Episode 31
She's never been the kind of woman who could become my wife.
- Yes... - Stop trying to get in my way, Minjae.
Your growth solely depends on me.
If I gain nothing, the same goes for you.
I know that.
I know that you get rid of everything that gets in your way.
I know.
And I guess you'll do the same to me.
That's what scares me.
No... What I hate.
And that's why I can't forgive you.
I'm not looking for forgiveness here, I'm showing you how to get out of that jungle!
Mark my words.
Leave me again, and I'll never take you back.
Make your choice, Minjae.
Either live as my son, or run back inside that jungle.
I'll give you time to choose.
But my patience won't last forever.
I've already chosen!
Don't hold your breath.
I told you I'm not scared.
Minjae...
And your father?
Did he leave?
Yes.
What did he tell you?
Minjae...
He did nothing wrong.
- Mom. - Yes, tell me.
Go ahead.
Speak to me, Minjae...
Uncle Youngshik said he grew up without even knowing who his father was.
And why are you bringing that up?
He only found out he was grandpa's son when he started college.
His mother finally told him the truth on her deathbed.
Let's go talk at home.
Minjae...
I told you, didn't I?
That I was going to tell you everything, when you were a little older.
- Mom. - Yes, Minjae.
Speak to me.
My name is not Kim Minjae...
I'm Song Minjae, right?
What are you talking about?
I'm not Dad's son.
And who says that?
Answer me.
Who told you that ridiculous nonsense?
It's all right, I don't really mind.
Whomever my father and my real mother might be, it doesn't matter.
Minjae, you're his son!
You're the fruit of your father's love for your mother, Minjae.
I won't forget you.
I know how much you love me.
And I never questioned that even once.
Minjae...
Mom.
If there is any reason why I'm still alive,
you're the only one.
I'm still in this world thanks to your love for me.
Minjae... What on earth are you talking about?
Don't you ever forget me, Mom.
If you abandon me as well,
I'm scared to even think about what will happen.
So scared, I couldn't even contemplate death.
Minjae.
Should I give Baek Ingi a call?
I'll call and have her come here.
Let me give her a call.
Wait here a moment, I'll be right back.
Mom.
Remember? The promise you made with me.
You told me you'd give me the entire world, remember?
A world without tears or sadness.
But there is no such thing.
There is no such thing as that kind of world.
Minjae.
Come here to me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Minjae...
I'll create that world for you.
We're almost there.
Minjae...
Minjae!!
Get in, you won't be able to reach him on foot.
Wait for him at home.
You shouldn't worry too much.
No one with so many tears to shed would ever commit suicide.
If you just wait for him at home, he'll come back for sure.
From tomorrow onwards, stop working at that department store.
For the time being, just stay at home.
What did you tell Minjae?
I just made myself clear.
Saying what?
I just told you what!
Couldn't you just calm him down and bring him back home?
- What could you possibly have told him... - Wait until he comes back on his own.
How do you think he feels now?
Is the fact you're not his real mother really the end of the world?
Honey. But then Minjae...
What I was saying!
Is that you should let him overcome this on his own.
I can't do that. What if he ends up committing suicide?
Are you out of your mind? You have the guts to say that?
It's because you keep acting like this that he's getting weaker by the minute!
Minjae needs help, and if you ignore him when he asks for a helping hand...
you never know what the consequences might be.
Did Yoon Nayoung love him that much?
Say what?
I guess foster mothers do feel affection as well.
Sometimes much more than real mothers would.
But you never really loved anyone.
I guess you're just telling yourself that you love him,
since that will give you the strength to go on.
Minjae means to me more than my own life.
I could do everything for his sake. Even it meant dying for him!
Let me go!
I'll show you what kind of woman you really are.
Let go! What's wrong with you?
I said let go!
Take a good look.
Look at the Yoon Nayoung inside that mirror.
What do you see?
Take a good look and tell me what you see.
Look back at how your life has gone all these years!
"I'm not human, I'm a monster."
"A heartless beast with no blood flowing in my veins!"
Take a look inside that mirror and say it.
See if you really love him more than your own life!
Say it!!
Yes.
I love him.
More than my own life.
Where are you going?
To look for Minjae.
Look at what I risked doing.
How could I come home, leaving him all alone in this cold?!
Go to sleep first. I'll go find Minjae.
Did anything happen to Minjae?
I was wondering if he came here.
He didn't.
Why don't you try to call him?
Then again... You don't trust me, anyway.
Sorry about the other day. I wanted to make the president pay, for once...
Nothing happened. He quietly slept on my sofa all night long.
This was the only place I thought he could turn to.
Would you like to come in?
You don't look well... So come in and have a cup of tea.
I'll take Minjae inside.
Minjae...
I had nowhere else to go.
Let's go in.
You could at least have protected her.
Mom died a miserable death because of you!
That woman wasn't your mother. She merely gave birth to you!
That woman abandoned you the moment you were born.
She didn't abandon me, you abandoned her!
If she protected you until the end, I would have done the same with her!
Stop lying!
You forced her to do so.
You forced her to abandon me and leave.
You're right. I guess I'm the one who abandoned her.
Because all she was to me was an obstacle threatening my future.
She's never been the kind of woman who could become my wife.
To beat my brothers and earn my father's confidence, I kept a low profile for 20 years,
while trying to tame the flames of ambition that were raging inside me.
Yes... Those were your true colors.
You trampled on everyone and everything to gain what you wanted!
So I can't respect a father like you.
And neither can I understand nor love you!
The real monster is not you, it's me.
That beast is not Yoon Nayoung,
it's Kim Youngmin.
Are you leaving now?
You're shooting all night, so what about him?
Just let him sleep, and don't bother him.
Sleep tight until tomorrow morning.
Nayoung.
Nayoung!
Open the door, Nayoung!
Nayoung!
You could at least have turned on the heater.
You were freezing in there.
Get up and have this. I brought you some ginger tea.
- Nayoung. - Just leave me here, Eonni.
- When did you get here? - In the early morning.
How did you find out I moved here?
I told you that you couldn't run away from me no matter what.
- How can you talk to me that way? - Eonni.
I was just worried, that's all. That you'd disappear.
Go back to sleep. You'll feel much better, then.
Eonni.
Just stay by my side.
Is anything wrong?
Just stay here by my side, so I can sleep.
All right.
What is this?
It's just a hit list, isn't it?
Give me your consent, Father.
No way.
It's the only way to save our group.
You want me to abandon all those founding members?
- They'll receive adequate compensation. - Compensation?!
- Yes. It will be generous. - You must be out of your mind!
Don't you know what makes or breaks a corporation?
It's people!
How can you run a business when you treat people like this?
- If you let compassion sway you... - It's not compassion, but basic human values!
Father. Atlantic Group must be reborn.
And to achieve that, we must rid ourselves of all its rotten branches.
Why do you keep repeating the same thing like a damned parrot?
I hope you'll reflect on it, Father.
You little...
Am I going to be next on your list?
If you don't like the way I work, feel free to tell me.
I will back off without reserves.
What's that supposed to mean, Youngmin?
Minjae's real mother was someone else?!
Speak to me!
Is that true?
Yes.
What.... And why didn't you ever tell me?
She sold him for a few pennies the moment he was born, what else could I do?
She sold him?!
That's all I'll say.
Just tell me the whole story. What happened between you two?
Just ignore it.
All right!
- I'll have to ask your wife, then. - Mother...
Go.
I was seeing someone in New York, before I married Nayoung.
Who was this woman?
She got pregnant and suddenly showed up, blackmailing me for the sake of money.
That motherless little wench...
She doesn't even deserve to be called his mother.
Where is she living now?
Is she still trying to blackmail you?
- She died. - When?
Mother... I said just ignore it.
Is it really something I can ignore?
What if your father learns about it?
- He'll start taking distance from Minjae. - He probably knows already.
He what?!
So be careful not to bring it up.
What now...
If they learn of this in Shinmun-Ro, let alone marriage talks,
we'll become a laughingstock in the entire neighborhood.
Answer the phone.
Eat more, you need to regain strength.
Thanks, Eonni.
Thanks for what?
What?
Now that I think about it, you're the only family I have left?
What's that supposed to mean?
You have a husband and a son.
Like a husband would compare with blood relatives.
When you break up, you become even worse than strangers.
Is there something wrong between you and your husband?
We never loved each other anyway, what could possibly go wrong?
You know that yourself. Since you've dated him a few times.
He never liked any of us to begin with.
- Let me clear this. - Eonni.
Youngmin didn't marry me out of love. You know that, too.
And the same goes for me.
They say not too many people marry out of love.
You just grow fondness for each other by living together.
You resent me, don't you?
I don't.
It's all right.
I deserve it.
Sleep a little more. Nothing beats a good night of sleep.
Eonni.
What can I do now?
Tell me.
If there is anything you want to get out of your system,
you need to talk about it with someone.
Who did you tell that to?
You got screwed by me, Kang Jungu, the girl you raised.
Even one of my in-laws.
So who did you talk about all that pent-up resentment with?
I don't feel any resentment.
What are you, Buddha? Or maybe Jesus?
Then again...
I guess that's the reason you refuse to break up with that man.
Despite enduring all those humiliations.
Nayoung.
Talk to me. Isn't that what you came here for?
Eonni, they might take Minjae away from me.
What are you talking about?
He means more to me than my own life, but Baek Ingi might take him away from me.
Baek Ingi?!
No matter what I say, they won't listen.
They even embrace each other right in my face.
Then, is what the newspaper said right? About them dating.
Eonni, what am I supposed to do now?
If I tell him not to meet her, Minjae might do something serious.
And if I just ignore it, he might lose his grandfather's favors.
Every time I see Baek Ingi, I can barely stop myself from killing her.
She keeps smirking at me trying to rile me up...
This one time, I couldn't find Minjae so I called her.
I asked whether Minjae was there, and she said he was sleeping.
- On her lap, like some baby. - Nayoung.
Just ignore it.
How can I ignore that?! She's taking my son away from me!
Of course... There's no way you'd take my side.
Nayoung. Let me finish.
I have no time for this. Better wake up and find a solution.
Nayoung...
Baek Ingi...
Baek Ingi what?
What about Baek Ingi?
Never mind.
Stop putting on airs.
Just because I show some weakness, you give me that air of superiority?!
Give me my phone.
Eonni.
I'm having it hard enough as it is.
If you really made up your mind to leave Kim Youngjun, keep your word.
Don't try to send me crazy like everyone else.
Are they really dating?
Minjae and Baek Ingi, is it really serious between them?
What would you ask that for?
How serious is it? Their relationship.
None of your business.
Nayoung.... Nayoung!!
Nayoung...
Baek Ingi...
Baek Ingi... is your daughter.
She can't date your son.
Wake up, Nayoung.
What is all this weakness?
It's hard enough to win even if you show your teeth and go for it...
No one is on my side.
I can handle it on my own.
I can take this to the end, all by myself.
Come on in, Hyung.
- Why are you standing there? - Youngmin.
If it's what I think, don't bother.
This company is just pandemonium waiting to happen.
It's filled with opportunists trying to appease Dad for their own benefit.
But who could I possibly blame? It's all because of Dad's rule of thumb.
- Dad is... - Just worry about your job.
The only reason he split this group was to see the two of us compete against each other.
So let's give it a try. And see who wins.
You know that Youngdae is trying to put all the blame on Dad?
Is he?
They might even summon him, sooner than later.
I'm sure he was prepared for that.
Youngmin.
I don't care about this post. I'm not just a puppet.
I'm going to do things my way. I told Dad as well.
That if he's got any problem with that, I'll back off any time.
All right. If that's what you wish for.
Hyung.
Don't meet Yoon Jeongsuk again.
Stop trying to disgrace my name.
Watch what you say, Youngmin.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I could forgive you meeting her without knowing who she was,
but if you keep meeting her despite knowing who she is, then I won't.
- Forgive?! - Don't bring infamy to our family.
Angry?
For being insulted by your little brother?
What...
What made you change so much?
This is the real me.
You just couldn't get it, that's all.
These can't be your true colors.
You still remain my brother, and deep down, you still...
If you have time to lecture me, I suggest you spend it on your company.
Beating me won't be as easy as you think.
I'll be waiting for your challenge.
Let's have a word, Mister Hong.
What are you doing?
What are you filling Youngmin's head with?
- What are you trying to say? - I know that you're behind it.
I... only did what the chairman told me.
You're provoking him to bring harm to my father!
I merely did it for... for the group's sake.
If you don't stop, I could kill you.
It's me, Hong.
I think....
I think Youngjun might have found out.
You don't need to worry about that.
Youngmin will do it. Until Chairman Kim is defeated.
Yes.
Who's there?
It's me, Assistant Kim of the supply division.
Chief Yang.
I bought some stocks, so I was just checking them... I'm sorry.
I'll pretend I never saw you.
Then... I'll pretend I never heard that, too.
And they said the world looks different when seen from a president's seat.
Guess they were right?!
Really?
I wonder when my turn will come...
I'm sure it'll be soon.
For that to happen, I guess I'll have to be good to you.
Deokseong and Nam Aeri had a little "something" together.
Really?
I really can't figure her out.
She was almost groveling at her husband's feet professing her love,
and now she suddenly has an affair?
Wasn't this a big enough piece of information?
Right... I'll give you that.
But, what now? People have learned about Minjae's real mother.
I can only gain my in-laws' praise, why would I worry?
Since I sacrificed myself for the sake of my husband and the Kim family.
Don't you agree?
It's so touching.
Just a moment.
Who is it?
What is it?
Really?
Wait there, I'll leave right away.
Hope I can keep counting on you.
She doesn't even get tired of it.
- Where is it? - Incheon.
- Incheon? - Yes. I could barely find him.
As after getting scolded by President Hwang, he's been keeping a low profile.
Good job.
But you can't tell Baek Ingi.
What's there to worry about?
I'll bury her once and for all.
He said he'll hand over the CD without any conditions,
but he wants you to protect him and make sure he's safe from President Hwang.
Sure.
Would you like to have dinner, Ma'am?
- My husband? - He said he'll be late.
I have no appetite, either.
- So how is it? - This is no joke.
Just a moment.
What does it show?
I can't really say it on the phone, but I think you should see this.
Or should I just post it as it is?
What should I do, Ma'am?
If this gets out in the open, Baek Ingi will be buried for good.
- Is it that bad? - Yes...
Just keep it for now.
I'll first meet her one last time, and then decide.
- Are you leaving, Ma'am? - I'll go to Gahwedong.
Yes.
Sit.
What will you drink?
- Give him a glass of juice. - Yes.
Your mother must have looked for you all night long.
Your aunt called me.
She found her car outside her door, and saw her sleeping inside.
Drink.
I wasn't going to see you for the time being.
But I just called you because I couldn't bear to see your mother in that state.
Just come back home, and don't say a thing.
Give me some time.
Time for what?
You've grown up receiving more love from your mother than anyone would ever need.
I don't really care if you resent me,
but don't break your mother's heart that way.
That's not going to bring your real mother back, anyway.
You make things seem really simple.
What happened to her hurt me as well, but don't think she's innocent.
But if she was going to die anyway, you could at least have given her a decent send-off.
It's that what you blame me for?
I hate that cold and calculating side of you.
- And I can't understand it. - I told you I wasn't looking for that, didn't I?
I know. That you don't like me.
And that's natural, since someone you never loved gave birth to me.
Sit, I'm not done talking!
From now on, I'm going to provide for myself.
- How? - I didn't come here for you.
- It was just for Mom's sake. - Just come home then, so she'll stop worrying.
I actually feel a little relieved, after seeing you.
I always worried about the fact that I didn't resemble you.
But after seeing you, I finally found some peace of mind.
Thank you for raising me all these years,
Dad.
I suggest you take a DNA test, to see whose son Minjae really is.
Minjae.
Heejeong. Bring some more beansprouts.
- Yes, Grandma. - I'll do it, Mother.
Aigoo... Look at how she acts.
- Where is your mother? - At the hospital.
Because of my father, she's become famous there.
Why?
She's afraid people will find out he's faking it,
so she's throwing money around, trying to silence doctors and nurses.
What's with all the chatter? I said bring more beansprouts.
Yes, Mother.
I'll take care of the rest, so just wrap up here and go rest.
Thank you.
The hospital must be in a frenzy, talking about her.
Have a seat there.
Sit and let's have a word.
At the dinner table?
Forget about Youngmin, but how can you keep quiet about all this?
What are you referring to?
Listen to you...
So, what, are you going to feign ignorance now?
I asked because I really don't know what you're talking about.
So Minjae is not your real son?
What's that supposed to mean?
Must she give birth to him to call him her son?
You start, too? You shouldn't take her side on this.
I apologize, Father.
You just worked hard raising someone else's child.
Are you even throwing compliments at her now?
- What did she ever do wrong? - Then she should at least have told the truth!
And what difference would it make?
It would have only made Youngmin look like a wretched fool.
I'm so embarrassed I can't even set foot outside this house.
Loyalty doesn't exactly run in the family, does it?
You and your son.
Nice showing, in your daughter-in-law's presence.
Why, is that a secret? You spreading your seed all over the place.
At the first strange phone call, my heart starts racing.
What strange call?
Be glad I don't even talk about those things.
Why, you think I don't get people claiming to be your children anymore?
It's a con, they're trying to fool you.
I have to shut them up with money without even knowing who they are.
You should first look into whom you're dealing with.
What's the point?
It'll only bring him more disgrace.
- Darling. - Yes, Father.
Raise Minjae well. What's there to be embarrassed about?!
Thank you, Father.
That was good.
Where are you going now, while I'm still talking?
Stop making a scene. You'll only make Minjae depressed.
- I'll get going now, Father. - Yeah.
Or at least hide it to the end.
Then again, you probably feel even worse.
- No, Mother... I just... - Think I don't know how you're feeling?
I've had to cope with that day in and day out with the chairman.
I'm sorry, Mother. I just couldn't tell you.
Aigoo... But what about our poor Minjae?
They'll start talking behind his back all the time.
Is he son of strangers? He's still his father's child.
Still, think they'd let that slide? Look at Youngshik.
He's his son, but look at all the contempt he's getting.
So you should show even more affection towards Minjae.
Don't you worry about me. It's everyone else that concerns me.
But if you show even more affection than usual, they won't be able to say a thing.
Mother...
Aigoo.... All right!
Enough talking about him.
Thank you, Mother.
See? What did I tell you?
I told you she would never have children.
Ehh Ehh...
What if Youngmin had been your only child? Your blood line would have ended with him!
- Stop prattling! - Why are you screaming at me?
I'm so angry I could explode.
Did she deceive you? Youngmin did.
Why are you blaming him now?
Minjae's real mother didn't deserve to be his wife.
Why, an ironworks shop's daughter does?
Wait... Did you know already, then?
Answer me, will you?
Minjae came back.
Just leave him alone for today.
You did the right thing, Minjae.
Go to sleep now.
Thanks, Honey. For forgiving Minjae.
I feel as if we just survived a huge storm.
What's wrong with Minjae?
After all we've done, he just left without saying Hi.
He called me to say he was going to meet his father.
Really?
Careful with him. He's got issues.
Why don't you just open the door?
If Minjae shows up, I'll get anxious.
- Who is it? - That ajumma.
Do I say you're not in?
Let her in.
Come on in.
I had something to tell you.
I'm sure. It's not like you'd come here just to see me.
Have a seat.
Ingi... I'll go out for groceries.
Have a seat, Ajumma.
What should I call you?
Every time we meet, that kind of drives me crazy.
You raised me all those years, so I should just call you "Mom."
Hyejin...
Don't call me that.
It's not a name I wish to remember.
Can I give you some coffee?
What's going on between you and Kim Minjae?
What did you say?
The newspaper said that you like each other.
Is it true?
Look at what she's asking...
Hyejin.
You told me you wanted to know who your real mother was, right?
Don't you want to know?
Who is it?
Then, first answer me.
Are you really dating Kim Minjae?
And what does it have to do with that?
I'm asking how serious it is between you two.
Ajumma.
You're Yoon Nayoung's sister, right?
And how do you know that?
I looked at your family register,
as I thought I might find some clues.
How did she find out you raised me?
She doesn't know. That I raised you.
Don't lie to me.
Didn't you just come here on her behalf?
To stop me from meeting Minjae.
That's not it!
Tell me.
Even if you call me "Ajumma," I'll be just fine.
But at least think of all the affection I've shown you over the years, and answer.
How serious is it with Kim Minjae?
Fine.
You even refuse money to thank you for all you did,
so I'll just tell you.
At first, meeting him was just a show.
But what's going on now...
is for real.
Then...
We love each other.
You can't!
What do you mean we can't?
I said we love each other!
You really love him?
Yes.
To death.
Why would I care if you and his mother are sisters?
It's not like we're blood relatives!
Nayoung...
is your real mother!
Minjae's mother is your mother.
She's the woman who gave birth to you!

Remember? The promise you made with me.
A world without tears or sadness.
- Must be hard because of Minjae. - I understand why you did it.
- Don't you know Hyejin? - Hyejin what?!
- Wouldn't people find out anyway, eventually? - My past?
- How did you find this place? - So this could bury Baek Ingi?
- Why? I said that for your sake. - I only did what Dad told me!
- It's a disappointment. - I guess you can bury my career,
but that will drive Minjae crazy.
Don't you ever look for me again.
I don't want to know who my parents are.
