What are you going to do?
How long are you going
to let that tramp stay?
She's so proud of birthing Jinwu,
but all she does is make him cry.
Mother.
It's not wrong to scold a child for misbehaving.
That's not my only concern.
She's disagreeable and annoying.
Why should I let her stay at my house?
If you can't stand her,
I'll take Jinwu and leave.
What?
You'll move out with that tramp?
Why are you doing this?
Do you plan to marry her?
Not right away,
but eventually...
Eventually?
Don't be absurd. That low-born girl?
Not another word.
Pick one of these women.
Your wife will raise our family's legacy.
I won't let that low-born girl
become Jinwu's mother.
Mother, what are you trying to do?
You're single now.
Shouldn't you meet another girl?
I'm not divorced yet.
Plus, I have Hwayeong.
So what are you going to do?
Are you bringing Yeonhui back
or are you really going to marry Hwayeong?
You're not doing either.
It's my life, so please...
Please stay out of my affairs.
How can I?
You think she'd just be your wife?
She'd be Jinwu's mother.
My daughter-in-law.
Pathetic.
My little puppy.
What's this?
It's mommy's hairpin.
Jinwu, come to Grandma Jinsuk!
What did she say?
I don't feel like talking.
Jinwu was angry with me too.
Please don't be mad at me. It'll make me sad.
Why did you make Jinwu cry?
I didn't. He just cried on his own.
I was sad because of Jinwu,
but helping you with your tie feels great.
Do you know how long I dreamed of this?
My dream of being your wife?
You had the divorce papers signed.
When are you sending them in?
Be patient.
I haven't kept my promise to help
Yeonhui's father yet.
So? You're not going to divorce her?
I told you to be patient.
I'm going.
No way...
Is he getting cold feet?
Jinwu, let's go to school.
Let's not send him to school today.
I'll take him to the restaurant
and spend the day with him.
Why?
Because...
That way he can have good food...
...and...
Chansik said he wanted to see Jinwu.
My uncle?
Jinwu, go to the bathroom.
Always pee before you go someplace.
Okay.
Jinwu may not be your real son,
but you did give birth to him.
That's why Chansik wants to see him.
So I was going to spend some time with
Chansik and Jinwu.
Yeonhui, it's me.
I'm with Jinwu. When are you free?
Yeah? Then come to the restaurant.
I'm so nervous right now.
Hold on. I'll put Jinwu on.
Here. It's your mom.
Mom!
Jinwu!
Mom!
Did you have a hearty breakfast?
Yeah!
Do as Grandma Jinsuk says, okay?
I'll come meet you later.
But mom, Ms. Lee hit me.
What?
Ms. Lee pushed me!
Jinwu, why'd you tell her that?
Mom, I won't tell you.
Grandma Jinsuk says not to.
Oh, goodness.
Okay, Jinwu.
Let's talk when we meet.
Okay?
Okay, mom.
Mom, has Ms. Lee called?
No.
I feel bad for her.
Why would you feel bad for her?
Now that she's gone,
this house feels like a mansion.
I know, but you two were like sisters.
Don't you think, Sora?
Right!
Stop saying "right."
You say it for every idea you each bring up.
That's right.
It's annoying! Stop it.
So annoying.
Hey, Hwayeong.
What's up?
- It's Hwayeong? / - Hwayeong?
Uncle Chansik, answer me honestly.
Are you meeting Jinwu with Ms. Jeong today?
Jinwu?
Jinwu? Why?
Did something happen?
No?
I just woke up, so I forgot for a second,
but yeah, I'm supposed to meet Jinwu today.
So you made plans?
Okay, then. Bye.
Dad, I cooked these eggs.
How are they? Not bad, huh?
Really? Not bad at all!
My little girl can make this?
It's survival instinct.
Before, mom used to...
I miss mom's spicy beef stew.
Just one bowl for breakfast,
and I'd feel full all day.
Yeah. Your mom...
She was a great cook.
Dad, mom will wake up soon.
Yeah, she has to.
Yeonhui.
Have you heard from Byeongguk?
No.
What about Jinwu?
Actually, I'm supposed to meet him today.
Really?
Aunt Jinsuk's taking him to work today.
I'm going to take him to visit mom.
Good. She'll be really happy to see him.
Junhui, I'm running late.
Can you wash the dishes?
Sorry.
Dad, that woman's living
at Byeongguk's house.
What? What about Jinwu?
I don't know.
They'll probably raise him.
You think they'd let Yeonhui take him?
- The caller is unavailable... / - Where is she?
Why won't she pick up?
Did she think I'd be sad if she moved out?
Who is it?
I said, who is it?
So annoying! I said, who is it?
Who is it, Chuja?
It's you...
It's so heavy.
I was going to go someplace far,
but I came back home for your sake.
I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?
Fine! I'll just make some ramen.
Hey, you.
You can't just come and go whenever you like.
Do you know how much you stress me out?
Of course I know. That's why I came back.
I'm here to relieve your stress.
Right, Chansik?
What?
Oh, right.
And I have a gift for you.
What's this?
Clothespins.
You can wear one in your hair forever.
Get ready to leave.
We need to start working.
We'll get fancy uniforms and look stylish!
Right?
- Come on. / - Are you sure we're not late?
It all looks the same, I don't know where I am.
Where do we need to go?
I told you to get clear directions.
Didn't you say the building had a clock?
Oh, right! A building with a clock.
There it is! A building with a clock.
A clock? Let's go!
Let's go!
Please say hello.
Sunhui.
This is Baek Yeonhui, our new hire.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, too.
Seo Inhui, say hello.
- Hello. / - Hello. It's nice to meet you.
Cheongho Nice New Employee Training
Okay. I'll send you an email in 10 minutes.
Okay.
Hey, you!
May I help you?
Do you really work here?
I do, but...
Where's your ID card?
I left my ID card at the office.
Aren't you supposed to have it at all times?
How did you manage to forget?
I've been working here for 10 years.
Are you new here?
New or not...
I'll let you go this time,
but be careful from now on.
Have a nice day.
Right. Back then...
That means he knows Hwayeong.
Ms. Jeong. The sketches.
It's the women's winter line.
You're very curt, Ms. Baek.
I may have been demoted,
but I'm still a senior staff member.
Can't you just let me off the hook?
This is our workplace. I can't do that.
The present is all we have. The now.
I'm your boss. You work for me.
Be careful from now on, Ms. Baek.
There they go again.
I know, right?
Sojin, should we get some earplugs?
I think it's going to get loud.
Yungi, are you making fun of me?
Hi, Mr. Yu!
Hi.
How can I help you?
I'd like Ms. Baek...
Ms. Baek and I have some business to discuss.
Ms. Baek, get ready.
We're supposed to visit the stores.
Huh?
Oh. That's right.
Hold on.
Wait!
Let me ask you something.
When Ms. Baek was head of the department,
she visited the stores with you.
Now that I've been promoted, shouldn't I go?
Ms. Baek handled this up until now,
so the clients are asking for her.
Let's go.
Good human relations go a long way.
Be quiet and get back to work.
Are you doing okay?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about your demotion.
I told you.
I'll stay to the bitter end.
Anything you want to eat?
Why?
I want to take you out.
Should we go for pasta?
But what about the stores?
We'll take it slow.
Today, I'm going to treat you.
Come on. Let's go.
Grandma Jinsuk, where's mom?
Eat some ice cream and be patient.
Your mom will be here any minute. Okay?
Eat up.
What happened?
Why'd you use me as an
excuse to bring Jinwu?
How did you know?
How'd you know I did just that?
Hwayeong called this morning.
She asked if I planned to meet Jinwu.
So what did you tell her?
I told her I planned to meet Jinwu today.
Oh, thank goodness.
My dear Chef, you're so clever.
How did this clever brain fail the bar?
Oh, come on.
You need luck to pass.
But don't do this again.
If Hwayeong finds out... Ow, my head.
Welcome. Oh, Ms. Baek!
Hello. Aunt Jinsuk, hi.
You're here.
Where's Jinwu?
He's in the office. Go inside.
Okay.
Ms. Lee.
About what just happened...
You can never tell Hwayeong. Understood?
Yes. I'm no fool, ma'am.
Jinwu!
Mommy!
How are you, my darling?
Jinwu!
Sit and finish eating.
Have you been well?
You've been good, right?
Yeah.
Jinwu, I'm sorry.
It took me too long to come see you.
Ms. Lee told me that
you didn't want to see me.
She said you were bad.
That's not true.
Why wouldn't I want to see my son?
I missed you every second of every day.
Every day, you were all I thought about.
- Really? / - Really.
Me too.
But mom, when are you coming home?
Are you still on your business trip?
Mommy, don't leave me ever again.
Stay with me forever.
Okay. I'm sorry, Jinwu.
I'm so sorry.
My son.
Oh, right! Here.
Ms. Lee tried to steal it from me,
but I got it back.
Why didn't you take my present?
You're super pretty when you wear this.
Like a princess.
Should I put it on for you?
I'll do it.
There.
Is that good?
You look so pretty!
I'm sorry, Jinwu.
I'm so very sorry.
Mom...
Uncle Chansik, answer me honestly.
Are you meeting Jinwu with Ms. Jeong today?
I just woke up, so I forgot for a second,
but yeah, I'm supposed to meet Jinwu today.
Mr. Yu, take me to the restaurant.
Yes, ma'am.
Jinwu!
Jinwu, slow down.
Jinwu, were you hungry?
I didn't eat breakfast.
Why not?
With you gone...
You know he can't sleep or eat without you.
Jinwu, you can't do that.
But I can't sleep without you.
Jinwu.
Are you that happy to see your mom?
Yeah!
Oh, my darling son!
Aunt Jinsuk, thank you.
No, no.
I'll bring Jinwu out from time to time.
Just call ahead to let me know.
Thank you.
Take your time as you finish up.
Okay.
You're so lucky, Jinwu.
Sit down and eat.
Make sure you chew your food.
It's so heartbreaking.
Welcome.
I'm here, Aunt Jinsuk.
Where's Jinwu?
Jinwu?
Oh, he went out.
Michael took him out.
He did? Just the two of them?
- Yeah. / - Ms. Jeong?
Hwayeong.
Where's Jinwu?
Hwayeong! Hwayeong!
What do you think you're doing?
Jinwu, let's go.
No! I'm going to stay with mom!
I said let's go.
Don't touch him!
What did you say?
Mom, I don't want to go.
I want to stay with you.
Okay. Just stay with me. It's okay.
If you do this, grandma will scold you.
Got it? Let's go home.
No! I'm not going.
I said let's go.
Stop it!
Aunt Jinsuk, you know this isn't right.
No, I don't know.
Jinwu is still just a kid.
Of course he wants to see his mom.
We have no right to keep them apart.
I'm Jinwu's mother. I gave birth to him!
That's absurd.
I'll never let you take him! Never!
What gives you the right?
Your marriage was a farce.
Be quiet!
Are you insane? Jinwu's right there.
I'll take Jinwu home, so leave.
No. I'm taking Jinwu with me.
How can I trust you?
I'm not giving Jinwu back today.
He's staying with me.
What?
Yeonhui.
Aunt Jinsuk.
Jinwu needs to go see my mother.
My mother's in the hospital.
He hasn't seen her once.
Jinwu's her only grandson.
I'm taking him to the hospital to visit her.
Your mother's in a coma.
It's not like she'll recognize him or care.
You...
You're the one who put her in the hospital.
And if anything happens to her,
you will be sorry.
I won't forgive you for this, Aunt Jinsuk.
Mom, I'm scared.
Let's go home together.
There, there, Jinwu. It'll be okay.
You'll be fine. Hold on.
Just stay with me.
How could you do this to me?
How could you lie to me?
Hwayeong, I'm sorry I lied to you,
but what you're doing isn't right.
Uncle Chansik.
Blood is thicker than water.
It's not wrong for a kid to miss his mom.
Even if you seduced Byeongguk
and moved into his house,
you're not married to him
and you're not a member of his family.
So why should they do as you say?
Why are you meddling in their affairs?
You really don't know?
I know, but still...
You need to stop.
I get where you're coming from,
but I can't take your side anymore.
You're so selfish.
What?
I guess I'm not that important to you.
Are you afraid I'll get in the way
of your new relationship?
Hey, Lee Hwayeong!
How long did you mooch
off me and my family?
You witnessed your
nephew's gruesome death.
And still, that's what you're telling me?
Fine, let's say you're right.
Would Donghyeon approve of this?
If I knew you'd become
a surrogate for revenge,
if that's why you had President Jeong's child,
I would've stopped you.
Really?
We were broke and
about to live on the streets.
Could you have stopped me?
If you and mom were mature enough
to lead normal lives,
would I have ended up like this?
I never thought you'd betray me.
Michael? Chef Bae?
It's been a while. Have you been well?
Yes. Have you been well?
I want to ask you something.
You do?
Yes.
Are you going to marry my cutie pie, Suk?
Listen, professor.
Whether I marry her or not,
how is that your concern?
Don't worry about my cutie pie
and take good care of your cutie pie.
What? My cutie pie?
Here she comes.
Excuse me...
It's me. Are you busy?
Just a second.
Just proceed as planned.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
I was just at Aunt Jinsuk's restaurant.
But Aunt Jinsuk deceived us
and brought Jinwu to Yeonhui.
What?
Honey, come quickly if you can.
Figure this out. This isn't right.
Your mother would never allow this!
Just let it go.
Are you kidding me? You can't.
She deceived me
and took Jinwu to Yeonhui.
Does that mean nothing to you?
Yeonhui is still Jinwu's mother.
Of course she wants to see her son.
So it's okay for her to meet Jinwu
behind my back?
Hang up. I'm busy.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Yes. Why did you call?
What? Jinwu?
Oh my! Then what?
So, in conclusion,
the professor's using Ms. Jeong as an excuse
to come see me.
That's not what I think.
What?
Sunnam, what do you know?
The professor's into me.
He's gotten over his feelings for Ms. Jeong.
President Gwak!
Where's Jinsuk?
Is she in the office?
This is it. In the summer, cold noodles are...
I know you've had a tough day
dealing with Hwayeong and stuff.
Speaking of which,
what's wrong with Hwayeong?
Was she always that evil?
She's not evil. She's just kind of mean.
Yes, Ms. Lee?
Huija?
Huija.
Jinsuk, what'd you leave your office for?
It was break time, so I got some cold noodles.
Do you know why I'm here?
Jinsuk.
I made it quite clear. Did you have to do this?
Let's go.
Where to?
To get Jinwu.
Yeonhui took Jinwu
to visit her mother at the hospital.
That's where we need to go.
Huija, just let her go.
Jinwu's just visiting his grandmother.
She's in a coma at the hospital.
We can't keep her grandson from visiting her.
It's bad enough that you kicked Yeonhui out.
If you don't let her see her son...
Did I kick her out for no reason?
She deserved it!
But imagine how tough it must've been
for her to ask me to bring Jinwu to her.
The divorce isn't even official yet.
And even if they were divorced,
she still has a right to see her son.
In any case, get up.
This is all your fault,
so get up now.
Huija, we should at least call Yeonhui and...
There's no need for that.
What if she runs off and hides Jinwu?
Huija.
Let's go already!
Oh, no.
What are you doing here?
Mom, is grandma at this hospital?
Jinwu.
When you see grandma and grandpa,
you have to bow respectfully, okay?
Like this, right?
Good afternoon.
Perfect. You're so polite, Jinwu.
Jinwu!
Mother.
Jinwu, come here.
Come here, Jinwu. Come on.
Come to grandma.
My little puppy, have you eaten yet?
Jinsuk, take Jinwu to the car.
You can't take him.
You can't take him, mother.
What do you think you're doing?
Mother.
Jinwu came to visit his grandparents.
He needs to see his grandparents.
You have no right to do this.
What? No right?
How dare you say that to me?
Jinsuk! Get Jinwu in the car.
Huija...
Put him in the car!
No, mother.
Huija, what's the matter?
As long as we're here,
let's pay her ailing mother a visit.
No thank you.
We can do that later.
Jinwu, come with grandma.
I'm going to see Grandma Geumok.
Darling Jinwu. You should listen to grandma.
If you go into that hospital,
it'll be bad for your health.
Children can't be around sick people.
Mother, please.
It'll only be a minute. Please?
I just need 10 minutes.
Jinwu, let's go.
Mr. Kim!
Jinwu!
Let's go.
Jinwu!
Mr. Kim!
Open this door! Open the door!
Mom!
Open the door! Jinwu! Jinwu!
- Jinwu! / - Mom!
Jinwu!
Open the door! Open this door now!
Stop this! Leave now!
Mother! Please don't do this, mother.
Mother! Mother...
Mr. Kim, let's go.
Jinwu! Jinwu!
Mom!
Jinwu!
Mom!
Mom...
Mom!
Jinwu!
Jinwu...
I wanted them to feel
the same pain I felt.
Mom, you woke up!
Everything's okay now.
We were so worried about you, mom.
Mom...
Yes, Jinwu.
I'm right here.
You're not my mom.
I am your mom.
Say "mom."
Wait for me, Jinwu.
I'll be by your side, no matter what.
Your mom's never coming back.
I'm your mom from now on.
No! No!
I hate you!
Dad, bring me mom!
Right now!
