Episode 38
Why did you call?
What do you want to hear?
What is going on?
This scarf... Why do you have it?
You still don't know, Yeonhui?
Don't I remind you of someone?
Don't I look like someone you know?
Lee Donghyeon.
You haven't forgotten him, have you?
That's right.
I'm Donghyeon's sister, Lee Hwayeong.
12 years ago,
Lee Donghyeon was killed with
no justifiable reason because of you.
Because of your father Baek Cheol,
Lee Donghyeon died an undeserved death.
Donghyeon was my brother.
How could this be...
Isn't it funny how things work out?
The world seems so big, yet so small.
I had no idea we'd meet again.
Hwayeong.
You...
You're the cruelest person I've ever known.
You seduced my brother, a med student,
got pregnant, and made him leave home.
As if it wasn't enough to ruin him like that,
you went further and got him killed.
Then you turned around as if
nothing happened and forgot him completely.
And you got married to Byeongguk.
No, no.
That's not it.
How could I ever forget Donghyeon? How?
Don't you dare say his name!
You have no right to even say his name.
You destroyed his life
and left my whole family in ruins.
Donghyeon?
I won't forgive you.
I can't.
Not your father or your whole family.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'll apologize with all my heart.
I'll regret it as long as I live.
But please don't take it out on my parents,
or my family. They did nothing wrong.
This is all my fault.
You want to play the sweet sacrificial lamb?
No one was there.
From his hospitalization to his funeral,
not one person from your family came.
No one came to apologize or ask forgiveness.
You could've called, at least.
Even if we were poor and had nothing,
that was a terrible way to treat us.
You should've said you were sorry!
But none of you called.
You didn't even answer your phone.
We felt like we were in hell.
It was hell for us.
But what would you and your family know?
None of you know the pain of losing someone.
You wouldn't know
the utter despair of it.
Just you wait.
How it feels to lose the one you love most...
I'll let you feel the torment I felt then.
So you'd better be prepared,
Baek Yeonhui.
Donghyeon.
I'm so sorry. I did wrong by you.
But I'm going to forget you.
I must let the past go.
Even if you hate me,
there's nothing I can do.
Jinwu is what's most important to me now.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Hey. Hey!
What's wrong with her? Is she alright?
- Excuse me! / - Hello?
What's going on? Wake up.
We're by the Han Riverbank...
Oh, it's Yeonhui.
Hello, Yeonhui...
Is this Baek Yeonhui's mother?
Pardon?
Why, yes.
Why isn't mom coming home, grandma?
I was thinking the same thing.
She'll come soon.
You should go to bed, Jinwu.
Take him upstairs and put him to bed.
Yes, ma'am.
I want to sleep with my mom.
Jinwu, now there's a good boy.
You have to listen so your mom comes home.
If you don't listen, she'll come home even later.
That's a good boy.
Come on, Jinwu. I'll read you a storybook.
Where did she go that she's not back yet?
This is ruining our family.
I'm so upset, I don't know what to say.
Huija.
Since it's come to this,
let's just tell Yeonhui the truth.
It's not like we committed a crime.
By the way, Jinsuk.
What was that scarf earlier?
Why would she throw it at her like that?
Why would...
Something was really strange.
Yes?
The hospital?
Mom
Yeonhui.
Wait. Where did she go?
Call her, honey. Try her cell phone.
Honey...
Where would she go without her phone?
Maybe she went to get some tests.
She's a bit anemic, and the shock
made her blood pressure drop, so she fainted.
She needs some rest.
Sir.
What are you doing here?
The people who called the ambulance
must've called several others from her phone.
How is Ms. Baek Yeonhui?
She needs an IV and some further treatment.
She's very weak right now.
Do you know where she might have gone?
She's not in her room?
No, she's not.
She left her phone. Where could she be?
I'm sorry, father.
I don't know what to say.
You jerk.
You said you loved her.
You came to see her every day,
saying you couldn't live a day without her!
How can you take my precious daughter
and then break her heart like this?
How dare you do such a thing?
I'm sorry I made you worry, sir.
Where did she go?
Why are you asking us that?
If anything happens to Yeonhui...
You'd better find her.
Find my daughter.
Mother. Mother.
Oh, Ms. Baek.
Honey, stand up.
I'm sorry, mother.
What's going on? What happened?
This is your fault, too.
You told me not to worry.
You said you'd take care of this.
But you let things come to this?
Imagine how hurt she must have been
to run off to the river and faint there!
Where's Yeonhui?
Well...
If something happens to Yeonhui,
I will never forgive Byeongguk.
Do you understand?
Honey, we have to find Yeonhui, quick!
Don't worry too much, ma'am.
I'm sure she's fine.
Yeonhui, Yeonhui...
I really had no idea...
What your family went through...
Lee Donghyeon 1981 - 2003
I really had no idea.
Your sister is right.
I'm so selfish.
I've done so much wrong in my life.
Donghyeon, I'm so sorry.
Donghyeon...
Why'd you come here?
What if you faint again?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you say
she was Donghyeon's sister?
You knew from the start, didn't you?
If you had told me, then...
How could I? I knew it'd be so hard on you.
It would've been better that way!
Then I could've begged for her forgiveness!
Donghyeon.
Donghyeon, I'm so sorry.
I couldn't even protect our child.
And I let you die like that...
It's all my fault. I'm so sorry.
But still, I need Jinwu.
Without him,
I won't be able to hold on.
I'll have no reason to live.
So please stop Hwayeong, Donghyeon.
Please.
Yeonhui! Where's Yeonhui?
Yeonhui!
Shh! She just fell asleep.
She doesn't need to go to the hospital?
I offered, but she was so against it.
I knew she needed rest, so I brought her here.
My poor Yeonhui...
She'll be alright. Don't cry.
Junhui's right. At this rate, you'll get sick, too.
Junhui, get your mother out of here.
Come on, mom.
Where's Yeonhui?
I sent her to her parents' house to rest.
Why did she faint, anyway? And why outside?
Why are you here instead of sleeping?
Everyone was at the hospital. Could I sleep?
I was worried.
I'm sorry, mother.
Aunt Jinsuk.
I had no idea Hwayeong would do that.
I told her never to do that again.
What good will that do?
Get ready to be served divorce papers,
lose your child, and pay alimony.
Now that it's come to this,
Yeonhui's parents are not likely to let it go.
What will we do now?
So everyone in their family knows now?
Oh my God!
I guess I'll be fired from their company soon.
You're thinking of yourself at a time like this?
Michael
It's him, isn't it?
The man "your friend" supposedly likes.
Hey.
Were you asleep?
Not at all.
Hwayeong showed up
and turned the house upside down.
And then Yeonhui fainted and disappeared.
It's been a real mess up till now.
What? Hwayeong went over there?
Well...
Yes!
Hwayeong came over out of the blue,
and Huija nearly fainted from shock.
Then Yeonhui went out to talk to her.
And Yeonhui fainted and was hospitalized.
How could that be?
Why would Hwayeong do that?
Is everyone okay now?
For now.
Please stop her.
I'd like to give Hwayeong a piece of my mind.
But you know why I can't, right?
I really don't know what to say.
Let's hang up for now. We'll talk tomorrow.
You seriously...
What? Why are you glaring at me?
What are you trying to do?
President Gwak's in shock, and Mr. Jeong's wife
was hospitalized because of you.
Why do you keep causing trouble?
Mr. Jeong's wife?
You mean Donghyeon's ex?
I mean, the woman who killed your cousin,
Baek Yeonhui?
Hwayeong!
What about her?
Did she put on a fainting act this time?
What are you talking about?
Tell me so I can understand.
She made a scene at the Jeongs' house.
What?
Why would you even go there?
Whatever for?
My son got hurt because of Sora.
I went to see if he was alright. Why?
He's not your son! He isn't yours!
Mom.
So you also decided to tell Baek Yeonhui that
you're the surrogate and Donghyeon's sister?
Are you happy now?
What?
You said all that?
You've gone insane!
Stop it!
Please, everyone. Stop.
Mom, your son, Donghyeon...
Uncle, your nephew, Donghyeon, is dead!
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten how
he ended up that way?
Hwayeong, it's not about that...
Well, that woman's forgotten.
She's so busy being happy that
she's unaware of other people's suffering.
So I thought I should let her know
what a heinous sin she committed.
I need to make sure she doesn't forget it.
Oh, geez.
Who did you hear that from?
Did Gonghui tell you that?
Huh?
Oh, well...
Maybe it's better off that way.
Now that everyone knows who Hwayeong is,
maybe President Jeong won't see her anymore.
Now that it's all out in the open,
they can end it. That'd be better.
What about me? What am I supposed to do?
What do you mean?
Oh, geez!
Donghyeon. Donghyeon...
Donghyeon...
Don't leave.
Don't leave, Donghyeon.
Don't leave.
Yeonhui. What's wrong?
Did you have a bad dream?
What were you dreaming about?
Mom.
Yes, I'm right here.
You're drenched in cold sweat.
Are you alright?
Come on, Yeonhui.
Let's get up and go to the hospital.
You should stay there.
Eat this. Here.
What are you going to do? Just look at her.
You're not going to let it slide again, are you?
I'll make sure they get a divorce.
Actually, I talked to the lawyer today.
I'll meet him once she's hospitalized.
What about Jinwu?
The Jeongs won't give him up so easily.
If they don't, we'll sue for custody.
They're senseless, and they can't raise him.
Get some more rest. Why are you out here?
Dad, I'm going home.
Yeonhui.
You're not well. You can't go there.
You need to get better first.
I'm worried about Jinwu.
I can rest at home.
We'll bring Jinwu here.
Don't ever set foot in that house again.
I won't let you.
I told you. I'm not divorcing him.
How can you say that after what happened?
Will you live with
the shell of a man who's cheated on you?
I told you, mom.
I won't raise Jinwu without a father.
There's only so much you can take.
And Byeongguk's taken it way past that.
You married me off against my will,
and now you want me to get a divorce?
I wouldn't marry if I were getting divorced.
Or I'd have done it before I had Jinwu.
I'll figure this out.
So please don't say any more about this.
What will you do now, Yeonhui?
I don't resent dad, mom.
But I'm going to live the way I want.
HS Group Current Stock Status
It's me.
You purchased quite a lot of stock.
If you keep this up, it won't take long.
Okay. I'll call you again soon.
- Mom. / - Jinwu.
How have you been, sweetie?
You're here. How are you feeling?
I'm a bit better now.
I said you could stay there longer.
You didn't go to kindergarten, huh?
Don't even ask.
He cried all afternoon,
saying he wouldn't go unless you came home.
Come talk to me for a moment.
Ma'am, make Jinwu a snack.
Sorry I didn't tell you Grace was the surrogate.
I don't know how to begin to explain.
But Yeonhui, the reason I didn't tell you...
Mother, no need to explain. I already know.
I know you had no choice.
But I'm scared.
I'm afraid Hwayeong might
take our Jinwu from us.
Not a chance.
Why would you think such foolish things?
That would never happen.
You're his mother, no matter what.
You gave him life. Don't forget that.
Guess who I am.
I don't know. Achoo!
Oh, you don't look so well.
It's a present for you, mommy.
I drew it so you'd get well soon.
Mommy, get well soon! I love you!
Mommy, don't cry.
I won't, Jinwu. Thank you.
Oh, my darling Jinwu.
Okay.
I'll be home early today.
And just in case,
make sure she doesn't leave home.
Okay.
Yeonhui's dad
Yes, father?
If it were up to me, I'd grab you
by the collar and shake some sense into you.
But that won't undo what happened.
I don't know what to say, sir.
Tell me.
Are you going to divorce Yeonhui?
No, sir. How could I ever leave her?
I won't allow her
to stay in a loveless marriage,
a marriage filled with guilt and obligation.
I won't let my daughter
live a life that's fake and just for show.
I feel such shame for having
to say this to you.
I really love Yeonhui, sir.
But for some time now,
she's been very distant,
focused on Jinwu and the cafe.
And because of that,
I felt a longing for someone to love me back.
And that's why I was tempted briefly.
I'm really disappointed in you.
Yeonhui has told me
she can't raise Jinwu without a father,
so she won't get a divorce.
But I think differently.
Jinwu wouldn't be happy
with parents who are only together for show.
Get it together and go back to your family.
Or get a divorce.
I'll give you four days. Make your decision.
However,
if you decide to divorce Yeonhui,
know that you'll have to let Jinwu go, too.
And you know better than to ask
why I say that.
If you decide to divorce Yeonhui,
call this person.
He's a lawyer we've known for a long time.
You may go now.
As you know,
I lived in New York for five years.
So I know the style New Yorkers go for.
I know how the fashion trends change.
I know it through and through.
And Junhui, I mean, Ms. Baek,
will not listen because she's upset about
what my brother did and takes it out on me.
So what you're saying is,
design type B is better than design type A?
Yes, sir.
I agree with her.
Then I'll talk to Ms. Baek about it.
Byeongguk.
Don't get too close with him.
Why not?
Just do as you're told.
That's your brother?
Yeah. Why?
You seem so cold to each other.
You're siblings.
If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
Hwayeong.
I know you're my one and only niece,
but I'm your one and only uncle, too.
So if you keep doing this,
what will I do with Jinsuk?
She's the only woman in my life.
Jeong Jinsuk, my boss...
Michael.
What are you thinking about?
My head just hurts.
Ms. Jeong wants to speak with you.
I...
Stop.
The venture capital information session is
coming up soon. I have no time for you.
Venture capital information session?
Have the session participants been confirmed?
Yes, they have.
I'm a bit nervous that it's being held here,
so double-check everything
so that there are no mistakes.
In particular,
if Chef Bae could pay special attention...
Yes, ma'am.
Well, that's all. You may go, Ms. Lee.
I have to talk to Chef Bae about...
Yes, Ms. Jeong.
It's break time,
so I'm sure you two want some alone time.
I'll be sure to lock the door,
since I'm sharp like that.
Ms. Lee, you don't have to lock the door.
Ms. Lee.
- About yesterday... / - About yesterday...
You go ahead.
Yesterday...
Did Hwayeong say anything else?
Such as?
I told you.
She met separately with Yeonhui.
Who knows what they talked about?
You haven't heard anything?
I think Hwayeong must've said
something really shocking,
and that's why Yeonhui fainted.
What will we do?
Why are you in here while I'm gone?
Why am I in here? That's some greeting.
I'm your business partner, after all.
Stop it.
I'm not in the mood to talk to you.
You're making me feel bad.
I brought chocolate to cheer you up.
Here. It's for you.
Comforting me after you caused trouble?
If it'll do the trick, sure.
Listen.
I'll never get a divorce.
So don't do anything to stab me in the back.
If you pull something like that again,
I'll cut all ties with you. Got it?
Cut all ties?
Now that the contract has been signed,
you'll write me off just like that?
Try to act professional.
Just because the contract is signed
doesn't mean the deal is set in stone.
If the CEO's private issues interfere with work,
and he doesn't do his job right,
that's good reason to nullify the contract.
You know that, don't you?
