you know.
- Kim Minjae! - Yes... Chief.
I told you to organize all promotional data for the shipyard, is this all you could do?
Do it right.
Yes, Chief.
- Kim Minjae. - Yes, Chief.
How about the press conference?
Press... conference?
I told you to prepare the briefing room for that!
Yes... All right. I'll do it right away.
Let's wake up.
And finish that report.
Yes, Chief...
- Minjae. - I'm busy, Dad.
See you later.
What are you trying to accomplish with that press conference?
I'm going to do it alone, so stay out of this.
How can you do it alone?
I agree with him on that.
Let's all join the press conference.
That's not what I meant. Ahh... Really...
I mean, what is the point of a press conference in this situation?
You'll only make more noise for nothing.
We should just keep quiet until the investigation is complete.
Let's first deal with all those rumors of differences between us.
And who do you think is behind those rumors? It was Dad! So he could avoid the blame.
It's time. Let's go.
I said stay out of this.
What are you going to do?
I ought to...
You sure know how to put people in an awkward position.
If I stay out of this, all fingers will start pointing at me.
Tell me...
What is it you're scheming?
That's what I'm really curious about.
What on earth you are scheming.
I can't take this anymore.
How can they try to blame it all on my husband?
What did he ever do wrong?
Nobody is trying to do that...
Yeah, right. Everyone suspects him.
First, allow us to apologize for getting involved in this investigation.
Truth or not, we still ask for your understanding and humbly apologize.
Our apologies.
Aren't you going?
Where?
You should go to Ulsan.
Father said he wants to spend some time alone.
But he told your husband to join him there.
He went to the office.
So, you're not going to?
And who will take care of the department store?
Is that the issue now?
Father is risking a jail term.
Think he'll go to prison for that?
You really believe they'd be lenient because he's a chaebol?
These days they're summoning even bigger shots than him.
And that's why people suspect your husband.
Don't you agree, Nayoung?
Who would possibly wish to see Father's downfall?
Aigoo... Like you're in any position to say that.
Who's responsible for all this mess?
You should have kept your old folks in check.
It only happened because someone else encouraged my uncle.
Then, what, are you saying it was my husband?
Was it "If I can't have it, no one else can"?!
What are you trying to imply? That he couldn't become owner?
He's long lost Father's confidence.
And how about you? Is your husband any better off?
What do you think I came here for? Hanging from Nayoung's lips.
Aigoo... Sure! Have it your way!
First your husbands get together to screw mine,
and now you team up to piss me off?
Be my guest!
Are you really going to Ulsan?
Don't misunderstand.
You really think we'd be in any position to scheme against anyone?
Everything points to that.
It's a misunderstanding. Hear us out first!
Just let her go. Who cares if she misunderstands us.
You really...
She'd have a point.
What's that supposed to mean?
Who's responsible for starting all this, and then blaming it on her husband?
Don't you try to get involved.
Just sit back and let my husband handle it.
Think that will help him regain Father's confidence?
Why? Does that scare you? That he might solve all this?
How is he going to handle that investigation?
You just wait and see.
If they get Father involved,
your parents will end up on the chopping board as well.
Aigoo... I'm sure he'll be exploding with devotion for your husband...
But tell me, what did your husband say?
When I told him you had a child before getting married.
Don't you know that birds of the same feather flock together?
What?
You really think he didn't know that?
Shall we let the chairman in on it, then?
So he can start ignoring you once and for all?
Who... Me?
Like he's got no skeletons to hide...
I see we're not pulling punches now...
Just go for it. Let's see who'll be standing in the end.
Ajumma!
Yes, Ma'am.
Set the table, I need to go out.
Yes, Ma'am.
Enjoy your dinner, Aeri.
You want me to serve it right now?
You think I'm in the mood for that?
I will ask one last question.
Yes.
The prosecutors are focusing their investigation on Atlantic Construction.
How do you feel about the accusations that Atlantic Construction used...
the group's secret accounts to fund their lobbying efforts...
in connection with the shipyard project you're currently involved with?
I will answer that.
Pushing for our entry into the heavy industries sector...
was a longtime dream for our chairman.
The process might not have always been dealt with in the most transparent way,
but if such was the case, it's always been under my instructions.
I will take full responsibility for any unlawful practices.
Explain to us where that "brothers in upheaval" rumor originated from.
Ahh... There is no such thing.
Can't you see for yourself?
The three of us...
stand united!
Thank you.
Until the investigation is over, my brothers and I will lead the group.
Who will take the chairman's seat?
I'm the vice-chairman, so it's only natural it'd be me.
It is my duty to lead this group.
You did well, Hyung.
Thanks.
You really think any of this would be possible without the chairman's consent?
Isn't it natural he would leave control of the company to his eldest son?
Atlantic Group is alive and well.
Why is Wednesday empty?
Because she needs at least a day off every week.
Fill the entire week.
You can't let her rest for a single hour.
All right.
Come in.
I'm going down to Ulsan.
As you wish, President.
Might take a few days.
Make sure Baek Ingi doesn't miss any of our fundraisers and promotional events.
Yes, President.
Right... Did Mijin come to work?
I haven't seen her as of late.
Just ignore it.
- Kim Mijin has always... - You keep closing an eye, so that's why.
I apologize.
I'll get going.
If Baek Ingi misses any of her dates, call me right away.
Yes, President.
It's me. I'm on my way to Ulsan.
All right.
When are you coming?
What?
Are you out of your mind?
You should be by your father's side right now.
Why aren't you answering me?
Honey. Honey?
It was Mom, right?
Yeah.
I guess she's calling me now.
Yes, Mom.
Come to Ulsan with your father.
Just do as I say. You're Grandpa's secretary.
What's so strange about it?
Minjae, don't make me call you again. Are we clear?
Dad...
Are you going to Ulsan?
I can't.
Why?
I had a lot to talk about with you.
I'm always here for you.
When all this is dealt with, shall we go on some trip?
You and I?
Yeah.
That'd be great.
Now that I think about it, I haven't been there for you all that much.
I'm afraid they're not going to stop at you.
How much do they know?
I've heard the prosecutors got their hands on dozens of namesake accounts.
What kind of figures are we dealing with?
A few dozen billions?
That much?
I'm sure they'll find more.
If it's that kind of figure, I can probably handle it on my own.
I'd heard you handed your resignation, why bother coming back?
Do you know that your father was eying your brother more than you?
Everyone else in our circles thinks the same.
I admit it's a little disappointing, but we're still dealing with my father.
Thanks.
This is the chairman's office.
We have a search warrant.
What is going on, Chief?
Don't worry.
I took out anything compromising last night.
Think it's the first time we go through this?
We found it.
Found what?
Move!
A secret account book?
Yes... One the chairman used for backdoor deals.
It lists details on the locations, amounts exchanged and the like.
Down to the name of everyone who received bribes.
Of course it's just initials and not the full names,
but even that is enough to figure out who we're dealing with.
Didn't the chairman deal with all big shots directly?
So I guess this puts you in a bit of a predicament.
What is that...
You've been working under the chairman for ages.
I merely dealt with small fries.
You know who handled the big shots...
Make sure they stop with you.
It's not like you can get out of this.
Would the chairman ignore this?
You know that he always pays back his debts of gratitude.
Things seem to be moving faster than we expected.
Is it the second search?
This time they went all the way to the chairman's office.
Chief Yang said that he removed all compromising records last night.
But I wonder how they managed to find that there.
You know that the chairman would never make such a blunder.
Just ignore it for the time being.
I'll take all the punches that come my way, and then plan a counterattack.
Hyung, where were you?
The prosecutors found a secret account book in Dad's office.
No need to worry.
They're targeting Dad now.
Those books are over a decade old.
Legally speaking, they're a non-issue.
Then they'll move on to the house in Gahwedong.
And if they can't find what they're looking for, they'll go all the way to Ulsan.
We need to settle things before that happens.
There's no way to stop that investigation.
Letting them find that book was only Dad's warning to all the people who owe him.
Then, are you saying he purposely...
If they don't budge, I guess he'll reveal a second secret book.
And if needed, a third and fourth. He will continue to press them.
I bet it disappoints you? Learning that Dad acted this way.
I still don't really know what kind of man he is.
Youngmin.
Dad only wants you to take over under better conditions.
No matter how questionable his means are.
Trust him, Youngmin.
He's the scariest man you'll ever meet,
but his love for you is as sincere as it gets.
You'll never be able to understand your father.
But you can believe in his love for you.
Why did you buy all this?
We had enough to go by.
You know that Father is picky with food.
Good job.
Never tell me a thing, will you...
So is that why you threw everything I bought in there without a word?
Who ever asked you to come here?
Are you going to do all the chores by yourself?
I can just hire someone.
Go to the chairman. I bet he's curious.
Yes, Mother.
Stop giving my husband the cold shoulder, Mother.
You just wait.
You'll find out he's the only one who's truly concerned about Father.
Listen to her...
I told you he's got nothing to do with this! You really...
So the three of them organized a press conference?
Yes, Father.
Everyone praised them for standing united.
And I told Youngmin to stay out of it...
Would he listen?
We can't let this hurt Youngmin.
He's my most cherished son.
Thank you, Father.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
You must protect him, that's what I meant.
I'll bear it in mind, Father.
It's me, Honey.
Listen well.
Just a moment ago, your father told me that you'll inherit the group,
saying you're his most cherished son.
I'm sorry, Honey. He left me speechless.
Yes... He said that.
That we can't allow this to hurt you.
That you're Atlantic Group's greatest hope.
Yes.
Your father just told me that.
Dad.
Can I leave early?
I thought we were going to eat dinner together.
The cousins asked me out for a drink.
Be careful not to make a scene.
Thank you.
- Chairman KIM TAEJIN -
Come on in.
I came to see my sister.
Why do you keep looking for her?
As if it was to tell her anything nice...
So she must be out, I suppose?
She seemed ill...
What's the matter?
You all keep pestering her, isn't it obvious it would eventually happen?
Go in.
Thank you.
Hello?
It's me.
Can we meet tonight?
Where?
Just come for a coffee on your way home.
All right.
Look at you.
I was organizing a few things on his desk, and...
Hasn't Dad been sitting here for a little too long?
Aigoo... How nice. All soft and comfortable.
Chairmen get the best seats, all right.
Youngjun was out of contention from the get-go.
He thinks way too much.
And thanks to that, this seat was pretty much left for me to take.
At least until you came back and crushed all those dreams.
I'll get going.
Youngmin...
Dad can't ignore me.
What do you think I did these last ten years, handling all matters on Dad's behalf?
This thing called group...
It doesn't live and die by its owner's word.
Whomever can control that intricate web of connections, special interests,
ties with banks, bureaucrats and politicians ends up as the winner.
And I've already set everything in place.
I've gained enough influence that one word from me, and all those connections...
will end up putting me on top.
So don't even bother trying to fight me.
Even Dad is no longer a match for me.
And that's why he ran to Ulsan.
Surrender.
Just a moment ago, your father told me that you'll inherit the group.
That you're Atlantic Group's greatest hope.
Think I have all night?
Is it that hard to say a word?
Today, my father-in-law promised that Youngmin will inherit the group,
so must you really ruin all that?
Stop trying to rile me up and say something!
You can't promise?
Fine.
Then one of us will just have to die.
If you keep insisting on meeting Youngjun, I'll have to be the one.
And if I say that I'll only die after I see my husband become owner,
you'll have to die first.
Let's do that, Eonni.
Enough with this and just say it.
Who do you want to die?
- Youngjun... - What... Youngjun what?
Speak to me!
If he turns me down, then that's it.
What's that supposed to mean?
I'll do what he tells me.
How cunning...
I'm asking what you think, why bring him up?
Hey... Wake up, will you?
Why would he abandon his family to come to you?
That's just what men say to get laid.
He's not that kind of man.
- Youngjun... - Youngjun this, Youngjun that!
Imagine if my father-in-law heard you.
Nayoung.
What?!
If you want me to, I could even die for you.
But before Youngjun turns me down, I can't break up with him.
Is it that serious?
Have you fallen for him that badly?
The sole fact that there are people like Youngjun in this world makes me happy.
So I guess that does it!
Wouldn't it mean that looking at him from afar is enough?
Stop it.
Nothing you say will change my mind.
This...
is all I have.
This alone is worth a few dozen millions.
And these are diamonds.
Take all this and go live elsewhere.
If you do, then you can live with Youngjun and I won't care.
But go do it where I can't see you.
I'm not going to leave.
Are you just acting like this out of spite?
How about the elders who depend on me?
Again with the same excuses?
I lose.
Do as you damn please!
Take this back, Nayoung.
For once, let me win.
I'm even begging you.
Fine.
So if he turns you down, you'll break up?
Say it.
You're confident...
All right.
I guess I can just pretend you're dead and move on.
Nayoung.
I found Hyejin.
She wasn't dead... She's alive.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know Hyejin?
I told you about her.
The kid from the orphanage you raised?
She came looking for me here.
To thank me for raising her.
It's a promise.
If Kim Youngjun asks to break up, you will.
The president is eating dinner alone.
Do you want to talk to him?
No. It's okay.
Nayoung.
I found Hyejin.
She wasn't dead... She was alive.
She came looking for me here. To thank me for raising her.
Might be true.
Nayoung!
What does she have to do with me anyway?
Even if she might be alive.
I'm almost there.
I can't crumble after coming all the way here.
I won't let anyone stop me, no matter who it is.
No matter who, I won't!
So we're all here except Minjae?
I told him to come?
Would Minjae want to spend time with us?
What's the matter with you?
Admit it. He's playing on a different level now.
- Sorry... I'm late. - Come on in.
We just started.
Wow... I'm free, for a change?!
Busy, aren't you?
Yes.
How's the situation, Minjae?
What would I know anyway? I'm just running errands.
Minjae, is that true?
That my father and uncle had a fight.
Your father started it!
Watch what you say.
I've heard that your mother was behind it.
Ehh... Eonni. Let's just drink.
Yeah... Just forget that.
That's exactly why I invited you tonight.
Why should we get involved in our old folks' troubles?
It wasn't exactly the model clan to begin with, was it?
These days, I'm too embarrassed to meet the boys.
Let's just get drunk tonight. How about it?
We'll just forget it and have some fun.
I'm sure you're not even concerned? Since you're out of the game anyway.
Right... It's not affecting me.
Here... Cheers.
Here. How about a toast?
Gondeure.
Aunt!
I had to bring one of our backers, so I'm a little late.
Come on in, Deokseong.
I wonder, am I really welcome here?
I don't know who you are, but we're glad you joined us.
Is he your new boyfriend?
Aunt, come sit here.
How many have you changed already?
Nice to meet you all.
- Have a drink. - Yes...
- Thank you. - Aunt, too.
[*gondeure-mandeure is slang for "piss drunk"]
So if I say gondeure*, you say mandeure*.
Gondeure-mandeure. Nice!
- Gondeure. - Mandeure!
Are you visiting strangers? What are you standing there for?
What did you come to Seoul for, to take all the blame?
Think that it will earn your father's praise?
You could have stayed in Ulsan with that hick, why bother coming to Seoul?
Already got tired of that, too?
Go tell your father not to take things beyond this.
How brave of you.
And that if they make another move against us,
I'll reveal every dirty little detail about their dealings with Atlantic Group.
Why don't you go tell him that yourself?
Since he's taken your side now and he refuses to listen.
Did you come all the way here just to tell me that?
If you have anything else to say, let's hear it.
"Let's separate," again with that?
Why? Does hearing that make you sad? Because you feel bad for me?
It's more likely you're enjoying this.
Seeing your haughty wife in this state and all.
Is that all you can think of me?
Have you ever tried to understand me even once?
Playing it hard, I see.
That's the problem with you.
Why always make things so complicated?
There's something more important in life than material things.
And what is it?
If there is such a thing, then show it to me.
I only live for what I can see with my own eyes.
Tell me!
What must I do to earn your forgiveness?
Yoon Nayoung...
You did that to my husband.
He's only in this state because of you.
Cheers!
Listen to me.
Director Park is a big shot.
He's one of the top private lenders in the country.
So if you have any business item, just bring it to me.
I'll do everything I can to help you.
Atlantic Group?
They can have it.
It's a sinking boat anyway.
So isn't it time we all find a way to stay afloat?
Well said! Let's do that.
And in that sense.... Gondeure!
Mandeure!
Kim Minjae! Where are you going?
Just forget him, Aunt. He's from a different stock anyway.
Listen... A complex of inferiority is the quickest way to become a loser.
Look at me.
And Youngshik as well.
Despite all the contempt we got for being stepchildren,
we're still doing fine.
Isn't that right, Youngshik Oppa?
Here... Let's drink. Gondeure!
Mandeure!
I was out drinking with my cousins.
Are you all right?
It was all over the papers.
I really have no idea.
Just witnessing it was really scary.
How are you doing?
Working hard on my film, shooting commercials,
promotional events for the dept. store, charity parties...
I'm so busy I can't even breathe.
What would you be sorry for?
My mother keeps pestering you.
Right!
I found my mother.
Mother?
Not my birth mother... The one who raised me.
Go back in. I better go.
Tomorrow is Christmas.
What are you doing?
Tomorrow I'm even busier.
I've got events all day long, and a TV shoot in the evening.
You're busy.
Want me to bring you another coffee?
How are you feeling?
I've heard about Minjae nursing you.
Yes.
Don't say anything to him.
I'm keeping quiet.
Can't it be treated?
It's not that it can't, I don't want them to treat me.
What is that supposed to mean?
They told me there's a lump in my brain.
That my chances to make it are less than ten percent.
Still, shouldn't you try everything you can?
I don't want to.
I neither want the surgery nor radiation therapy.
Not to mention having to wear a wig after all my hair falls off.
I don't want to meet Minjae in that state.
Just let me be.
I like it just the way it is now.
Do you even realize how cruel that is?
Cruel?!
To whom?
You're tormenting my wife. And the same goes for me.
Is that so?
I'm sorry.
You've changed your mind.
You told me you'd take care of me...
You're not listening to me.
"Sell the store and find yourself a nice place to live"?
That can only mean I should stay away from Minjae.
That's not what I meant.
I read on the paper that you'll become owner of Atlantic Group.
Congratulations.
But Yoon Nayoung won't get to see you inherit that seat.
Forget everything else, but I can't let that happen.
Was that the reason why you approached Minjae?
I was just talking.
How would I possibly stop her?
All I can do is watch as she gets her hands on everything.
- Listen to me. - I'll bring you another coffee.
Insuk.
I'm the one responsible for what happened to you, not Yoon Nayoung.
Ajumma...
Dad!
Minjae, it's you...
He was looking for you, so he dropped by.
He came with your mother once.
So that's how he got to know you...
Come have a seat.
My cousins forced me to drink so much... I'm a little drunk.
Want a coffee to sober you up?
Yes, Ajumma...
Minjae.
Ahh... I must have had one drink too many.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Everyone was giving me such strange looks...
Strange in what way?
You know... Grandpa is favoring me, so they're bitter or something.
That's why you should hang out with them more often.
I'd love to, but...
It's not working.
I guess it's because I got used to living alone.
I went through the same thing.
I've spent years at a dorm in the States.
I couldn't open up with people over there.
Dad.
Was Mom your first love?
Did you ever fall for anyone other than her?
I think she probably was, knowing you.
You probably fell for her at first sight,
and got married after only a couple of dates.
Isn't it, Dad?
What are you saying, that your mother wears the pants in our family?
Nah...
I probably would have done the same, Dad.
If I'd met a woman like Mom,
I would have probably married her right away.
I'll have to tell her...
Why, did I speak ill of her? It was a compliment.
Compliment?!
You know... She's got passion.
Be it for the people she loves, or work.
Mom never lets go of them.
Minjae.
I spilled the coffee, so... she just...
I don't really know how to explain it to you.
You know, Dad...
I decided to quit trying to understand things that escape me.
Like how the more love Mom shows for me, the more lonely I feel.
I've stopped trying to understand such things.
- Minjae... - It's something I'll never find out.
Since Mom will never talk about it.
You always felt distant to me.
Whenever I acted up in the States, it was Mom who would always run to me.
You never came even once.
At times, I wanted to get in trouble for real.
And do something serious enough that you'd finally come instead.
I'm sure you would have told me, then.
Why being loved made me feel even more lonely.
Because if it was you, you'd probably know the reason.
I see my Minjae is finally going through puberty.
Minjae.
Let's go have another drink at home.
Let's talk man to man, for once.
Like the idea?
Yes... Dad.
Minjae saw me with Youngmin at the cafe.
What now?
We didn't even have any time to make excuses.
What?
Back in the States, I once went to the hospital where I was born.
Why?
To check my certificate of birth.
What's that supposed to mean?
I have no idea.
I just wanted to know who I really was.
Minjae.
Sorry, Dad.
It must have been because life in the States was too hard.
When you came back here, living there alone was unbearable.
So you even thought that we might not be your real parents?
Yes...
Or else, why would you leave me there all by myself...
Then I saw my name, yours and Mom's on that certificate,
and you can't imagine how happy I was.
Even the blood type was the same.
A for you, B for Mom.
And I was AB.
I have both Mom's blood and yours.
You even thought of that.
It was that hard, back then.
I thought you'd be coping with it just like I did.
Since I spent my adolescence there all alone, just like you.
I asked my friends, and most people felt like me at least once.
That they might actually be orphans.
There are many adopted children in the US.
Just a moment, Minjae.
It's me.
I was talking with Minjae.
Just this and that.
I said we were just talking.
Let's hang up. I'll call you later.
Honey, wait!
Why... Going to sleep already?
No... I'll go get changed.
All right.
Dad.
Forget about it.
What I just told you.
Must have been teenage angst, back then.
I'll be right back, Dad.
Think I won't kill you a second time?

If Youngjun goes to prison, then it'll all be yours.
What's that supposed to mean? He'll go to prison?!
- Is it you, Youngmin? - We'll just throw her into an asylum.
Make her look like she's got schizophrenia.
I just thought she might be hiding something from me.
It's all over now. Yang Insuk said she'll leave.
I'm never going to hate anyone again. But I won't love anyone, either.
I still remember what you said about waiting for me no matter what.
Yang Insuk was staring right at me. I must have hit the brakes without realizing.
What can I do now, Minjae?
No matter what anyone says, Minjae is your son.
