(Episode 66)
Jiyu.
Gangu.
I'm sorry.
I think...
We should say that to Maeum.
Our Maeum...
He would've been so cute.
When he took his first steps...
When he said "mom" for the first time...
His first birthday...
His first trip...
Everything that we should've shared with him...
For us...
And for Maeum...
They would've been a first for all of us.
I feel so bad that we couldn't do anything with him.
I'm the one that should've done it all with him.
At least I should've been there.
But for all these years...
I haven't done anything for him.
I didn't...
Want him to be my son.
The fact that he was my son...
Was too much of a burden.
So I didn't even smile for him.
At least from now on...
We must protect him.
He's only 6 years old.
Anything that will hurt him...
We can never let it happen.
I know.
I think the same.
But once the divorce gets underway...
The fight for custody could prolong the legal battle.
We need to prepare ourselves.
If anyone should get hurt...
I want it to be me.
If I can just protect Maeum...
I can endure the pain.
So please promise me.
Please think of Maeum more than me from now on.
He's the one you must protect now not me.
That is how you can protect me.
I don't believe this.
So stealing your child wasn't enough?
Now she's using him to threaten you?
Hong Sunbok!
But why did you come home alone?
You should've brought your child. He's your son.
That's what I want to do.
I want to be with him and make up
for the 5 years I couldn't be with him.
But if I said I'd take Maeum,
the fight would've continued.
Maeum was very frightened.
I couldn't fight again in front of Maeum.
Rather than keeping him near me...
Making sure he doesn't get hurt is more important.
You know that he's your son now,
you can bring him home.
But I'm worried.
She's planning to use him as a witness in court.
What?
That will be Chae Seorin's last resort.
He's thought of Chae Seorin has his mom for 5 years.
Secretary Chae...
She believes there's more of a chance
that he'll choose her.
Does Director Yu know as well?
He knows now...
That Maeum is my child.
We're going to think of something together.
That's right. You should prepare yourself and fight.
I'll help too.
I'm so scared...
That Maeum will get hurt.
I'm not hurting him out of my greed, am I?
Goodness.
Your his mother and you're trying to get him back.
Who would say that is being greedy?
It is not.
You must get your child back.
I'll be coming by with my lawyer tomorrow.
Good.
Let's see what kind of fight it will be.
I'm going to tell father first.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
The moment he finds out,
the entire world will start talking about Maeum.
The bigger this gets...
It'll be Maeum who gets hurt more, honey.
Okay then.
You raised Maeum.
Then you should at least act like half his mom.
You should worry that he might get hurt.
And want to protect your child.
I'm doing this because I'm worried about him.
Because of a new mom suddenly appearing,
Maeum might get hurt.
He'll lose the mom he loved for 5 years
and get hurt.
I'm just trying to protect him.
No.
All you want to protect in the end is yourself.
If you want to condemn me, you show me instead.
If you want to protect him, pretend this didn't happen.
Then I'll try to accept it.
That you actually love Maeum.
Otherwise, you have no right to condemn me.
Jiyu.
Dad.
I've missed you.
I know. My daughter.
Dad.
It's so hard.
Maeum...
He's my child.
I want to bring him home right now.
But I can't.
What should I do?
Jiyu.
There's a story about King Solomon's wisdom.
Two women brought one child and
each claimed that he was their own.
King Solomon handed them a sword and
told them to cut him in half so they'd have half each.
The fake mother agreed to it.
But the real mother...
Because she didn't want to hurt the child,
claimed that the child was not hers.
That's what being a mother is about.
In case her child gets hurt...
She can't even claim him as her own.
That is the true mother.
Dad...
My daughter.
I'm sure you'll be a good mother.
Dad.
You're a mother with a child!
You must live! You must!
What you said...
In the accident as you saved me...
I now understand...
Why you said that, dad.
So that I can protect my child...
Dad, please...
Give me strength.
Please step aside. I need to see Maeum.
You can't.
Just for a minute.
Don't do this.
Miss Jiyu!
Maeum!
Did you sleep well? Are you okay?
Maeum...
Are you okay? You have a fever...
Maeum! Maeum! Maeum!
Hurry up and call Dr. Jo! Hurry!
Maeum, wake up. Maeum! Oh, no...
Maeum...
I'll be right back.
It'll be okay.
Maeum, hang in there... I will....
I...
Your mom will make you all better.
You'll be okay, Maeum.
You'll be okay. It's okay.
I could agree to the divorce.
But I cannot give up on full custody.
He hasn't done anything for his child for 5 years.
I have a better relationship with the child as well.
We are at a disadvantage but...
If your relationship with the child is certain,
we do have a chance to win.
Of course.
I've given everything to raise Maeum.
He is okay, right?
Yes, fortunately the fever's going down.
It's all because you acted swiftly.
What's happened to him all of a sudden?
What's wrong with him?
Seeing as there's nothing noticeably wrong with him.
I think he was under extreme stress.
Geez.
And they call themselves parents.
What were they doing until this happened?
Geez...
They use company work as an excuse to neglect him.
Fool.
You take care of Maeum.
Dr. Jo.
Do you have a few minutes?
I remembered...
How you were worried about
a dark shadow cast over Maeum.
Could you tell me in detail?
Since I'll be looking after him,
I thought I should know.
Yes...
Children who grown up in an environment like Maeum,
experience stress from exhaustive study
from a young age.
As these conditions continue...
They can become more sensitive to minor stress.
If this gets worse...
He may develop emotional disorders.
Take this. And I'll be in touch.
- Thank you. / - Bye.
Let's go talk somewhere.
About what?
About Maeum.
Okay, honey.
You remember where this is, right?
I thought you wanted to talk about Maeum.
You...
You've had many chances.
When you met my dad.
When you...
Found out that Maeum was alive.
No...
When you confirmed that I was alive.
You could've asked for forgiveness.
And turned everything back to the way they should be.
What do you think you're doing?
Why?
Are you afraid?
Just as you did to my mom...
Are you afraid...
That I'll push you down there?
Move!
Save me.
Save you? You killed my mother...
And you dare ask to be saved?
Fine!
I killed your mom! So what?
Your mom...
Called me Sunbok and looked down on me.
She disrespected me and insulted me!
She treated me like I was still not good enough!
How could I just stand by?
So...
You finally speak the truth.
Yeah!
I killed her!
That hotshot mother of yours...
I killed her!
Yes...
You finally confessed.
Here on this day...
My friend Hong Sunbok died.
Now only the monster, Chae Seorin remains.
Since you're a monster...
I should treat you like one.
For my child's sake.
So what will you do?
No matter what you do...
I won't lose Maeum to you.
Maeum...
I'll leave him as he is.
What?
It isn't for you.
It's for Maeum.
My secret...
Are you saying you'll keep it?
But only on two conditions.
You can never force him to stand in court.
No matter what.
And don't interfere with me taking care of him.
If you agree to these, I'll stop here.
However.
That doesn't mean I'm giving up on him.
Until he gets a little older...
Until he can accept it...
I just need time.
So in other words...
You want a truce?
No.
Not exactly.
Because from now on...
I will lock you up in an emotional prison.
What?
For the rest of your life...
You'll be filled with anxiety...
And fear...
And misery.
Yeah!
I killed her!
That hotshot mother of yours...
I killed her!
I'll be watching you.
As I watch you cower in fear...
If you ever hurt Maeum...
You will be judged once again.
Then...
You won't be able to escape so easily.
Kang Jiyu...
You dare threaten me?
Fine.
I'll hold back for now
since I need my deeds hidden.
But I won't just let her have her way.
Maeum.
Are you okay now?
Yes, grandpa. I'm all better now.
Once I get better...
Miss Jiyu said she'd take me on a picnic.
That's why I got better quickly.
Good, good. Good boy. Is that right?
Honey, why don't we go on a date too?
The weather's so nice these days.
I'm too busy with work.
Why don't you go on a trip with Mirae?
Are you really cheating...
No, I mean...
Let's take a breather. Stop pretending to be busy.
Stop thinking of playing and work for a change.
Good morning, Chairman.
Miss Jiyu!
I'm all better now.
Really? You're so strong, Maeum.
Maeum is really looking forward to it.
So go and have fun with him.
Yes, Chairman Yu.
Now that he's seen you,
Maeum is smiling again.
I like Miss Jiyu, grandpa.
Good. Good.
That kid.
You dare to threaten me?
I only did exactly as you do.
Don't push it.
My patience has a limit.
Listen carefully.
Just because I haven't revealed that
Maeum is my son...
Don't think that you've won.
I'm just waiting for Maeum's sake.
The fact that Maeum is my son...
Don't you forget it, even for a moment.
What brings you here?
What did that mean?
That Maeum...
Is Kang Jiyu's child?
Miss Jiyu, can't you live with me?
I don't like waiting till you come over.
Maeum.
Do you know how good waiting is?
Waiting is a good thing?
Of course.
Waiting means that
something very exciting is about to happen.
Look.
It's dark at night
but if you wait a little longer, morning arrives.
And when it's pouring rain,
if you just wait, the sun comes up.
How great is that? Waiting is amazing.
Yes. It's good because if I wait, you come.
Maeum, you're so clever. You're a genius.
Maeum.
Dad!
Didn't you leave for work?
I thought of somewhere to go together.
This is just unbelievable.
You're ability to stab me in the back...
Is beyond imagination.
I know what you're worried about.
But you need not worry.
I've already taken care of it.
You've taken care of it?
Yu Gangu and Kang Jiyu...
Won't be able to say a word.
He won't bring up divorce for the time being either.
Are you saying...
Yu Gangu knows about all of this?
Even if he does...
Nothing has changed.
What do you mean nothing has changed?
What if he were to tell Chairman Yu about this?
Do you not realize Hong Sunbok and my business,
all of it is put in danger?
We're almost there.
We just need a little more time.
Chairman Yu doesn't have much time left either.
I will help you.
You think you can be of help to me?
Before Kang Jiyu turned up,
I took care of everything you told me to.
The successor will be decided soon.
I'll help you.
I'll call for you, so just wait.
I'll think about...
What to do with you.
Maeum...
I wanted them to meet him.
I wanted to ask for forgiveness again...
And I wanted to tell them something.
Maeum.
Say hello to grandpa and grandma.
Who are they?
They're my mom and dad.
They're in heaven.
Hello, grandpa and grandma.
Thank you, Maeum.
Dad...
Mom...
This is my child.
Dad, this is...
The baby that you saved.
Do you see...
My child?
You can see everything from where you are, right?
Just as you protected me, dad...
I want to...
Protect this child.
Miss Jiyu, why are you crying?
I miss my mom and dad...
So much.
I heard that heaven is a good place.
Don't cry.
Thank you, Maeum.
Thank you.
Father and mother...
We should've shown you our child...
When you were still alive.
I'm sorry.
Mother, I'll make sure nothing that you
worried about ever happens.
I will protect Jiyu and Maeum.
I'll take care of them.
Being together like this...
Eating and spending time together.
It feels real.
That we're a family.
I don't want to call you...
Miss Jiyu anymore.
Jiyu.
I can't help it when other people are around.
But I can call you like this when we're alone, right?
Yes.
When you were in the accident...
You don't know...
Just how much I looked for you.
But...
Chae Seorin found you before me...
Fate has been so cruel to us.
If it wasn't her...
And I'd found you first...
We could've been happy much sooner.
I am...
Happy now.
We can be with Maeum.
After the accident...
I was unconscious...
But Maeum was safely born.
He overcame that hardship.
And came to us.
I'm so grateful for him.
Dad!
Here I come!
Spray it upward.
- Let me see. / - Just like others...
If only we could raise our child normally.
If only we could share a normal life...
Laugh together...
Cry together... Comfort each other...
If we could just live like that...
How good would that be?
But what's normal for others...
Is a desperate dream for us...
And our wish.
Tell her to come.
Miss Jiyu!
Here I come.
I'm going to get you!
No...
(Secrets of Women)
It seems like Secretary Byeon
is meeting the directors.
I'm sure Byeon Ilgu wants to take over Mosung.
Driver Oh Dongsu?
That Oh Dongsu fellow saved your life.
I'm nervous. Yu Gangu recorded me with his phone.
We have to delete it.
We recorded Chae Seorin's confession.
Her confessing to killing my mom.
I'm worried about Jiyu.
I think it's getting more dangerous for her.
