What are you doing? It's lunch time!
Let's go!
But...
Ms. Baek, you should come with us.
I'm all right.
You guys go ahead.
Come on.
Why are you so down?
I'm going to visit your mother.
Would you like to join me?
- Where's my dad? / - In his office.
Dad.
Why'd you come here?
Have someone else do this.
Hurry up and let's go.
Let's go visit mom.
I'm sorry,
but I...
I don't deserve to see your mom right now.
What do you mean?
Mom's waiting for you.
Junhui.
Today, I really...
Stop.
I don't need to hear you say anything.
Just be your old self.
Confident and relaxed.
That's who you are.
About your mother-in-law...
She suffered a brain aneurysm.
This is Jeong Byeongguk.
I'd like to know which hospital
my mother-in-law is at right now.
Come in.
I was worried about your mother.
Why are you here?
What do you mean? Of course I should...
What do you care?
You said we were strangers now.
She's no longer your mother-in-law.
Don't do this.
I came all this way.
What do you want from me?
Should I hold you in my arms
and shed tears of gratitude?
Now that my parents are in crisis
you're feigning sympathy?
I'm sorry I couldn't help your father.
That wasn't my intention.
Use this for now.
Take it back. I don't need it.
You said you'd help my father
and you made me sign those papers,
just for this?
Is this all you amount to?
Get out. Get out this instant!
I'm going.
Byeongguk.
Let me see Jinwu.
Don't worry. He's doing fine.
I'm his mother.
Your mother may have kicked me out,
but Jinwu is my child.
He belongs with me.
I can't go and take him,
so I need you to bring him here.
Let him see his grandma one last time.
Mother won't allow it.
Honey.
Weren't you the one
who just called us strangers?
Just bring Jinwu once.
I'll think about it.
Please. I beg you.
Let me see my son.
Mom.
Your precious grandson, Jinwu,
is coming to see you.
So wake up.
Open your eyes.
Mom.
Dad.
Is her condition the same?
Yes.
I'll stay here,
so join your father for lunch.
I'm not hungry.
You guys go ahead.
No, dad. Join us. I was waiting for you.
Hello?
What? Right now?
You can't do this so suddenly.
What's wrong, dad?
I have to go home. You stay here.
We gave you prior warning.
The creditors are hounding us.
It's been tough for us too.
Sign this, pack up your things
and leave by the end of the day.
I've been at the office and the hospital.
I haven't been able to find a new house.
If you could give me a few more days...
Look here, sir.
I thought I already told you.
We're under pressure too.
Here.
Wait! No! You can't take this.
Ma'am, stop.
You're breaking the law.
Don't you see these red tags?
I know, I know.
But please give me back the wedding ring.
It's my mother's cherished wedding ring.
She's in a coma at the hospital.
So please, just let me have the ring.
I'm very sorry to hear that, but...
Then here!
Take this. It's very valuable.
So please, give me back my mother's ring.
Please, sir.
- Let's hurry it up. / - Yes, sir.
Seongbin.
You paid my mother's hospital expenses?
Yeah.
You're insane. It must've cost a fortune.
It was an emergency.
Thanks.
But I'm going to pay you back.
I'm paying you back, got it?
All right then.
Yeonhui.
Seongbin paid mom's hospital bills.
He doesn't even make that much.
Did he borrow money from his folks?
Junhui...
Do you have any friends with a spare room?
Can you crash there?
By when?
By today.
President Baek.
What time is it?
Is it time to go?
This place was a little big for my family.
I know it's not much,
but stay at my apartment for now.
I'll look into listings tomorrow...
Seongbin.
You don't need to try so hard.
I get it.
Sir.
Please bring him to the hospital.
Let him see his grandma one last time.
Grace Lee
The recipient is unavailable...
Hwayeong, are you sleeping?
Oh...
I'd like to talk to you.
Well...
About Baek Yeonhui's mother...
Do you know which hospital she's at?
You know, don't you?
Why?
Why else?
You're not going to like the idea,
but I think I should see her.
Mom, are you crazy?
Don't do it.
If I don't do it,
we'd be just the same as they are.
Don't you get it?
You don't think I hate them?
I gave her so much respect.
I treated her like a queen.
And it makes me feel sick, but...
She left the hospital.
What?
Is she all better then?
She came to?
That's a relief.
And I'm moving out tomorrow.
Where to?
I'm moving in with President Jeong.
What?
Did President Jeong get a divorce?
Is it over now?
Not exactly, but...
Jinwu needs a mother figure, so...
What? No way.
Where's your conscience?
How could you...
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
Hwayeong.
I'm going to bed.
What's she trying to do?
How do I stop her?
Giseop.
It's summer break.
Aren't you going to see your kids?
Why stay here?
You're not going to the U.S.?
What's the point?
I wouldn't be welcome.
Why not? You have your kids.
Well...
Professor Oh.
What's wrong with you?
Are you crying? Are you really crying?
No...
Just cry, professor.
Let it all out.
To be honest,
my ex-wife got married to an American.
And my kids call him "father" now.
Suk, I'm not a dad anymore.
I'm nothing now.
I'm just someone who sends them money.
That's what it means to be a man.
Well, look on the bright side.
I'm sorry about your kids,
but since your ex is remarried,
you don't have to pay as much alimony.
Huh? Really?
You stopped crying almost immediately.
Oh, geez.
Drink up. It's been a long day.
Let's go all the way tonight!
Okay, here, Miranda!
All the way!
That's great!
What are you doing here, Chef Bae?
What happened?
We had an office party tonight.
Chef Bae! It's time for the next round!
She's too old for this.
- Take her to her room. / - Okay.
This way.
Another round, I say!
Wait, Jinsuk...
Come on. Oh, dear.
Chef Bae, don't go. Don't go.
Don't go. Please don't go.
I'm dying. One more round.
Mother.
Yeonhui's mother suffered an aneurysm
and had to get surgery.
I heard.
I'm going to take Jinwu to the hospital.
Dad, is grandma Geumok sick?
Yeah, a little.
Did Yeonhui call?
No. I couldn't just ignore the situation,
so I stopped by.
You're pathetic.
Don't you have any pride?
You forgot about what she did.
You just ran right towards...
Stop, mother.
Jinwu can hear you.
Yeonhui's mother's condition may worsen,
so don't say anything you may regret.
Dad, what about mom?
If we go see grandma, will mom be there?
Of course.
- Really? / - Really.
So make sure you eat up.
- Okay! / - Okay then.
No matter how drunk you were,
how do you let someone who works for you
bring you home?
Aren't you embarrassed?
It's fine.
Top-level CEOs and VPs do it all the time.
It's not helpful to your image.
Pull yourself together.
Men can be gold diggers too.
That's a little harsh.
How are you still so immature?
What do I do?
If she finds out I'm dating Chef Bae,
she'll tear me to shreds!
A gold digger?
Unbelievable!
What's her problem?
What do I do?
President Baek No Longer CEO of HS Group
It must be mom, dad!
Mom?
It's the housekeeper.
She went to pick up the dry cleaning.
We met out front, so...
What do you think you're doing?
I was worried about Jinwu.
Jinwu! Come here.
Ms. Lee.
My darling Jinwu.
Do you know how much I missed you?
I'm going to be your mom now.
That's not true.
You're not my mom.
Yeah, not yet.
Were you waiting for your mom?
I see.
Do you miss your mom?
Shall we call your mom?
Yes!
No! Don't.
Mother.
We have to call for Jinwu's sake.
It can't be helped.
What are you doing? Don't do it.
Lee Hwayeong!
Hello?
Jinwu, it's mommy. Say mommy.
Mom?
Jinwu?
Is that really you?
Jinwu!
How are you, my darling?
Do you miss me?
I do miss you!
Jinwu, I'm really sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
Mommy, when are you coming back?
Mom...
I want to be with you.
Take me with you.
Mom, mom!
Mom, mom...
Jinwu, didn't I tell you?
Your mom's on a business trip.
So let's be patient. Okay?
Is that true, mom?
You're on a business trip?
When will you be back?
So Jinwu,
if you listen to your elders,
you mom will come back with lots of toys.
Really?
Mom, lots of toys?
Mom? Mom!
Yes dear.
So Jinwu,
don't cry and be good. Okay?
Promise me, okay?
Okay!
Did you have breakfast?
What'd you have? Was it yummy?
Are you going to school?
No! I want to talk to mommy!
- Don't hang up! / - Jinwu! Jinwu!
Jinwu!
Don't hang up! Jinwu!
Jinwu...
Yeonhui!
What's wrong? What happened?
How about this one?
Like this?
And you put it here.
Put it here?
And then what?
Did you invite her over?
No, that's not what...
Am I a joke to you?
How could you do that without asking me?
I can't stand her.
Tell her to leave right now!
This is absurd. How could she...
Mother.
I know that you hate me.
And I know it's too early for me to move in.
But if we think about Jinwu,
I'm certain that this is what's best.
Of course, I have a career as well,
so I can't be with Jinwu all day,
but isn't that better than having no one at all?
Plus, if I help Byeongguk with work,
I can double the size of his company.
Double?
I'm more talented than I appear.
Didn't you know, mother?
You and I have had our differences,
but please forgive me for my actions.
I'll do better from now on.
Stop it.
Oh.
This is a gift for you.
It's a sapphire I got from the States.
I had it customized.
I'm sure you'll like it.
Its color and shape are very pretty.
Jinsuk, take a look.
Yeah, you were right.
I moved out.
I'm going to live happily with Jinwu now.
So don't ask me to come back.
I really want to be happy now,
so pray for my happiness.
That brat.
I tried my best to stop her...
She'll always be the second wife.
She'll never find happiness there.
Ugh.
Why do you look so dazed?
That brat, Hwayeong...
She packed her things and left.
What?
Ugh.
Sorry. I'm not good with my hands.
That's not true. That looks great.
Thanks, Seongbin.
If I had time, I'd have found a better place.
Don't say that.
This place is good enough already.
We better finish before your dad gets here.
You've slept long enough.
It's time for you to wake up now.
Honey...
Was our old house tiresome to clean?
Don't worry about that anymore.
The place we're moving into
is the perfect size for our family.
And to save money,
Seongbin said he'd paint the walls himself.
So I told him to go ahead.
That boy...
I have nothing to offer him.
I don't know why he tries so hard.
Honey.
Our Junhui...
She's got great taste in men.
So honey...
You need to wake up.
You have to wake up.
Ms. Baek.
Would you like a ride home?
I just bought a used car.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I have to go to the hospital.
Do you need anything for your new house?
That's sweet, but we're good.
Here. Buy whatever you need.
Like a sofa or a refrigerator.
I don't need it.
How do you think your mother will react?
Hey!
Geez.
Why'd she bring up my mom?
I know it's not my place to say this,
but that was a little inconsiderate.
What?
Yeah, Jeong Yumi. What's your problem?
Are you jealous about Mr. Yu?
Was it to get back at Yeonhui?
- It's so pretty! / - Finished!
My daughter is the best!
Sweet girl. Give me a kiss.
But mom,
Hwayeong's not coming back anymore?
The house feels empty without her.
Do you miss her?
I don't know.
I just feel a bit worried about her.
I wonder if she's doing all right.
She was so mean to you everyday.
Isn't it nice that you get your own room now?
She wasn't mean everyday.
I liked using her makeup
and her perfume sometimes.
Oh, you.
Who could it be at this hour?
Is that you, Shik?
It's me, Chuja! Open up!
Ms. Lee!
How are you? It's so heavy.
Sora, will you get me a glass of ice water?
Yes, ma'am.
Hey. What is all that?
Can't you tell? It's my luggage.
I know. Why'd you bring it here?
Are you going on a trip?
You said Hwayeong moved out.
I came because I knew you'd be lonely.
I'll pay rent.
I don't care about rent. Get out.
Shik's been freeloading off of me for 20 years.
Don't do this to me.
Get out, please.
Leave before I get mad.
Oh, Chuja!
Chuja!
Have you ever been truly lonely?
What?
Imagine coming home
to a dark and empty house night after night.
That's the sad life of Ssangsun Lee.
I have no parents, no brothers or sisters.
I have no husband and no kids!
Rather than going home, I think about
- ending my life. / - Ending?
I think about dying all the time.
After I hang out with you and go home,
I feel frustrated, sad, lonely and depressed
and sometimes I'd rather just die.
Oh, my...
Bae Chuja!
I, Ssangsun Lee,
have but one friend in the entire world.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me, Chuja.
Okay! It worked!
The mother was walking in the dark woods,
until suddenly, a tiger appeared!
"Give me a rice cake and
I won't eat you! Roar!"
So the mother gave him a rice cake
and ran away as fast as she could.
Then another tiger appeared before her.
"Give me a rice cake and
I won't eat you! Roar!"
What are you doing?
Are you really letting Hwayeong stay?
I didn't let her stay. You saw what happened.
She forced her way in.
Then force her out.
You did it to Yeonhui.
Why can't you do it to her?
Byeongguk isn't even divorced yet.
This is just plain adultery.
It's a blatant act of adultery!
You're right,
but she helps Byeongguk with the company.
Is that what persuaded you?
The sapphire ring,
and her promise to double the company's size?
Huija, snap out of it.
Let's say she doubles the company's size.
Is it still yours? Byeongguk's?
No way! She'll take it all!
I don't know what she plans to do.
I just think that
Byeongguk and Jinwu
both need her right now.
Then why did you kick Yeonhui out?
What did she even do wrong?
Huija, please get it together.
Who is Lee Hwayeong?
She's the surrogate!
Yes. She was a surrogate.
She was my grandson's surrogate.
It's not like she gave birth to a stranger.
Huija.
Do you know why
Yeonhui fainted at the wedding?
Do you know why she couldn't get pregnant?
Simply put,
it was her punishment for sleeping around.
She was impregnated by her former lover.
I can't accept her as my daughter-in-law.
So from now on,
don't ever mention her in front of me.
Got it?
My darling Jinwu.
My son.
I'm your mommy.
Your real mom.
Jinwu, what's wrong?
I want to give it to my mom.
Mom!
Jinwu!
He lived inside me for 9 months
while our hearbeats were one.
He knows in his heart
that I am his mother.
Has Jinwu already forgotten me?
What if he forgets me
and starts calling Hwayeong his mom?
You need to leave.
Just let me see Jinwu for one moment.
I told you.
You're not his mother anymore.
As a mother, think carefully.
Fancy meeting you here.
Where is that baby?
The baby we had together.
