"A springboard to get a promotion"?
Who wrote this article?
Mr Oh is probably behind it.
Calm down, Jae Min.
Let go.
Mr Choi, please stop him.
Calm down. Getting angry right now won't do you any good.
Please, let go.
Mr Oh wouldn't care a bit even if you get angry.
If you seem overly emotional, that means we lose.
Let go.
This is not about winning or losing.
Jeong A's parents...
adopted Ju Yeon...
with a sorrowful heart.
What would they think when they see this article?
They'll think I used their sadness for my benefit.
How can they be so cruel?
How can they use it like this?
(Manager Kim Jae Min used the campaign to get a promotion.)
(The missing children campaign was a springboard to get a promotion.)
Unbelievable.
This is awful.
I think this is a warning message from Mr Oh...
telling him to know his place.
Warning or whatever it may be,
what would the kids' parents think of him?
Mr Oh just made me doubt the good things in life.
How am I...
supposed to fix this?
Jae Min can just give up the on-site day care centre.
Did you think he'd be okay after cancelling Mr Oh's project?
Can no one in this company...
stop Mr Oh?
Who can stop him?
All of Mr Oh's projects have done very well.
He's the guy who doubled our sales.
The premium exhibition hall is the same.
The company has no reason not to want it.
A luxury brand strategy will...
improve the company's image...
and increase the sales.
There's no reason to oppose his plan.
Mr Kim sure is...
in a losing game.
Mr Oh asked me to testify...
that you received bribes...
from our distributors.
I can't figure out what's on his mind.
Hey.
You drank so much last night. Did you get home safely?
Of course.
You told me...
all kinds of things yesterday. Do you remember that?
What do you mean?
You drank way too much.
What did I say?
You don't remember?
Try to remember it.
You're in deep trouble.
Tell me what I...
Did I say something I wasn't supposed to say?
Hey.
Eat this.
You need energy to keep fighting.
Eat this.
Mr Yoo.
What...
did I do wrong?
It's not like...
I was taking any money like somebody did.
I was just an ordinary man.
I dared to take paternity leave.
While raising my kids,
I came to understand what parents want.
That's how I got here.
When I left Ga Ram behind at a day care centre,
I burst into tears.
I came to understand how Mi So had been feeling.
I thought it'd be great to have an on-site day care centre.
I thought I'd take the initiative if no one else wants to.
That's how I ended up here.
If I had any bigger ambitions or hidden intentions,
I wouldn't even feel this terrible.
I just spoke up to make something better.
The missing kid campaign is the same.
When my daughter's friend went missing,
my heart sank.
I'm sorry to say this,
but while looking for the kid,
a part of me felt grateful...
because it wasn't my daughter that went missing.
When I look back on that time, my heart still aches.
That's why I started the missing kid campaign.
I know. I understand you.
I'm just so angry.
I know he wants to hold me back,
but there's always a limit.
A kid is involved here.
Grown-ups are supposed to protect kids.
We shouldn't advertise that the kids was adopted.
But nowadays, people no longer try to keep adoption a secret.
I know that.
But that's only when the parents explain well to the kid.
It's not something everyone should gossip about.
Did he suggest a day care centre for his own interests?
He makes it look like it's for us. He's clever.
Guys!
That article is fake.
I never did such an interview.
Don't try to fool us. It even has a picture of you.
Go away!
I thought we were finally getting an on-site day care centre.
Everyone has turned their backs on you now.
I just want to...
quit everything.
Mi So.
Tell Jae Min to give up on the on-site day care centre.
I'm so scared he'll get in bigger trouble.
Do you think he'll listen to me?
He got on Mr Oh's bad side because of me.
I feel so sorry that I can't even look him in the eye.
His day care centre plan has nothing to do with you.
- Still... - I don't think...
I can forgive Dung Kim.
Jae Min wanted to keep the kid's adoption secret.
How could the article come out?
Dung Kim must have let on to Mr Oh.
That's obvious.
I think it's time...
to reveal Mum's recording.
If we're going to reveal it anyway, I want to do it right.
I ate almost nothing.
- Mi So. - Yes?
Jae Min is so depressed now.
I just talked to him,
and he said he wanted to quit everything.
All the employees are criticising him.
He must be very shocked to say such a thing.
- This is not okay. - What do you mean?
I'll take care of your kids tonight.
You two go on a date or something.
That sounds good. You should cheer Jae Min up.
Okay.
Mr Yoo, did Dung Kim say anything last night?
You said you'd sound him out while having drinks.
I asked him about things, but he wouldn't say anything.
So I pulled his leg.
- What did you do? - I made him think...
as if he told me something huge.
- Really? - Yes.
I asked him.
Mr Kim.
What will happen to you now?
What do you mean?
What's going on?
What did I say?
Just wait. You'll find out soon enough.
I'm going to visit Jeong A's parents.
Can you pick up the kids?
Okay. Explain well to them.
I will. It won't take long.
Mr Kim.
Keep your chin up.
You keep your chin up.
He seems so discouraged.
Ga Ram. Mum is here.
Come here.
- Where are the kids? - They're in the room.
By the way,
why are you here? You should be on a date with Jae Min.
I gave it some thought,
and I thought he might rather want to be alone.
That's how I felt when I was going through something rough.
So you left him alone at home?
No.
I left something special for him.
What?
Something special?
I'm home, Mi So.
Is no one home?
Bang Geul.
Where's everyone?
What is this?
Present number one.
There's nothing better than exercise when you're depressed.
Who would I play basketball with at this hour?
With us.
What is this?
Gosh.
Who else would you play with?
Let's go.
Come on.
What are you two doing here at this hour?
Mi So invited us.
Do you play some ball?
I heard you only used to play baseball.
My gosh.
Don't you see this uniform?
It says JM.
Never mind.
My goodness.
Get changed.
- Right now? - Yes, right now. Let's go.
Players, get ready.
Are you ready?
Okay. The loser will play with me.
It's a prejudice to think short people can't play basketball.
I didn't think that way.
Make sure you prepare that money.
I'll use my credit card.
Okay.
You'll go over your limit today.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I like the spirit.
My goodness. Are you tired already?
Not at all.
Hey!
Be careful.
He scored.
That was nice.
- Here. - My gosh.
What's the second event?
Isn't it obvious?
- Sorry? - It's me.
I'm the second event.
I'm here, Mi So.
Mi So.
You're home, Honey.
What's with you?
The kids are...
at Ye Eun's right now.
Wait. I'll shower quickly.
He's in such a hurry.
Mi So.
Are you asleep?
I knew it. Things were going too well.
Hey.
You're here way too quickly.
I found her snoring...
after I got out of the shower.
This is disappointing.
She said she put in so much effort into the second event.
Next time. Please help us out next time.
Of course.
Right. She said there was a third event.
What? Is there something more?
Bang Geul, it's late. Wash up and go to sleep.
- Okay. - Ga Ram, say goodnight to her.
Look, that's our family newspaper.
(Bang Geul's family story)
(I love my family.)
Is this the third event?
I love the third one the most.
(Bang Geul's family story)
My goodness.
Did you sleep well?
I think I was tired from everything that's been going on.
I think I fell asleep while I waited for you.
We always have another day.
Wake Bang Geul.
I will.
You can always give up if it's too hard.
I'm talking about the on-site day care centre.
I won't be disappointed even if you give up.
Thank you, Mi So.
Are you sure you're good at sports?
You lost at running and at basketball.
My gosh, I told you. He barely beat me by a point.
Your height is useless. Right, Eun Sol?
Eun Sol, what's on your mind?
Mum.
The thing is, Min Ho...
What about him?
You have something here.
- Where? - Let me.
- Let's go to the playground later. - Okay.
Eun Sol, we're going to play at the playground this weekend.
Really?
May I come, too?
Do as you wish.
What about him?
He's acting a bit strange.
He doesn't talk a lot like he used to.
Min Ho must be angry.
I told you.
Guys also get hurt if they get turned down.
So are you concerned?
I am. We used to play together all the time.
But when I asked him to play with me this weekend, he said "whatever".
What a cold guy.
I want to be good friends with him again.
You have to understand him, though.
He likes you,
but you said you like Woo Seong better.
Min Ho needs some time to get his heart together.
Is Min Ho...
playing hard to get right now?
- Do you think so? - I think he is.
How cute.
When is the second meeting for shared babysitting centre?
I want to come this time.
That meeting gives me a headache. The ladies are so talkative.
We have to go through this process, anyway.
How are people reacting to the promotional material?
Many people are taking the flyers,
but no one's willing to participate.
We can form a committee if we have just one more family.
That's disappointing.
Right, why didn't I think of this?
Who? Is there another family?
We have one more person who is in a dire need of this.
Did I do something wrong, Ms Yoon?
My gosh, why are you so scared?
Honey.
Do you still treat your employees in a authoritative way?
No. Where's that coming from?
Ms Choi, tell her how I treat the nurses these days.
He's changed a lot.
He even had black bean noodles with us the other day.
Really?
It was nice not to eat alone.
Why did you want to see me?
Have you found a day care centre for your baby?
I heard it's hard to find a spot these days.
I haven't.
The baby will stay with my parents in my hometown,
and I'll visit them on the weekends.
Do you know that we're starting a shared babysitting centre?
Yes.
Can I join you?
Of course.
That'd be great.
My baby could stay there when I'm on a night shift.
You could work there on your off-days, too.
I'll join. I'd love to.
It'll take 7 to 8 months until the establishment.
Find a place to leave your baby until then.
Help us out with babysitting, too.
I thought people never changed.
So did I.
Aren't you going back to work?
I'm leaving now.
See you.
Now, we'll be able to move forward with our plan.
That's right.
The hardest part will be gathering parents' ideas.
Everyone wants different things.
That's right.
Why are you so late?
Have you been waiting for me?
What did...
What did I say to Trumpet Yoo?
I don't think I can tell you.
Mr Yoo...
said it was just between us.
Hey.
I might reveal your mother's recording if you don't listen to me.
That's not okay.
Then tell me.
Let's talk this evening.
I'll tell you everything.
I liked the article. It'll help the company a lot.
Thank you...
for releasing that article.
What do you mean?
Wasn't the article written by the same journalist...
as the one who interviewed you...
about the missing kid campaign?
Economy newspaper journalists...
check websites of corporations every now and then.
I think the journalist was...
touched by what Jeong A's parents wrote.
Aren't you impressed by his insight?
He knows you'll be the youngest director in our company.
I'll keep pursuing the on-site day care centre plan.
There's no way I'll be a director.
The company wants a premium exhibition hall.
I think an on-site day care centre can wait a bit longer.
A premium exhibition hall...
doesn't seem so urgent to me, either.
Do you understand?
Jae Min.
Are you okay?
Thanks to Mi So, I'm a lot better.
How did Dung Kim react?
I told him that I'll tell him everything this evening.
Mr Yoo. Are you sure you can do this?
Well, you see, I'm a timid person.
What?
Then stay out. We'll take care of it.
Hey, you can't tell me to stay out so easily like that.
Hi, Mum.
- How did it go? - What do you mean?
Ms Ok's recording. Did you reveal it?
We will.
How are you going to do it?
Mum, I'm busy now. I'll call you back.
What did he say?
He's busy. He'll call me back.
We're so worried. He should tell us what's going on.
What's with him? Why can't he discuss it with us?
He must think we know nothing.
Mi So and Ye Eun haven't called us once, either.
They can't look down on us like this.
Let's not care about them. Let's just focus on our lives.
Let's do that.
Let's not visit them until they want us to.
Of course not. I won't visit them.
Promise me.
You keep your promise.
Those brats.

Why are you all here?
