What are you doing?
Shin-woo, what time is it...?
Let me get this straight.
You're married but haven't consummated yet?
Keeping things clean for when you leave, is that it?
Don't misunderstand. It's not an easy situation to explain...
Oh, no need to explain to me. Go back to sleep.
You gonna be okay after pulling an all-nighter?
Yeah, this is my way of resting.
Not gonna show me your face when I didn't get to see it all night?
Sorry about that.
I met with Eun-young yesterday.
Did you? What did she say?
That she's sorry.
The thought of that guy gets me mad.
You don't still keep in contact with that friend, do you?
I don't.
Don't meet him at all.
It'll be too hard on Eun-young if she were to run into him again.
I won't meet him.
It's kind of interesting, though.
You and Eun-young used to be on real close terms.
It's hard to imagine.
It's so long ago I hardly remember.
I'm hungry.
Breakfast is ready. Come on out.
Here, Bi-an.
- Eat up. - Gosh, how unlike you, dad.
I know. And your mom, too.
Like Bi-an's a child born in their late years.
I know, right?
Your father had too much to drink one night?
Get out if you're not gonna eat.
You done eating?
Don't force yourself if you're full. Go watch cartoons.
I'll make snacks for you later. My precious baby.
Why are you kicking him out during breakfast?
He didn't want to eat.
Mom, when's Bi-an leaving?
He's not going anywhere. His father's sick, remember?
I thought he wasn't really sick!
What's that?
I'll just finish this for your father...
What's wrong with you?
You trying to tell the kids something's up?
I didn't do nothin'.
You might as well say, My grandson, where have you been?"
You watch yourself.
If those two know, the whole world knows. Eun-young will find out in no time.
Please be careful.
Just act like you used to, please.
Baby, you need something?
Let's go, let's go.
So when's my nephew gonna come around?
Stop your nonsense.
Why? Married couples have children, don't they?
What do you think, Hyeong-woo?
Your child.
I'm sure it'll happen naturally.
Naturally, you say?
Gonna eat or not?
Truthfully, don't you want a grandchild?
What's your problem, Shin-woo?
Who knows if a child might be what this house needs.
Go get married if you want a kid that badly.
Ma'am, Mr. Ahn is here.
- Tell him to wait in the study. - Yes, ma'am.
So the board of directors' meeting has been called?
It has.
Even the trustees who had stayed neutral have crossed over to Manager Han's side.
Will you just sit back and watch?
And if I don't?
Dismissed or triumphant, it all depends on his capabilities.
They're calling it a board meeting, but it's basically for President Kang's dismissal.
He can't withstand it alone.
Forget already?
Jeong-woo...
Is the chairman's son.
If he's anything like his father, he'll gnaw off a leg to survive.
And too bad if he doesn't.
Look at you, people will think you two are a loving couple.
Gee, I'm jealous.
I'll take that as a compliment.
- Let's go, Hyeong-woo. - Okay.
People will think we are a loving couple.
Let them think it. It's true.
Yes, we are a couple.
You're absolutely right.
The dog looks dangerous.
You scared of dogs?
People will think we are a loving couple.
How much do the fish cost?
They're 80 cents a piece.
- One moment, please. - Take your time.
Ten dollars.
How many do you want?
Eight, please.
Gee, I'm not sure how much change I'm supposed to give back to you.
Six... six... 80 cents a piece... Times two is $1.60...
Total $6.40.
Yay!
Here's your change. $3.60.
That was excellent. You did well.
Two stickers for you because you did exceptionally well today.
Two stickers for me today.
What is it?
What's your opinion on the topic I brought up earlier?
What topic?
A grandchild for you. A son for Hyeong-woo.
That's none of your concern. They haven't been married long.
Some couples get busy from the get-go.
- That bored, huh? - She already ran away once.
If you want her to stay with him, you gotta shackle her with a baby.
She doesn't need a shackle. So don't you worry.
I advise you not to ignore me this time.
If she has a baby, she'll probably pay more attention to it than Hyeong-woo.
Then you won't have to pine away.
- Kang Shin-woo! - Just kiddin'.
Anyway, hope to see a tyke running around soon.
- Welcome home. - Are you heading out?
To the office. Did you have fun, Hyeong-woo?
I'm back. I had loads of fun.
What a lovely couple you two are. Always holding hands, aren't ya?
- I'm off then. - Goodbye.
- What is it? - Sir, Kenta is on the line.
Put him through.
Hello, Kenta. Your call came much sooner than expected.
That's because the proposal didn't have much to offer.
Excuse me?
President Kang, it's all good and fine to be young and ambitious.
But the key in business is the touch of realism.
Is 10% of the sales profit not enough for you?
Trying to strike a deal by taking advantage of Dodo's economic hardship?
With that lacking business plan of yours?
Don't be so stubborn.
This deal could free up Dodo's tied up resources.
Please edit your proposal to be more realistic.
- Goodbye. - Kenta...
Hello? Hello!
Come in.
You need to come out now.
What is it?
The chairwoman met with the senior executives already.
She's checking on the stores.
- What? - Only we didn't know.
Busy much?
I just heard you came. What brings you here?
Oh no, continue on with your business. I don't want to bother such a busy person.
What is all this? Huh?
Ju-young's a little sick. I'm packing some food for her.
Meet your friend a little later. Right now we have to go to Hyeong-woo's.
- To Hyeong-woo's? - I don't like what I'm hearing.
And Jeong-woo seems a little off, too.
Don't believe all the rumors you hear.
Stop acting me like a child. You coming with me or not?
How about you go on first? I'll drop this off and go straight there.
Fine. After all she's the doctor helping out with your pregnancy.
Don't take too long, okay?
I won't.
Stop drawing on my leg, kid. It's embarrassing.
If you don't like it, get better already.
You've got guts bringing me these pictures.
I had a helluva time taking them for you.
What are these for?
Gonna make a calendar and hang it in your room?
You...
There goes my plan to take time off. This is totally motivating me to get better.
- Get me my medicine. - What did you say?
You know how much trouble it was to take those pictures?
- Screw this! - Hey, hey! Hold on!
- I'm an invalid here. - Screw that.
Hey...! Hold on.
I didn't know you had a guest over. Sorry for barging in.
- She's just... - Hello, I'm Kim Yeon-su.
And... who are you...?
Just a friend who brought over some food.
Na-kyeong, you...
Take care of yourself. Bye.
Na-kyeong, wait!
Who was that?
Ha... oh geez.
Thank you for last time.
Don't mention it. Why did you want to meet?
Did something happen to Hyeong-woo?
He's fine. I was just in the neighborhood.
I wanted to ask you something.
Go ahead.
Am I expecting too much...
if I desire a grandchild?
That's natural.
I already told you, he has no physical problems.
That's not what I'm asking.
I'm asking if his child will be a normal child.
You don't have to worry since we know the cause of Hyeong-woo's problem.
And the responsibility of a child may have a good effect on Hyeong-woo's stability.
She'll probably pay more attention to it than Hyeong-woo...
Let's stop by an herbal medicine clinic before going home.
Yes, ma'am.
- Welcome home. - Thanks.
- Leave that there and go home. - Yes, ma'am.
You brewed some tonic?
Yes, it's for you and Hyeong-woo.
I don't need it. You should drink it.
Don't say that. It's clearly not the type of tonic she should be drinking.
Say what?
- Get me a glass of water. - Yes, ma'am.
Tonic has the best effect when you're at peace.
Try not to get stressed out and take good care of your body, okay?
Yes, mother.
- You're here... again. - Like I need your permission to come.
- Wh-what's this? - I plumb forgot about it.
- Hello. - Is someone sick?
All that baby talk from Shin-woo must've affected the chairwoman.
What? A baby?
What brings you here?
First things first, you're awful impatient, aren't you?
They haven't been married long.
- What are you babbling about? - A grandchild.
You already want one?
Oh.
Excuse me. I'll go fix a new cup.
Look at that. Talk of a baby gave her quite a shock.
- Is that why you're here? - These days...
I've been hearing some ridiculous rumors.
It's not a rumor?
Are you saying Jeong-woo will be dismissed as president tomorrow?
I didn't say that.
Sis.
You're not really going to abandon him, are you?
It all depends on what he's capable of.
You know of his capabilities just as well as I do.
He's never once failed in anything he did.
He's never been anything but first place.
Business isn't about smarts.
I've seen plenty trust their brains too much and end up losing it all.
Sis... Why are you doing this?
Did you forget that Jeong-woo is your son?
I know he is.
The child you trust the most is pushed out of the nest first.
To strengthen him.
- Go home. - But... but... oh dear!
Sis! But sis...!
Oh dear, oh no! Sis!
This is terrible. What to do?
Oh dear, what is going on?
Goodbye.
- Yes, ma'am? - Remember what I said last time?
Excuse me?
Jeong-woo will be on the chopping block tomorrow at the board meeting.
Come again?
So you haven't heard yet.
Yes, I had no idea.
I called just in case.
Tell your father that I hope he stays quiet this time.
Understand?
Yes, ma'am.
What is it?
Um... mother?
What's going to happen to Jeong-woo?
You interested in business?
No, not at all.
Then it's none of your business. It's a company matter.
I understand.
Is that all?
No, um...
Are you waiting for a grandchild?
You think it's too soon?
Not interested in having a baby?
Not for the time being. I was hoping to take it slow.
Dr. Han says a child will be good for Hyeong-woo.
No matter how lacking, a parent can recognize his child.
It'll build Hyeong-woo's sense of responsibility.
That's true, but we haven't been married very long.
- And... - I know what you're thinking.
Excuse me?
Anxious about having and raising a child with a husband like him, right?
You don't need to worry.
Our family has plenty of money and I'm able to take care of you.
Please, Eun-young.
Have a baby.
If you can't raise it, I'll take care of everything.
- Okay? - But...
Mother...
What are we going to do?
Are you okay?
This is the end of things. The end of Jeong-woo's run as president.
She gave the position to him far too easily in the beginning.
- Please calm down. - I just...
Na-kyeong, why are you here at home?
I'm sorry, but I had a headache.
You should've come even if you were dying.
Do you realize your husband is about to lose his position as president?
Nothing's been decided yet.
You're right. Your father can help.
Um, Na-kyeong?
Could you ask your father to make a small trip out here?
- About that, mother... - What is it?
You already called him?
Yes, and he's on a business trip to Europe.
You can still call him.
I tried earlier but didn't reach him. I'll try again later.
Oh no, my poor son. My poor Jeong-woo. Poor, poor Jeong-woo.
Man, it's freezing!
Sweetums, the DVD we've been waiting for is finally out!
- Oh, for real? Let's watch it! - It's ready for viewing!
- Daddy... - We're watching TV. No movie.
Sir, this is a highly acclaimed movie. The kind that stays with you for years.
Bi-an, wanna watch a movie?
Alright!
- Let's see here. - Snacks would go great with the movie.
You just had dinner, you pig.
Bi-an, how does pizza sound?
Okay, order it.
Yay!
Oh no, is that scary? It's okay. Don't be scared.
Turn the TV off!
Can't you see he's scared?
The TV's off. It's okay. Everything's okay.
You're just fine.
- Hey. - Sweetie, you okay?
- What do you mean? - I can't get a hold of my father.
When did I ask you to call him?
No, I just thought...
- I'll take care of everything. - Okay. Good luck.
Come in.
- Mother. - I brought your tonic.
You washed up already?
I do not like tonic. Tonic is bitter.
You have to take it.
Eun-young is taking it, too. You can take it together.
Just leave it with me. I'll persuade him to take it.
Will you? But be careful.
He dislikes it so much he'll throw away half if he gets the chance.
Yes, mother. Good night.
You, too.
You really don't want to drink it?
Yes.
Hyeong-woo, do you know what a white lie is?
- Lying is bad. - Yes, it is bad.
But sometimes there are good lies, too.
- Where's mother? - In her room.
- I'm here. - At this late hour?
I have something urgent to report.
Follow me to the study.
Well, what is it?
Please postpone the board meeting until next week.
You came to ask that of me?
I did.
You're too late.
I may be chairwoman, but I can't stop a meeting on such short notice.
Just how much do you trust Manager Han?
I assume you didn't come empty-handed.
Show me.
What did you find out about Manager Han?
Tell me already.
He's a very cautious person.
He's been having an affair with his secretary for years and no one knew.
He'll try to crush you someday.
I've always known him to have a clean personal life.
- Where's your evidence? - The thing is...
I'm... still gathering it right now.
I'm not surprised.
If you had the evidence, you'd have dealt directly with him and not with me.
Well, this fish won't bite. I don't care about his personal life.
I don't have the patience to deal with you when you come to me with scraps.
I'm tired. You're dismissed.
Can I ask... just one more thing?
Are you going to support Manager Han?
We'll see.
Goodbye.
Your face tells me you know everything.
I do.
Does it make you happy?
Doesn't feel bad.
It's too early for that.
Nothing's been decided yet.
