What's wrong? What do you want to tell me?
Tell me.
Did you...
Sorry. I just remembered I had to do something.
You should get back to work.
- Professor. / - It hasn't started yet, right?
Why are you here so late?
The informational session just ended.
What do you mean?
It's still 20 minutes till 4:00.
Suk, what happened?
You said they changed the time to 4:00.
Oh, sorry.
I was afraid there wouldn't be enough seats.
It's not like you're going to open up a store.
I rescheduled my lecture to make it on time.
Jeong Jinsuk!
How can you do this to me? How can you...
Why are you getting mad at me?
Were you really interested in opening a store?
Yes! If I want to get married,
I should get ready for it.
This is why no one takes me seriously.
Do you know that?
You know why no one takes you seriously?
You don't focus on academics,
and squander time on things like this!
Hey, how can you tell me...
So focus on being a professor, will you?
Professor! Where are you going?
You should stay for some coffee...
Oh, my!
Why didn't you knock?
If it's not urgent, let's talk later.
I said let's talk later.
Oh, geez. Come in. Come...
Ms. Lee, didn't you hear me?
If it's not urgent, let's talk...
I heard you. You said to come back later.
But I have to tell you right now.
So what is it?
You were being really harsh to
Professor Oh just now.
He's been your friend for over 30 years.
That's no way to treat an old friend.
Ms. Lee, I just meant...
Apologize to him.
That was the important thing
I wanted to tell you today.
Was I too hard on him?
Hooray!
I really wanted this!
Aram said she has this one, too.
I knew you wanted it.
That's why I got it for you.
Read to me. Quick!
Okay. Let's turn it on.
Thanks to the hen,
Jack and his mom became rich.
Though his mom was happy, she was worried.
The giant's treasures were all stolen goods.
"I'll return the treasure to the people,"
said Jack.
Then he climbed up the beanstalk
and went back to the giant's castle.
Look at this picture.
Have you forgotten?
I brought Jinwu into this world.
So isn't it natural for me to want to see him?
I want to see him without this hassle.
I'll be back tomorrow at this time.
I'm sure I can see Jinwu then, right?
Dad!
What are you reading, Jinwu?
Mom got me this e-book.
It's like a library of books!
Do you want to see it, dad?
Oh, yeah?
I do, but I have to change first. I'll be back.
Come back quick!
Okay.
Read this while you wait.
You must be really tired.
You don't look well.
What's wrong? You're making me nervous.
You're acting strange today.
It's nothing. I'm just tired.
Then go wash up.
It'll help relax you.
Yeah, Hwayeong was talking nonsense.
She didn't want to split up,
so she said it in spite.
She's totally capable of such a thing.
- Sora! / - Sora!
Why are you coming home together?
We met out front.
- What's all this? / - Hwayeong bought it.
Hwayeong? She's home?
Yeah.
Wow! Pig trotters!
Mom. Uncle Chansik.
Let's have some soju. It's been a while.
Well, this is unexpected.
I bet pigs are flying somewhere yonder!
Great! Pour me a shot.
Let's drink. It's been too long.
Shik, let me pour you a shot, too.
What's the occasion?
Here, I'll pour you a shot.
Have some.
Here.
- Cheers. / - Cheers.
No, no...
Donghyeon.
Donghyeon...
Donghyeon?
Let's go to bed. It's past midnight.
Shik!
What kind of man calls it quits already?
You're a big guy. Can't you keep up with us?
Mom.
Yeah?
I'm just a surrogate mother, right?
What?
I'm just a surrogate.
No matter how much I insist I'm Grace Lee,
Lasar's assistant manager,
I'm still just a surrogate who sold her body
for a mere $200,000.
That's all I am.
Hwayeong, you're drunk.
Let's go to bed.
Do you think Jinwu
only considers me the surrogate, too?
I carried him for nine months and gave birth,
yet I'll never live to see a day he calls me mom.
Forget all that.
I told you.
Just forget it. He's not your kid.
Let's all forget everything
and live happily, just us.
I've forgotten everything already.
I've forgotten everything.
Yeah, Hwayeong. As long as you ended things,
forget everything and move back to the States.
Start fresh with that guy from the States.
As long as I've ended things?
You didn't end things with President Jeong?
No. This is just the beginning.
If I were going to end it so easily,
I wouldn't have sold my body for just $200,000.
I wouldn't have given birth to a child
who'd call Yeonhui "mom."
Hwayeong.
This is a celebratory drink
to the bloodbath that'll come soon.
Don't talk like that. How creepy.
Thank you for coming. I know you're busy.
Have a seat.
This is certainly out of the blue.
What did you want to talk to me about?
I had a question to ask you.
Go ahead.
You've been friends
with Yeonhui since college,
so you've known her for over 10 years.
And so,
since you've known her longer than I have,
you must know things about her that I don't.
I'll get straight to the point.
Was she...
Was Baek Yeonhui
seeing someone before she met me?
What?
I heard something very strange yesterday.
It had to do with my wife's past.
What did you hear? From whom?
That's none of your concern.
I heard she was living with a guy
and was even pregnant with his child.
And it wasn't you, obviously.
But I feel as though
you might know all about this.
President Jeong.
Are you going to divorce Yeonhui?
Are you trying to gather evidence against her?
Is that why you're asking me such things?
I don't know who told you that,
but I've never heard of it.
Sorry to have bothered you then.
Let's pretend this never happened.
Love and trust are proportional.
There's nothing more fatal
to love than distrust.
The summer menu is very popular.
Tell me about the strategy of the new branch
and the annual report of each store.
Yes.
Yeongeun.
Did your boss say when she'd be in today?
No.
Where's Jinwu?
Why would I bring him here?
You promised me you'd bring him.
I never promised you that.
So this is how you're going to act?
Don't even dream of seeing my son again.
There's no reason for you to.
This is my wife's
photo and resident registration number.
Find out about her past,
about 10 years ago in particular.
Do it as soon as possible.
Yes, sir. And the advance payment...
It's in the envelope.
Then I'll call you soon.
Jeong Byeongguk,
do you really have to do this?
It's fine. There's no crime in just looking.
Excuse me.
Yes?
You dropped this.
Thank you.
May I speak with you a moment?
I feel I might be of some assistance.
Oh, dear. Drink this.
Where's Byeongguk?
Did he tell you he met with your dad?
Yeah.
He said he'd end the affair,
that he's sorry and he's getting it together.
Really?
What if he changes his mind again?
I don't think he will.
Well, that's good.
So why do you always look so down?
Tell me. What's going on?
The woman Byeongguk's seeing
isn't pregnant, is she?
No, mom. It's nothing like that.
Mom.
Donghyeon was in my dream last night.
Don't say such things out loud.
Why would he appear in your dream?
It's been tough for you as it is, so why would
he appear to you and add to your troubles?
Your dad said to never say his name again.
But I didn't really dislike him.
Sure, he didn't come from a good family,
but he was a good man and very smart.
And he loved you so much!
So why would he return and
torment you in your dreams?
Probably because he wasn't able to forgive me.
How could he go in peace like that?
In a certain light,
he died because of me.
Don't say that!
He didn't die because of you.
You didn't do anything wrong. Not anything.
If anyone did anything wrong,
it's your father and I who did wrong.
It's all in the past, so forget it.
Mom, why is my life such a mess?
This is karma, I think.
It's not like that.
Don't think that way.
Congratulations, President Baek.
I saw your stock prices have gone up a lot.
Congratulate me next time when
I've finished the deal with the US company.
Let's make a real toast then.
You're so modest. I'm sure it'll go well.
Excuse me.
I'll trust the information you've given me
and deliver it to President Jeong.
Oh, did the issues you were worried about
end up solved?
Is your daughter getting a divorce?
Kids these days don't listen to their parents.
And they have a kid together,
so I don't know if divorce is the best option.
That aside,
don't you want to get married?
I don't know.
More than getting married,
I'd really like to have a baby.
These days, lots of people get married
after they conceive their children.
That's not a bad idea.
- Here. / - Okay.
Geez, you're really caking it on.
That's quite enough makeup.
I'm really stressed out these days.
Ms. Jeong and Ms. Baek are both tall and thin,
and they're so beautiful.
I feel like an ugly duckling compared to them,
which is totally depressing.
That's alright, Sojin.
You have me by your side.
No thanks. You're not my style.
Yunggi.
Have you prepared the final collection designs?
No, not yet.
What? We don't have much time.
Sojin.
Are the final collection designs ready?
Not yet.
What? We don't have much time.
Yeonhui, can I see you for a moment?
I'm at the playground by your house.
It's sort of urgent.
Hey, it's me. What's up?
I can't say it over the phone.
I should tell you in person.
I can't go out right now.
I think you need to hear this, though.
Okay, but give me some time.
Yes. Alright.
Where did you go in the middle of dinner?
Oh, my friend had called.
Jinwu, want to take a walk
with me after dinner?
Sure. Then you have
to buy me ice cream, okay?
Okay.
Oh. Jinwu, you came, too!
Hello.
Hi.
Seongbin, what's going on?
Well, you see...
I met with your husband this morning.
What? What for?
He asked me whether you
were seeing someone before meeting him.
And...
Well, I just told him I didn't know anything.
But I think he heard something from someone.
Jinwu.
Dad!
Oh, my darling Jinwu.
Where did you go?
We went for a walk and met with uncle
and had some ice cream.
- Uncle? / - Yeah.
Seongbin stopped by and wanted to see me.
I'm going to go change.
What did Seongbin say?
Nothing much. He was just in the area.
He was just in the area
and wanted to see you?
You've got some nerve.
You're so nonchalant even after that mess
over the pictures of you and him.
Honey.
Forget it.
I won't accuse you of anything anymore.
Not unless I see it with my own eyes.
He asked me whether you
were seeing someone before meeting him.
Here's the information you asked for.
School transcripts
Health records
Record of treatment
Seoul Sanggil-ro 24-gil 31
What do you think?
Is this enough?
Did you really....
Did you really find all this in just one day?
Are you not satisfied with the results?
No, thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Record of treatment Pregnancy - 3-month examination
Was she...
Really pregnant before?
Emergency Contact Lee Donghyeon
No, this can't be.
Someone falsified these documents.
I'm sure of it.
There's just no way.
Donghyeon, when are you getting off work?
I miss you.
Honey, I think our baby's a World Cup baby.
He's so eager to play soccer with his daddy
that he's been kicking me like crazy.
Get home safely.
I love you.
Hello.
Are you the owner of this house?
Yes, I am.
Then...
Do you remember if they used to live here?
Please look carefully.
They may have lived here about 12 years ago.
12 years ago?
That's ages. Too many have come and gone.
Wait, it's the pregnant young lady.
Pregnant young lady?
Really?
Are you sure it's her?
Sure.
Her husband had a motorcycle.
He was a deliveryman of sorts.
The wife would set the dinner table and
wait for her husband by this door every night.
Her husband?
Do you know if his name was
Lee Donghyeon?
Come on! I can't remember his name.
I do remember how her father came
and dragged her out of the house by force.
And her husband died while he was chasing
after them on his motorcycle.
He died?
She was headed to the hospital to give birth,
and that happened to her husband...
I wonder if she gave birth to the kid alright.
The kid?
She seduced a man,
ran off with him, lived with him,
and even had his child.
Would you still think of her as a saint?
That she had uterine cancer and a hysterectomy
and can no longer bear children.
You poor man.
She had another man's baby just fine.
But to have yours, she used a surrogate
and went through all this trouble.
He looks so much like you.
I never thought
we'd ever get to have such a beautiful baby.
Hello, sir.
Where is my mother?
She went out with Jinwu.
Where's Jinwu?
His grandmother took him out.
Oh, I see.
Wait.
Your husband's home.
Okay.
You're home early, honey.
What's wrong? What...
You're the first woman
I have ever loved in my life.
You were unlike any other woman.
You were nice and pure and innocent.
Honey.
Baek Yeonhui.
Baek Yeonhui...
What is going on in that head of yours?
I'm so curious.
Who are you, anyway?
Baek Yeonhui, who are you?
What are you doing, honey?
Lee Donghyeon!
Who is Lee Donghyeon?
Why can't you tell me?
I asked you who Lee Donghyeon was!
Please don't do this.
Of course you wouldn't be able to tell me.
He was a man you loved very dearly.
No, honey. It's not like that anymore.
You and Jinwu are everything to me.
I'm everything to you?
You couldn't have my child,
but I'm everything?
Honey...
You couldn't have my child,
but you had his, didn't you?
You had Lee Donghyeon's child!
Donghyeon, when are you getting off work?
I miss you.
Honey, I think our baby's a World Cup baby.
He's so eager to play soccer with his daddy
that he's been kicking me like crazy.
Get home safely. I love you.
What?
Is it all coming back to you now?
Do you remember his face clearly now?
I'm sorry, honey.
But this is all in the past.
You knew about this.
I did? I knew about this?
No, maybe your body knew about this.
You fooled everyone,
but your body still knows.
How you can't have a child anymore!
That's proof. Your body is proof of your past!
Honey, how could you say that?
How could I? No, how could you?
You put on an innocent face and married me?
You had another man's child!
That's why you couldn't get pregnant!
That's why you couldn't have my child!
You hid all of that
and then married me! How could you?
She lived with a man before marrying me.
How could you?
How dare you bring your filthy self
into our house and marry my son?
How dare you?
So you found everything out?
Baek Yeonhui
doesn't deserve to raise our Jinwu.
The letter you sent?
The one you sent when I proposed to you?
Don't pretend you don't know.
It sickens me.
How could this be...
I hate everyone. Everyone.
Mom and dad and everyone!
