Episode 66
Something must've happened with Giseop.
But it's so strange.
She was crying so much before,
but now, she seems completely fine.
Ms. Jeong.
Yes?
Did you need me to do something?
Do something?
Are you preparing for dinner reservations?
Yes.
It's almost break time.
If you need to step out, go ahead.
I don't need to step out.
Thank you for the offer.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Hey, Suk.
Did something happen with you and Ms. Lee?
What do you mean?
Did she say something?
No. She used to disappear at break time
to go to your cafe,
but these days, she never goes.
If she doesn't want to come, so be it.
All I really want to see are my customers.
Suk, I have to go. I have a customer.
I think they make a cute couple.
Yes, if I get pregnant,
Byeongguk's family will surely come around.
Just you wait, Jinwu.
I'll make a little sibling for you.
Then you won't be lonely anymore.
Come sit over here.
I know I was a bit harsh this morning
when I called you a mistress.
I shouldn't have said that.
Anyway, that's that.
Also, did you know
that Child Services will be visiting shortly?
Yes, I heard.
For the time being, you'll need to move out.
Your presence here doesn't help our case.
If we're not careful, we might lose Jinwu.
I understand.
I'll stay at my mother's for a bit.
Okay.
You're much sharper than Yeonhui.
Great. When will you be leaving? Tomorrow?
Sure.
Okay, then. Make it so.
But mother...
As you've just said,
I'm not like Yeonhui.
I won't stand around like an idiot
and let you kick me out.
So don't waste your
energy on any silly ploys.
It'd be a shame if you fell ill.
- What? / - Hwayeong!
Goodnight.
Did you see that?
Yeonhui might be a devil,
but Hwayeong is evil incarnate.
What is it that you like about her?
Man!
I thought I'd be glad
now that she's not around.
Why do I keep thinking about her?
This is driving me crazy.
We're much more than just coworkers.
We slept together.
Oh, man.
Was business slow today, too?
Just do it!
You can do it!
Just stop it already!
Why do you keep
making me think about you?
I'm not one of those clingy women.
- Giseop. / - Huh?
Hey.
You're closing up already?
I don't have any customers, so...
We came to get some coffee, Professor Oh.
You don't have
to call me "professor" anymore.
How's Miranda?
Ms. Lee?
She's doing well. Why do you ask?
Oh, yeah. I think she's quitting soon.
You haven't heard?
Why? Why is she quitting?
I think she's getting married.
Getting married?
She didn't want to before. Why so suddenly?
She's getting older.
At that age, when you have the chance,
it's best to get married right away.
Do you think
Giseop will see Ms. Lee differently now?
Of course. That's how people are.
If he thinks she'll marry someone else,
he won't want to let her go.
If I was about to marry someone else,
what would you do?
I'd run to you and...
Oh, my! Put me down!
Oh, stop!
I'd sweep you off your feet, got it?
Don't joke like that anymore.
If you do it again, I'll...
You'll do what?
I'll kiss you.
What's gotten into you?
Honey.
How about we make a baby sibling for Jinwu?
It would make him less lonely.
Plus, it'll make your family warm up to me.
What do you think?
Just go to bed. I'm tired.
What's gotten into you lately?
You don't like me anymore?
Don't you love me anymore?
Honey.
Byeongguk!
Hello, I'm from Child Services.
Hello.
Hello. You must be Jinwu's grandfather.
Yes, I'm his grandfather.
The grandfather, the aunt and the mother.
The three of you live together?
Yes.
May I take a look around the house?
Yes. Of course.
Right this way. This is the master bedroom.
When Jinwu comes over,
will he be sharing a room with you?
Yes. He's still quite young,
so he's too scared to sleep on his own.
I'll give him his own room when school starts.
If you don't mind me asking,
how much is your monthly salary, Ms. Baek?
To be honest, I was hired as a temp.
I haven't been a full-time employee for long.
But by next year, I'll get promoted
and my salary will be a bit higher.
I see.
Your sister's unmarried
and she works at a clothing company.
Sir, you're unemployed, correct?
What?
Oh, yes. For now, but I'll have a job soon.
Then if you gained custody of Jinwu,
who would take care of him?
I would, of course.
I'll either work part-time or quit,
but I will take care of Jinwu.
I see.
Lee Myeongun
These are our customer complaint files.
Analyze them
and use them for our annual earnings report.
You have to finish it by the weekend, okay?
Okay, I'll do what I can.
Okay. Thanks.
When did you get here?
You must've been busy.
I called you many times.
I'm sorry. I was in a meeting.
I came here to see
how your visit from Child Services went.
She asked me who would raise Jinwu,
how much my monthly salary was,
and things of that nature.
Your financial situation is a primary concern.
I'm worried.
I wonder if raising Jinwu myself
is a selfish thing to ask for.
If the inspector's smart,
she'll see your family and realize
that love is more important than money.
Have faith, Yeonhui.
Hwayeong.
Lose some weight.
Who's this?
Have you been well?
Hwayeong, what are you doing here?
Did you get kicked out?
What are you doing? Put these away.
Leave it.
She's too scrawny to lift anything.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
Come sit over here.
Why are you here all of a sudden?
Did you and President Jeong fight?
Or did that awful old woman kick you out?
No, it's nothing like that,
so don't worry about it, mom.
I have to get to work. I'll see you later.
Hey, Hwayeong!
Chuja.
Something's not right.
Why would she pack her bags
and come here?
She definitely got kicked out.
Mom, did Hwayeong really get kicked out?
Sora, isn't it time for you to go to school?
Yeah, school.
Are you going to talk in secret again?
Fine. I'll go.
- I'll see you later. / - Have a great day.
Ssangsun, do you think she was kicked out?
I'm 100% sure.
Why else would she come with all her bags?
And you saw her face too, right?
She looked totally stressed out.
Imagine what a tough girl like that
would have to endure to get kicked out.
And as you know,
Ms. Gwak, that woman has a terrible temper.
Her temper is so frightening
that it would scare away the devil himself.
That old witch!
She looks down on us just because she's rich.
That she-devil's always scowling!
She's always glaring like this.
Gosh! A woman like that
needs to taste my knuckle sandwich.
Her face needs to feel my fists.
How dare she kick Hwayeong out?
It's making me hot with fury.
My rage is making my heart race.
Hey. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Stand up. Stand up!
Welcome.
Bring out some iced tea for our guest.
That's all right.
I'll just do my inspection and leave.
Still, you're a guest in my house.
You must be Jinwu's grandmother.
And you are?
I'm Jinwu's great-aunt.
Oh, I see.
Is Jinwu in his room?
Yes, right this way.
Okay.
May I open this?
Of course.
As you can see,
Jinwu's mother moved out
so it's filled with Jinwu's father's clothes.
Hey there.
I came here to meet you.
Can I stay here for a bit?
Jeong Jinwu
Oh, my. This must be you and your parents.
But you only wrote down your name.
Jeong Byeongguk, Jeong Jinwu
Lee Hwayeong
Lee Hwayeong?
Jinwu, is your mom's name Lee Hwayeong?
It's okay. You can tell me.
Is Lee Hwayeong your mom's name?
Before I leave,
I'd like to meet your housekeeper.
Is she in the kitchen?
Oh, dear. She just left to get groceries
in order to prepare dinner.
I see. I guess it can't be helped.
Well, I'll get going then.
I wish you could've stayed for tea.
I can't believe this.
Why would Jinwu...
What is it this time?
Why would he write Lee Hwayeong's name
on a drawing of his mom?
I'm sure Hwayeong is behind this.
He doesn't even talk much anymore.
Children are usually too shy
to speak to strangers.
Huija, but still...
Jinsuk.
It all went well. Don't jinx it.
I'm stressed out enough as is.
Something's not right.
Jinwu.
Are you drawing again?
You're going to be a great artist one day.
Who's this? Is this your mom?
- Grandma Jinsuk. / - Yeah?
Is Lee Hwayeong my mom from now on?
What?
Jin-Jinwu.
How did this...
Jinwu, you see...
If you say it's Baek Yeonhui,
you're in trouble!
Jinwu...
This is the place.
I don't want to barge in.
What kind of mother are you?
Your daughter just got kicked out!
How can you say that?
Quit whining!
What's all this ruckus?
Who is it?
We're here to see President Gwak.
They say they're here to see you.
Me? Who is?
Why do you open the door for everyone?
You should ask who it is first.
I'm sorry.
And who might you be?
We're here to see President Gwak.
You're Hwayeong's mother.
What brings you here?
I came to speak with you.
Go ahead.
Well...
My daughter Hwayeong...
We came all this way.
Aren't you going to ask us to sit?
You're not dogs.
Do I need to tell you to sit or stand?
But if you insist, sit.
I said sit.
You must be thirsty.
Would you like some water?
Bring them some water.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm here to talk about Hwayeong.
My daughter Hwayeong
came over this morning with her bags.
Did you kick her out, by any chance?
Oh, is that what this is about?
I didn't kick her out. She left on her own.
Why? Why did she move out?
What did she do wrong after she moved in?
What did she ever do wrong?
You invited her in. Why did you kick her out?
I invited her in?
Ma'am, let's get one thing straight here.
I didn't invite her in.
She moved in here against my wishes.
Why would I let such a lowlife,
good-for-nothing into my home?
A lowlife?
Look here!
Don't you dare raise your voice at me.
Have I lied to you?
She's a lowlife, she's not a girl with class.
She sold her body to become a surrogate.
She's no better than a dog.
In that case, why would you live with
a lowlife dog like her?
You should be grateful to her.
You begged her to be your surrogate.
Now you say she's a lowlife?
What makes you so great?
What makes you so much better?
I begged Hwayeong?
Me?
She said she needed the money
and she approached me on her own.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Like mother, like daughter.
Look here, President Gwak!
That's right! Like mother, like daughter.
So what are you going to do about it?
Look here.
Just who do you think you're glaring at?
Are you kidding me?
Why wouldn't we glare at you?
Did you expect us to smile?
Get them out of here.
You janitors have a lot of nerve!
Yeah. I am a janitor! So what?
Is that a crime?
You cranky old witch!
Who do you think you are?
- Ms. Gwak! / - That's right, you witch!
Hey, get out!
What? What did you say?
Get over here!
Ssangsun!
How dare you?
Ms. Gwak!
You wretch!
Yes, l guess we can go with this.
Understood, Ms. Jeong.
I'll get going now.
- Ms. Lee. / - Yes?
It's going to be break time soon.
Aren't you going to Professor's Oh's cafe?
I quit that cafe. And so...
Quit the cafe?
What's that mean?
Did she quit drinking coffee?
Or did she quit liking Giseop?
Hello?
Ms. Jeong.
Please come home quickly.
It's urgent.
What happened?
Jinsuk.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Jinsuk.
Oh, my goodness.
Hui-Huija.
I'm furious!
You're bleeding!
What in the world happened here?
Tell me! What happened here?
Hwayeong's mom came here and did this...
Hwayeong's mom?
Jinsuk, I'm so furious!
I can't take it!
I can't believe she did this to me!
How did this... How could this happen?
Oh, Jinsuk.
Get home right now.
And bring Hwayeong with you!
Looks like you're working hard.
Have some coffee.
Mr. Yu, you bought us coffee?
Thank you.
You're the powerhouse of the company.
I have to take care of you.
Mr. Yu, you're the best!
I could hear you laughing
from across the hall.
It's nice to see.
They didn't even get to take days off.
You should reward them for their hard work.
Is that so?
Sounds good. Send me the recieipts.
I'll pay for your dinner.
Hello?
Come with me to my house.
Ow, my back.
Sora.
You can stop. Your arms will hurt.
Mom, shouldn't you call Hwayeong?
No, don't.
Ow, my back!
Then should I call Uncle Chansik?
Don't, Sora!
Why would you call him?
He's so in love with that she-devil boss of his
that he doesn't care about us anymore.
That old witch may be old,
but she's got some strong teeth!
She must have a great dental plan.
Ssangsun, this is all your fault.
Why did you tell me to go over there?
Why'd you get me into this?
What?
Your daughter was kicked out of the house.
What kind of mother just sits idly by?
You saw what that old witch did.
She acted like we were subhuman.
She said we were like dogs!
Still, we're going to be in-laws one day.
Wake up already, Chuja.
She called Hwayeong a lowlife.
What kind of a mother are you?
If I were you, I'd have killed her!
I'm so angry!
I should've ripped her face clean off.
I'm so mad.
Look at this bite mark!
Welcome home.
What happened to your face?
What's wrong? What happened?
Go see your mother.
Your aunt's here as well.
Like mother, like daughter!
Ow, my back!
What happened, Aunt Jinsuk?
Mother.
What happened? Who did this to you?
Who do you think? Your mother!
What?
Hwayeong.
Is your mother this brutal?
How could she do this to a person?
My mother?
Is she a street thug or something?
Don't you think this is too much?
Why did she do it?
What reason did she have?
How would I know? She just barged in
and said we kicked Hwayeong out.
We took pictures.
Huija's going to sue for assault.
Where are you going?
She's a total lowlife without any class.
Byeongguk.
Why do I have to deal with such lowlives?
They're worse than scum.
They even grabbed me by the hair.
Jinsuk, I need to go to the hospital.
Let's go.
We'll get it all on record
and press assault charges.
Let's go.
Mother.
Get it together, you moron!
Do you still want to be with her?
You're not any better, Jinsuk!
Break up with Chef Bae at once!
Right now!
How could you be with her uncle?
You two are killing me!
Sora, take clear photos.
Make sure you get these bruises.
And this one too.
Get a good shot of the bite mark too.
Okay.
- Come here. / - Okay.
Are you insane?
You wanted photos for evidence.
You're going to pose for them like that?
You're right. I forgot.
Sora, do it again.
Okay.
I'm taking it now.
Can we press charges now?
Shouldn't we see a doctor?
Of course we should.
We need to get a report.
It's not like we're going to press charges.
We don't need to spend money on a report.
Why wouldn't we press charges?
We deserve compensation.
- Hwayeong. / - Hwayeong!
What happened?
Why did you go over to that house?
Why else?
You got kicked out.
We went because we were furious.
She invited you. How could she kick you out?
Mom!
Are you insane?
I told you I wasn't kicked out!
What?
You weren't?
I left because of the custody battle.
It was my decision to leave!
Mom, what's your problem?
Why do you always make my life a hassle?
Go apologize right now.
No! I can't!
What? Go apologize, mom!
Do you know what that woman said to me?
"Like mother, like daughter," she said.
She said you becoming a surrogate for money
makes you a good-for-nothing lowlife.
She said you're worthless,
and she'll never accept you into her family.
Do you still want to be her daughter-in-law?
I have no idea what you're thinking,
but I don't ever want you to be
her daughter-in-law!
She might think you're worse than a dog,
but to me, you're precious.
You're more precious to me
than anyone else in the world.
So don't even think about
living in that house ever again.
They don't even treat you like
a human being!
You just figured that out?
You didn't know that's how I was living?
Hwayeong!
Yes, mom. That's how I've been living.
Everything you said is true,
but I'm never giving up. You know why?
Because I have to show them!
I have to show them what I, Lee Hwayeong,
am truly made of!
Stop interfering.
I'm moving into that house no matter what.
So go beg for forgiveness.
Apologize! Beg!
No way! Not over my dead body!
Mom!
Let's just live like this.
Just give up and live like this.
What more do you want?
You have money
and the whole family's stable.
What else do you want?
I'll tell you again. Go beg for forgiveness.
If you really care for me, go apologize!
Hwayeong!
I can't live like this!
I can't...
What is it? What happened?
What happened?
Why did you have to run out like that?
What do we do now?
What?
Your sister beat up Huija.
Now, Huija's going to press assault charges.
What? Assault charges?
Tomorrow, tell Mr. Kim
to go down to the station to press charges.
All those lowlives live under
the same roof together.
What did you expect?
By chance, did you see grandma
fighting with those old ladies?
I miss Baek Yeonhui.
Let me see Jinwu right now.
What?
Jinwu called me Baek Yeonhui!
We raised you all this time,
and yet you were a spy for her?
Stop it, mom.
You adopted her.
She's not even your daughter!
Sora!
Mom is Baek Yeonhui.
Ms. Lee is my other mom.
Lee Hwayeong.
