Episode 30
Mom, why did you pretend
you didn't know Hwayeong earlier?
Oh, because...
Just because.
You'll understand once you grow up.
- Hi. / - You're home!
I was upset when you
ignored us at the restaurant earlier.
Yeah.
Why did you do that?
Don't meddle in grown-ups' affairs.
You don't know anything.
Don't meddle, okay?
I was just curious.
There you go again!
Why scold her the minute you walk in?
Sora didn't do anything wrong.
Of course she'd say hi to you.
And she's allowed to ask.
I've been at work all day!
I'm tired from work!
Don't add to it, okay?
Don't act like you're my sister in public.
Don't act like you know me.
I hate it when you do that.
Why, that awful girl! I ought to...
How dare you slam that door? You brat.
Hwayeong's just tired, that's all.
You heard her, right?
She said she's been working all day.
Try to understand.
You know she has a bad personality, right?
Why would you say that to her?
You're bad-mouthing her sister?
When did you get here?
Just now.
Shik, that was a bit extreme earlier.
We were in the middle of dinner.
And you kicked us out just like that?
It wasn't a crime for us to be there.
We didn't steal anything.
We had no choice.
I know, I know.
But if you really think about it,
they should actually be thanking us.
They got a son thanks to Hwayeong.
Chuja.
Okay, okay.
Oh, whatever.
I'm so upset!
I didn't even get to finish the meal. Geez.
I'll buy you something better next time.
Just let it go.
Oh, where's Hwayeong?
She's here. She's in her room.
Hwayeong...
Ms. Lee Hwayeong, may I come in?
Come in.
What's up?
I wanted to talk to you.
Uncle Chansik, don't ever bring
mom and Sora to the restaurant again.
I didn't. It was Ms. Lee,
I mean, Gonghui, who invited them.
Fine, but regardless.
I was so worried earlier.
I couldn't act like I didn't know you,
and I couldn't look you in the eye.
If Ms. Jeong finds out, it'll only be
a matter of time before I'm fired.
Then who'll take care of your mom and Sora?
If you're that scared, just quit.
Can't you quit instead?
Uncle.
Actually, the truth is...
I can't tell her that I like Ms. Jeong!
What? Tell me.
Never mind. Forget it.
You're not going to answer my calls
or ever meet me again?
Honey!
What's this?
It's Yu Seongbin again?
What exactly is your relationship with him?
What do you mean? Don't be like this.
- Give it back. / - I won't.
Tell me. What kind of relationship is it?
It's nothing! Why are you so sensitive?
Me? Sensitive?
This is nothing?
You're not going to answer my calls
or ever meet me again?
Honey...
Tell me what your relationship is.
Why are you being like this?
You have no right to treat me like this.
What? What do you mean by that?
I'm your husband,
and my wife is texting with another man.
No husband would allow that!
I'm no fool!
You stay out all night without even calling,
so how can you do this to me?
Honey...
Are you okay?
Jinwu!
It's okay! It's okay. Come with me.
Jinwu. I'm sorry for making so much noise.
Go to sleep. Sleep tight, little Jinwu.
Mom?
Did you fight with dad?
Not really. Just a little.
Mom.
Don't fight. It scares me.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that.
Grandma will scold you.
When I fight at school,
I get a scolding from the teacher.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Now, close your eyes and sleep, Jinwu.
Okay, I'll sleep now.
Don't leave, mom.
Okay, I won't.
Sleep tight.
The tilefish is really good today.
Right? Have your fill of it.
Yeonhui really likes tilefish.
Why hasn't she been in touch lately?
Junhui, have you been in touch with her?
Well, off and on.
Actually, I stopped by her cafe yesterday.
She looked really worn out,
probably since tending to Jinwu is so tough.
Oh?
Get her some Oriental medicine.
I told her I would.
But she got mad and said she didn't need it.
She's so stubborn.
She takes after you.
Junhui, is something going on with you?
What? Why?
I thought you'd get mad,
saying we favor Yeonhui. But you're so quiet.
No.
You should be good to her, dad.
I should get going.
What's gotten into her?
I told you she's all grown up now.
What will I do?
I'm doomed if I tell them, doomed if I don't.
If mom and dad
find out what Byeongguk did, they'll blow up.
Why isn't Yeonhui here yet?
She is a bit late today.
Yumi, tell Byeongguk breakfast is ready.
Bring Jinwu, too.
There they are.
Oh, my. What happened to your forehead?
I bumped it.
You should be more careful.
Why are you so clumsy?
Where's Byeongguk?
He's still sleeping. He must be really tired.
Grandma.
Mom and dad fought last night.
We weren't fighting, Jinwu.
Yes, you were. You got hurt because of dad.
What?
Mother.
Mother...
Wow, Byeongguk's getting worse by the day.
Totally.
Oh, geez.
Mother, that's not what really happened.
Get up.
Mom.
Did you do this?
Did you do this to her?
It was an accident...
Have you gone insane?
How dare you hit your wife
in this day and age?
Did you tell her?
That's not what happened, mother.
Quiet! I don't want to hear it!
You used to rave about her,
calling her an angel, loving her over me.
And now you're hitting her?
What if Jinwu learns this from you?
Mother.
I know you're my son and all,
but I can't tolerate this.
How dare you hit a woman?
And you, Yeonhui.
What did you do
to make my sweet Byeongguk do this?
You probably deserved it.
If this happens ever again,
in front of Jinwu,
I won't let it slide. Am I clear?
I said, am I clear?
Yes, mom. Enough now.
Why aren't you answering me?
Yes, mother.
You wretched fool.
Ms. Baek, you're here.
Someone's been waiting...
I told you not to come see me anymore.
What happened to your forehead?
I bumped it.
About not seeing me...
Seongbin.
I'm sorry,
but you're making me uncomfortable.
I know I've been relying on you a lot,
but I don't want to keep doing that.
This involves both Junhui and Byeongguk.
Please try to understand.
I don't know what you think,
but I just want to live happily with Jinwu.
Yeonhui.
Donghyeon will understand, I'm sure.
And he'll forgive me.
Goodbye.
Hello, Ms. Jeong.
Yes, hello.
I...
Geez.
What's this? What is this?
- My earring! / - Wait!
Why aren't you helping me get it off?
Hold on. Hold on!
Oh, dear! What am I going to do?
Be patient.
Oh, my. Jessica, what are they doing?
What kind of situation is this?
They're blatantly showing their affection!
Wait. Wait one second!
Do something!
Don't move.
Do something!
Please be quiet, you two.
Ouch.
What bad luck first thing in the morning.
Bad luck?
I should be the one saying that!
Oh, man!
Chef Michael.
Where employees can see you,
this is going overboard, isn't it?
It makes me sick.
It makes me sick to my stomach!
That hurt.
Why do we keep having issues like that?
Come in.
I'd like to talk to you.
Have a seat.
You have something against me, right?
- No. / - But you do.
No, I don't.
I know you do. Everyone knows.
You should be honest.
What?
I...
I love you.
I wouldn't have kissed you unless I loved you.
From the moment I first laid eyes on you,
I felt the brilliance of your aura.
And that's because I felt
so attracted to you, Ms. Jeong Jinsuk.
I felt such love for you.
And?
Is it okay for me to love you?
Though it may be a pathetic attempt,
even if this love turns out to be uncertain,
I want to give it a try.
I love you, Ms. Jeong Jinsuk.
Why are you doing this?
Is your ear okay?
Pardon?
Good morning!
What are you...
You... You...
Oh, this dork.
Giseop! Giseop!
What's wrong with him now?
Ms. Lee! Ms. Lee! Quickly!
What is it?
Professor, what's the matter?
Oh, my! What will we do about him?
Oh, no! Professor! Professor!
Are you okay? Professor.
Are you okay? Oh, dear...
Why does my makeup look so bad today?
If I'm late, the supervisor will have a fit.
I'm late as it is. Who could it be?
Of course this would happen to me!
Who is it?
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Is this Ms. Lee Hwayeong's residence?
Pardon?
Yes, but why might you be...
You're her mother, right?
We've met before, right?
Yes, we have.
I know it's early. I'm sorry.
But I needed to have a word with you.
Please come in.
That's okay. I'm a busy person myself.
- Let's sit down. / - Right.
What's this?
What's this money for?
I'm not sure if you know, but
your daughter did a great deed for my family.
I thought I gave her enough before,
but perhaps your daughter didn't.
So she's returned once again.
By great deed, you mean...
You haven't heard?
Your daughter was a surrogate for my family.
Please don't say that.
I don't want to hear it any longer.
You can tell me if it's not enough.
But may I suggest your family emigrate?
Pardon? Emigrate?
If you don't have enough money to do that,
I can help you.
Why would you?
The reason is...
Perhaps you don't know this, but...
I thought you used to like money a lot.
Well, I should get going. I'm very busy.
That wretched woman.
$100,000?
Bae Chuja!
Why are you so late?
I said you'd get fired if you were late again.
Go get changed.
That's not the issue right now.
Have you seen my daughter?
Why are you asking me about her?
She's not answering her phone, either.
There goes your daughter.
Hwayeong.
I told you to pretend you don't know me.
That's not important right now.
Where can we go?
Come here.
Come on!
What, mom?
Why aren't you listening to me?
I told you to act like we're strangers.
What if someone sees us?
I told you it's urgent.
Look.
What's this?
It's from the president's mother.
She came this morning and gave this to me.
She said you did a great deed for them.
And she said we should go live abroad.
She said she could support us there.
What?
Mom, do you know...
Do you know what this money is in place of?
In place of my child, who they took from me.
This means they won't give him back to me.
Your child? How is he yours?
Anyway, you can't accept this.
Give it to me! I'm taking it!
Mom!
I understand what the money means to you.
But Hwayeong,
let's just take this and make a clean break.
We don't have to go abroad.
We can live a quiet life, far from here.
Hwayeong, you should stop all this.
What good is it doing you?
Find yourself a good man and get married!
I won't give you this money back!
Give it to me.
We can't take it.
I have to get my child back.
He's not yours! You were hired as a surrogate!
It's already over. Why are you doing this?
I'm not giving the money back.
I'll run far away and live off this money!
Mom!
Money?
You gave her money?
Yes.
Why did you do that?
You don't remember?
Her mother and her uncle came to me
after the car accident with Hwayeong.
They asked me to compensate them.
If I give money to such people,
they can't help but back down.
What good would it do even if they did?
Our problem is Hwayeong.
Just wait and see.
I'll do whatever it takes
to keep her away from Byeongguk and Jinwu.
Come in.
Hello, ma'am.
This is the new dessert.
Please try it out.
Oh? Thank you.
Oh. Seriously...
So my cutie pie Suk and Chef Bae
are an item?
Yes.
I had no idea Chansik would betray me.
Well...
I had no idea my cutie pie would do this, either.
What will I do?
Professor, what will I do?
Don't do this. Please calm down.
I'm sorry.
I should get going.
I'm not one of those clingy women.
Don't misunderstand.
Shall we go out for fried chicken and beer?
We didn't get to go last time.
That sounds great.
Cool beer in this hot weather.
Ms. Baek!
Oh? Yes.
Let's go out for beers.
I'm sorry. I can't today.
What about you?
Me? Me, neither.
Oh, well.
Yungi, let's just go together.
No, thanks.
What if it starts rumors?
What? You look 10 to 20 years older than me!
That's nonsense.
I'm leaving.
See you tomorrow.
What happened?
Did you tell your parents about our siblings...
No.
I have to meet someone before that.
Who?
I'm so nervous.
Is President Jeong Byeongguk in?
I'm his sister-in-law.
I'm sorry, but he's in a meeting.
It'll be a while till he's done.
Excuse me.
Me?
Yes.
What is it?
I'm Baek Yeonhui's sister.
And?
What do you mean, "and"?
I don't know what you want to discuss,
but I'm busy.
What are you doing?
You know why.
Well, you're brazen enough to cheat, so...
Cheat?
This is a place of businesss.
What will the employees think?
The CEO's sister-in-law shouldn't act this way.
His mistress is worried about me?
That's hilarious.
I thought you were Yeonhui's sister.
So why are you doing this?
It's none of your business, so stay out of it.
If anything must be said, ask Yeonhui to do it.
I'll be waiting with open arms.
Oh, Yeonhui can't say anything.
Yeonhui's a good person.
Don't hurt her.
Good person?
Do you really think that?
Listen up.
Your sister acts like she's an angel,
but she's actually the devil in disguise.
That's the kind of person she is.
Blame her for this, not me.
She brought this all on herself.
Welcome!
Hey.
What happened to your forehead?
I got hurt
playing with Jinwu.
Dummy.
What?
Just tell me if you're hurting.
Scream and let it out.
What's wrong? Is something upsetting you?
I saw Byeongguk cheating with my own eyes.
Junhui, I told you it isn't like that.
Yes, it is.
I saw him all over that woman.
I'm telling mom.
Don't, Junhui.
He's not that serious with her.
Oh, it's not serious?
Then what's your definition of serious?
That's not it.
He's totally into her.
Just get a divorce, okay?
You didn't tell mom and dad, did you?
You didn't, right?
How is that important?
They should know what's going on.
No, Junhui. You can never tell them.
Yeonhui.
He's just a bit confused right now.
But he'll be back.
So don't worry. Just trust me on this.
If mom and dad find out, he won't be able
to come back even if he wants to,
so please wait.
Mom, do you know...
Do you know what this money is in place of?
In place of my child, who they took from me.
This means they won't give him back to me.
I have to get my child back.
This is awful.
What am I supposed to do?
She gave birth to him, but he's still their blood.
Why is she trying to get him back?
Mom!
Hey, Sora.
And your lovely brother's here, too!
Shik, I'm glad you're home.
I need to talk to you about something.
Just a second.
Hello?
Yes. Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible.
Okay.
Chuja, I have to run.
I'm sorry. Let's talk later.
Wait.
Sora, do you have any perfume?
I stink from being in the kitchen all day.
I thought you said bad breath was the worst.
So I have mouthwash, but no perfume.
Are you going out to meet a woman?
Yeah, are you?
I admit it.
You admit it?
I'll be back.
Did you call for me?
Yes, sit down. I have to ask you something.
Was it true? What you said earlier?
Yes, it was the truth.
Let me ask you this.
Did you think that if you said that to me,
I'd say yes?
How could you think I'd date you?
Why not? Since I'm what you'd call a loser?
I'm too inadequate and short and old,
so my love offends you?
How dare a measly chef
love an elite woman, a restaurant owner?
I'm out of my league?
I never said that.
That's what you meant.
Right, that's it.
At least you're honest.
Let me ask you this.
You're walking down the street
and see a designer bag and fall in love with it.
You can't get it out of your head,
and it makes your heart ache
just thinking about it. Would you just think,
"I can't afford it," and give up?
Well, that's...
No! You figure out how much you have,
if you can have it, if you can get a loan.
The least you could do is try.
I don't know about you, but that's how I am.
When I failed the bar exam,
I still felt that I tried hard.
Regardless of the results,
I'm happy with the fact that I tried.
Whether I'm a loser or a beggar,
whether I'm way out of my league or not,
I want to try and win over the woman I love.
No one has the right to judge me for that.
But I don't want my efforts and my love
to be treated as unworthy.
I'm sorry I mistook you for a precious thing.
I should get going.
Please sit down.
I've said all I had to say.
Stay seated.
I'm leaving. This is humiliating.
For the first time in years, I've dressed up
and put on perfume to have wine with a man.
And you're just going to leave?
This is humiliating for me!
You said I was valuable.
You said I'm worth the effort!
Geez...
Here we go.
Oh, dear. Oh, my!
You're light as a feather.
Jeong Jinsuk is mine from this point onward!
Put me down!
Oh, no! Whatever...
I can't live without you.
How could I go live abroad?
I can't live without you, either.
I want to leave you,
but I can't.
Ms. Lee!
How are you, Jinwu?
Long time no see, Yeonhui.
Get out of my house now!
Mother, are you alright?
Get yourself together!
How long...
How long must I endure this?
I won't hurt you.
I promise.
I gave it to her so she'd leave.
She's just the surrogate.
$100,000 isn't enough? Is that why?
Then give me a million, like I asked.
