Child?
What's your name?
I'm not a bad person. You can tell me.
- What's your name? - My name is Bi-an.
Can you tell me your name one more time?
My name is Hwang Bi-an.
Child?
Come a little closer.
I just want to see you up close. Nothing more.
Understand?
- Where's mom? - Says she's not hungry.
How does she look?
I asked from outside. I was too afraid to go in.
She's probably lying down.
- I'll check on her. - Stay seated.
Seeing you won't help.
But...
Listen to me unless you want her bursting a vein.
Lady!
Yes, ma'am!
You called?
Yeah, I need you to go to the Paju farm.
- The farm in Paju? - Yeah.
They claim to be organic but their food doesn't reflect this.
Meet the supervisor there and take a look around.
Right now?
- Yes, now. - Yes, ma'am.
I expected you to mope in bed all day after being rejected by Hyeong-woo.
But my, you're lively.
Don't push my buttons.
Then again, this is very like you.
So why skip breakfast? Hunger strike?
- I'm meeting someone for breakfast. - You should've told us.
The atmosphere's so weird out there it's hard to swallow a single bite.
Hyeong-woo didn't eat?
Unfortunately for you, he had a great appetite today.
Go eat.
Did you get all that? Can you repeat it back to me?
I am sorry. I was not thinking clearly yesterday.
Right.
I will sleep with you tonight.
So go apologize like that, okay?
But I... do not want to sleep with mom.
Please, Hyeong-woo. I'll draw you something later.
- Please? - Okay.
Mother, going somewhere?
I'm meeting someone for breakfast. Gotta stop by Dream In, too.
I see.
Mom, I am sorry.
I was not thinking clearly yesterday.
I will sleep with you tonight.
It's fine. Your bedroom is upstairs now.
I am sorry. I was not thinking clearly yesterday.
I will sleep with you tonight.
Eun-young told you to do this?
Please, Hyeong-woo. I'll draw you something later.
That was unnecessary.
I'm sorry. I just...
Enough.
We have guests coming over. Lady won't be here so you need to cook.
How many guests?
Around 20. I'll just hire someone if you can't handle it.
I'll try it on my own.
Okay.
Do you have a preference for the menu?
It'll be nearly impossible for you to please these high class people.
Just prepare something you're good at.
I'll do that.
Guests? At our house?
Meanwhile you take care of your brother.
Will do.
Mom.
What's going on?
She's been looking for the baby ever since she woke up.
Mom, please tell me it's not true. Tell me Bo-young's lying.
It's true. Your baby's dead.
He died in your womb.
You're lying. I don't believe you. I felt him inside, alive and well.
He's alive and you're mistaken.
- I'm going to go check - Check what?
You think I'd lie about a baby like this?
Mom...
Why are you yelling at her? She's upset right now.
Upset? You never even saw his face. How could you be upset?
Then how do you think I feel?
I'm all twisted up inside, have been for a while!
What mother wouldn't be when her unmarried daughter
plans to be a single mother?
Don't waste your tears.
It worked out for the best. He did the right thing leaving like this.
Much better for me and for you.
What a pretty baby.
Staring now I'm your grandmother.
Swear to me you'll look after him like a real grandson.
Don't you worry.
I'll never let him out of my arms and treat him like a prince.
This child's dead to me now.
So take this secret to your grave. We're strangers now.
That's what I wanna say to you. Don't come around asking to see him.
Give him here.
She's not picking up. Did something happen?
I'll look around the neighborhood again.
- We'll go. - Yes, we'll go.
It's fine. You two head out to the sauna.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
Bye.
These calla lilies need to be viewed when in their prime.
I hope she sees them before they wither.
Idiot, you think the flowers are important? Why do you think mom went missing?
Hit my head again and I'll go missing.
This time don't steal my valuables.
Geez, it was a joke.
Sweetums, I know you hit me out of love.
Hey, Bo-young.
Mom? She hasn't called me.
It's just that it doesn't seem like she went out to run errands.
She left things half-done and even left her cell phone.
- You looked around the neighborhood? - I asked everyone, but no luck.
Let's wait a little longer. Yeah, call me if you hear from her.
Please leave a message...
Mom, it's Eun-young.
Where are you? Everyone's worried so give us a call.
The chairwoman is making her rounds.
Around the stores?
- I heard her son stole the hair clip. - He did?
Hello, ma'am.
Didn't you fix things like I told you?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Is this how you take care of matters?
Too many people witnessed the incident.
Say what?
The correction article ended up fanning the flames with its lies.
What lies?
Ma'am.
So you agree that Hyeong-woo is a disabled thief?
I shouldn't have left this in your hands.
His own brother believes it of him. I can't expect otherwise from strangers.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
I'm sure you weren't exactly displeased to have the world find out about him.
That's not it at all.
No more excuses. I'll take care of this myself.
Can you taste this for me?
Here, say "ah."
- Ah. - Ah.
What do you think?
It is strange.
It is?
Hmm, you're right. It's bland.
Can you pour me some soy sauce?
- Soy sauce? A little. - Yes, that's right.
That's good.
It's good.
We made this together.
You did well.
As did you.
You seem awfully unhurried, playing around with Hyeong-woo.
Do you need something?
Chopped suey, marinated ribs and vegetables.
Is this party for peasants?
- I don't know what the guests like. - Understandably.
This is a feast to you, right?
It is.
We rarely eat ribs at our house, unless it's my father's birthday.
Were you offended?
I'm being honest.
Know of a better dish I could prepare?
Like I'd help.
What brings you here?
Regrettably, I just turned in my resignation.
He knew since the day you came to the coffee shop.
Hello, sweetie. - Hey, where are you?
I'm picking up Mr. Choi. We're going to Eun-young's together.
- I see. - Where are you?
I just came back to the office after meeting a friend's wife.
Why would your friend's wife come to see you?
Ah. I think... he has another woman.
So?
He used me as an excuse.
She already had proof.
But I think she desperately needed to hear otherwise, even if it was a lie.
What a foolish woman, wasting her time when she already has proof.
I guess she really wanted to believe him.
You did well.
She didn't tell you where she went?
She won't and she's like a ticking time bomb.
She keeps picking fights with customers.
Okay. I'm a little busy right now so I'll give you a call later.
Bye.
Just a pinch.
A pinch.
You did well, Hyeong-woo.
Hyeong-woo!
Hyeong-woo?
What are you doing?
We did this together.
Oh no, Hyeong-woo.
I did well.
- Sweetie, it's me. - Hey.
What's up?
I was just wondering when you'd be home.
Anything you'd like for dinner?
I'll be home late tonight.
No, no meeting. I have to work late.
Okay, bye.
Come in.
- What's this? - Mr. Jeong left it while you were out.
He did?
Why'd he quit before you found another chauffeur?
Beats me.
- Mother, welcome home. - Thanks. How's the cooking going?
Well, the thing is...
What is all this?
You're gonna serve my guests with cooked food from the market?
I ran out of time.
You should've told me if it was too much to handle.
I'm sorry.
I want my kitchen cleared.
What about the guests?
The dinner's been cancelled.
A stroke of luck, I'd say.
What is up with you?
What do you mean?
You cleaned again and again at the sauna and now at home, too?
I'm cleaning cause it's dirty. Stop picking a fight.
Seriously, that's enough.
I know you get like this when you're really angry.
So tell me. What's the cause?
I'm bored and listless now that I don't have to worry about money.
Gosh...
- I'm home. - Keep it down. Shh.
- Mom still on a rampage? - Where's Hong-jin?
Hiding at the sauna. He's scared of mom.
What is it?
That was awfully cute of you.
Come again?
The guests were imaginary, right? I knew it.
Get out.
Was Hyeong-woo's betrayal that much of a shock?
Enough to wanna prank Eun-young?
I said, get out.
I rather like this side of you.
It's a human side of you I've never seen before.
All right, I'm leaving already.
How much is this?
This is twelve dollars, sir.
- One moment, please. - Take your time.
Thanks. Here you go.
- Thank you. - Hold on.
Don't forget the change.
I'm not really sure how much I owe you.
- Goodbye. - No, no good.
The item cost 12 dollars. You gave me 20.
So you need 8 dollars back.
- That is right. 8 dollars. - Yup.
Is this too hard?
It'll get easier with more practice.
From now on, pay me whenever you want to use something in this room.
Not for real. Just as practice.
Sleepy? That's all for today.
Hi, mom.
I can talk.
- What happened this morning? - I was feeling stuffy and took a walk.
Nothing happened.
Your mother-in-law treat you well? And Hyeong-woo, too?
Of course.
Good enough. Let's hang up.
Mom, something's totally up, right?
Nothing's up at all. I'm so restless I could cheat on your dad.
It's puberty all over again.
Gotta go. I'm sleepy.
Bye.
I just want to see you up close. Nothing more.
Understand?
- Na-kyeong? - Oh my!
Why so surprised?
I didn't hear you come out. Do you need something?
You've been strange all evening. Did something happen?
No, nothing.
Aren't you gonna get that?
Ah, right.
- Welcome home. - Hey.
- You're late today. - I thought you'd be in bed.
I can't sleep until you're safe at home.
- Good night. - You, too.
What was that?
Mr. Jeong quit today.
He did? Why all of a sudden?
Beats me.
He just quit without any notice.
Maybe he found a better job?
How irresponsible. It's unlike him.
You know him well?
Not really. I thought he was responsible because he was with my father for years.
Ah, that's right.
He used to be your father's chauffeur.
Yes.
How inconvenient for you. Better find a replacement soon.
I'll take my time.
Sometimes having a chauffeur is more inconvenient.
That's good to hear. You ate already, right?
Yeah.
Wash up. I'll go check up on mother.
Why'd you do it?
Do what?
Wash up.
We'll talk after I check in on mother.
What's going on?
Did you drink?
I did.
I drank a lot.
Alright. That's fine.
Let's go to sleep already.
Sleep.
Why'd you have to be so darn poor?
You've worked your butt off, struggling and straining.
Yet your entire life has been one failure after another.
For that I apologize.
But I can't change that now. You gonna sleep or what?
C'mon, let's sleep.
You should've become a thief.
You should've made our lives easier, even if it meant cheating some poor sap.
If only you had had money...
Eun-young would've never gone to the countryside for college to save money.
She would've lived at home instead of on her own, working to pay her bills.
If she'd lived at home, she'd have never met that jerk.
Then she wouldn't have gone through so much...
What's the use of thinking "if only" now?
You don't know what kind of scum I really am, do you?
Stop it.
I...
Dear me... you're totally wasted...
Enough already.
Have some jujube tea.
It improves blood circulation so it'll help you sleep better.
I've seen that look in your eyes before.
Tell me why you did it.
That's what I'm doing.
You've never given me a warm, loving look in our 5 years together.
Do you remember...
You got drunk on our first night together.
You said, "I'm sorry. I have no room for you in my heart."
I won't be able to love you in our lifetime.
Honey...
I thought that would change if I worked at it.
After all, people do change.
I'd wake up to your back to me, and it would look like a tall wall.
And each time I'd be madly jealous of a woman I know nothing about.
You can't even imagine...
how you ripped my pride to shreds.
Na-kyeong.
And just when I thought the finish line was near...
and I was so proud of myself...
I found out you had another woman.
I didn't have the courage to leave you.
Nor the generosity to forgive you.
So...
Why didn't you just tell me?
I have my womanly pride.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
Hello, this is the Children's Home of Love.
Hello?
Um, may I speak with the headmistress?
She's not in right now. She went to the hospital.
The hospital?
A child who came recently got into a car accident and went to the ER.
Was... was it... by any chance...
a little boy... who just joined you... who got into the accident?
Yes, that's right. Can I ask who's calling?
Taxi!
What... What happened? How did it happen?
- What are you...? - I mean...
my grandson, Bi-an, is he alright? He's not dead, is he?
There you are, child.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Calm down. I think you're mistaken.
Bi-an didn't get into an accident.
He didn't? But I heard...
Earlier today, a five-year-old boy came,
but got into an accident when he ran off to find his mother.
Oh, thank heavens.
Thank heavens.
Bi-an, go play over there.
Mrs. Na.
He's my grandson.
The very child...
I abandoned with these two hands.
