Jeong-woo's too busy to even come home to change clothes?
Apparently so. I didn't call him because I didn't want to bother him.
Leaving him alone in times like these isn't what a good wife should do.
Don't worry. He'll pull through like he always has.
This time everything he has accomplished so far is on the line.
Still can't reach your father?
- Yes. - Is he avoiding you intentionally?
Mother.
It just doesn't seem right.
He probably knows exactly what's going on from overseas.
Yet you can't even reach him on the phone.
Jeong-woo doesn't want my father's help.
That says it all.
What about breakfast?
You go ahead and help yourself. I'm going to go help my son.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Hello, father.
No, don't get involved.
He can handle it. And if he can't, that's that.
Don't get on the chairwoman's bad side, please.
Bye.
Seems he was abused by his parents in the past.
Ah, I see.
Is he okay now?
- He shows signs of depression. - Depression?
But he's just a kid.
Depression is actually more common among children than you'd think.
Particularly children like Bi-an who had traumatic experiences.
So how can we help him?
We'll do our part to treat him.
Please make sure he feels safe and stable in the home.
If he shows affection for something or someone, don't restrict their interaction.
The child is looking to it for comfort.
I see.
Good boy.
Go on home with Bi-an.
- You not coming? - I have to stop by somewhere.
Okay. Let's go.
Come in.
Nothing. We've got nothing as of yet.
Alright.
Any news from Japan?
Once two o'clock passed, it won't matter if Kenta changes his mind.
Becoming allies with Dodo is important for Dream In, whether I'm here or not.
What good is that if you're not here to enjoy it?
Come in.
What are you doing here?
Well, you weren't gonna come home any time soon.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Wanna join us for breakfast?
No, thank you. I'll let you two eat.
Come, sit.
You didn't have to. I could've just bought something.
You'll take that back when you see this.
I brought a change of clothes, too. Go to the sauna and freshen up.
Whether you come out on top or not, at least look your very best.
Did I make a mistake?
Not at all.
This is so you.
- Shall we eat? - Yeah.
Here we go.
Here.
- Thank you for today. - It was our pleasure.
Bye. Let's go in.
The kid you saw... he's your son.
I'll raise him well in your place.
So don't you worry. You just live your life well.
- Oh, hello. - Hey.
Hey, there.
Say hello, not hey.
- What did she say? - She doesn't want to see you.
She told me not to let you in.
Things are not going well at all for my Jeong-woo.
Sis, why are you doing this?
You're just gonna let your oldest son die?
Why don't you have a seat? Calm down a bit.
That's right, Eun-young... No, wait, Hyeong-woo!
Please ask your mother not to fire Jeong-woo from his position as president.
Or else this will be the end for your brother.
Will you stop already? You're so loud.
Hyeong-woo may not know better, but you should at least try to help.
This is about your oldest brother..!
Ugh, why do I bother with you?
Oh dear.
I don't want any company right now.
What are you gonna do?
Get out.
I hold no interest for the company or for Jeong-woo's position there.
But I want to tell you this.
Jeong-woo may be that woman's son, but he's also Hyeong-woo and my brother.
I revise. Half-brother.
What's your point?
No real point here. Just take it easier on him.
Get one thing straight.
Hyeong-woo is your only brother.
If you say so.
Sis, how could you do this?
Ma'am!
Don't try to stop me. I'll just die here and rot.
What the hell are you doing?
Isn't it obvious? She's protesting.
If you must leave, it'll be over my dead body.
I refuse to move until you promise to help Jeong-woo.
Please, sis! Please help him.
Mom.
Please help Jeong-woo.
This will be the end of Jeong-woo. Please save him, mom.
See, do you see the brotherly love? He wants to help.
You heard him. It's what your precious son wants.
Eun-young.
Yes, mother.
Fix him his tonic. And no snacks after three.
He'll lose his appetite for dinner.
Yes, mother.
Sis, now isn't the time to worry about Hyeong-woo's snack.
Go home and stay put.
- This won't help Jeong-woo at all. - Sis!
Sis, you can't just leave like this. Sis, wait up!
Please help Jeong-woo.
This is no good.
What's the point in using good water when it's not maintained well?
Welcome!
Welcome to our sauna.
- Um, hello. - Hello.
We have a special gift for beautiful customers like yourselves.
- Here. - Thank you.
You didn't give these out the last time I came.
- How kind of you. - Is that true?
You didn't get it last time?
Next time, look for me, Mr. Ju specifically.
- Sure. - Okay.
Oh, and write down your information here.
You'll get a free visit on your birthday and a massage from me, the owner.
Where's my free gift?
- What are you doing? - Huh?
Here you go.
We'll see you soon.
Please enjoy.
I was wondering why you were hanging around so persistently.
See, sweetums, this is the basics of marketing.
This is all good customer service. Particularly birthday freebies.
Like a free massage and stuff. Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
It's my birthday today!
Wow, congratulations!
Go on then.
We'll treat you to our special two-hour package?
Oh, yay! Let's go!
Wait, you sure it's your birthday?
Still mad at me? I'm bored out of my mind.
Enough of the jealousy or else I'll have to kidnap you.
Where's Jeong-woo?
In his office.
Come in.
Jeong-woo, it's time.
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm off.
We will now being the 26th board of directors' meeting.
The first order of business is the dismissal of President Kang Jeong-woo.
He caused major losses to the company when he acted on his own
and attempted a business venture that eventually failed.
And without the consent of he directors, he took over the right of management.
Therefore the meeting has been called to discuss his loss of credibility.
President Kang's dismissal will be put to a vote.
If you agree with the dismissal, please step outside the meeting room.
Once more, if you agree, momentarily step outside the room.
If I may, I have something to say.
The reason for my proposed dismissal is the failed business venture with Dodo.
- Is that correct? - You ask as if you don't know.
As of today, January 20, 2009,
a business partnership has been established
between Dream in and Dodo Corp., Japan's largest dept. store.
Is that a fact?
There was an interruption in the procedure so let me ask again.
Hold it.
I'm for giving him a second chance, seeing how he won this contract.
This is the final call.
All for President Kang's dismissal, please step outside the meeting room.
The dismissal of President Kang has been rejected.
So, Hyeong-woo, who is this again?
- The other woman! - No, that's no good.
She's Jeong-woo's mother, have more respect.
- More respect. - That's right.
And this person is your sister-in-law.
- She is my sister-in-law. - Good. And...
That's my brother.
You're absolutely right. Your brother.
- That for the couple? - Yup.
I'll take them up.
Here.
What's gotten into her?
Good.
- Your father-in-law. - Father-in-law.
Good. And she is?
- Mother-in-law. - Very good!
Delivery.
Thank you. We'll drink it after our little activity.
You need to drink it while it's hot. Hyeong-woo, time for your tonic.
- Shin-woo. - Yes?
Haven't you been drinking it?
Yes, we didn't drink it. We don't need it just yet.
You know why.
Mom was under the impression you guys are drinking it.
So you got my brother to lie?
Shin-woo, a white lie is okay.
That's a great thing to teach him.
Please don't tell her. I'll tell her myself when the timing's right.
Sure, why not?
We mustn't shy away from crises and challenges.
Business ventures like the one with Dodo Corp. will improve our sales profit.
And I don't doubt that this will prove a stepping stone
for Dream In to become a first-rate department store.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You did well, laying low like I told you.
It was nothing.
I didn't expect you to back down without a fight, but I didn't expect this.
Thank you for helping me.
The directors will see you in a different light now.
It'll be a chance for you to stand without me or your father-in-law.
I will do my best.
Manager Han failed because he was too hasty.
You won't have this kind of luck again.
So be cautious.
I understand.
Go back to work.
Yes, ma'am. Bye.
Ma'am.
I thought I told you to keep an eye on him.
You never noticed things were going well with Dodo?
- I'm sorry, ma'am. - Enough.
He'll think he has a free rein now. I want you to constantly watch him.
You took his side today, ma'am. May I ask why you want to stop him?
For a simple reason.
Things must end here for Jeong-woo.
Another one? Geez, you eat a lot.
So what if I do?
What you're doing isn't eating. It's inhaling.
I''ll live with an bad-tempered girl but not an overweight one.
Can we please eat quietly? I won't live with a noisy son-in-law.
Ah, yes, ma'am.
When is the other lady coming?
So attached to Eun-young when he only saw her a few times.
That's what I'm saying. How strange.
She's not coming tomorrow for your mother's birthday?
I nearly forgot!
How'd you remember that when even sis forgot this year?
You know how I love your mother tons.
Don't tell her to come.
But it's your first birthday after she got married.
Listen good. I'm going on a trip with your father.
Eh? But you never mentioned...
So if she calls, tell her not to come, got it?
Yes, ma'am.
So are they going on a trip... or not?
You think she was indirectly telling us to pay for their trip?
Ya think?
What is that?
Why are you filling this out?
- Give it back. - You crazy?
You want to keep him? Eun-young will see him.
You want to abandon him again?
That's not what I meant. We'll find his father and grandmother...
Then what? You want him to be abused his entire life?
If not, we can find good new parents for him...
Enough. Stop talking nonsense.
Anyway, I'm against. I won't do it.
Don't you dare!
This isn't easy for me either. You saw him ask for Eun-young.
That's the tie that binds them. You think Eun-young won't catch on?
You're overreacting.
He's so deprived of love, he'll like anyone who's nice to him.
Fine, let's assume you're right.
Soon he'll go to school. Gonna add him to the family register?
As your son?
That's an option.
Why don't you just tell her that this is her son?
- Then what do we do? - I dunno.
Just keep in mind that I'm against adopting him.
What now?
- Welcome home. - Thanks.
What happened to Jeong-woo?
What about him?
Guessing from your foul mood, he wasn't kicked out?
Hyeong-woo, have a good day?
Yes, it was a good day, mother.
I told him to call you mother, not mom.
That sounds so unnatural. Call me mom until your first kid.
Okay, mom.
Poor mom, you'll never hear him call you mother.
What do you mean?
Who knows? Not me.
Psh, weirdo.
- I'm going to go change. - Okay.
Oh, Jeong-woo. Congratulations.
Sorry I worried you so much.
I knew you'd pull through.
I wasn't worried at all. I was totally relaxed.
I'm glad to hear that.
- Go get changed. - I will.
- I'll go help him. - Go on, go on.
Lady, is everything ready?
Congratulations.
I have you to thank. Thank you for breakfast this morning.
- You mean that? - Of course.
Father called to offer his congratulations. He was proud you did it on your own.
Oh, is that so?
You're not upset with him, are you?
Not at all.
I know he means well.
Thanks for understanding.
To Jeong-woo's continuous climb to the top.
You'll be busy again starting tomorrow, right?
Probably.
Don't forget that work isn't your first priority.
Let's talk about something else.
You shouldn't be so nonchalant.
I forgot to mention this but Hyeong-woo and his wife
are taking some tonic to get pregnant.
No way.
I'm serious. I saw the tonic that sis bought for them.
Eun-young's probably feeling pressured.
The question is, whose idea was it? Sis or Eun-young's?
I'm a little worried your friend isn't helping you guys much.
- I can find someone else... - No, thank you.
She's a capable doctor.
If you say so. She's your friend after all.
Done eating already?
I must be tired. The alcohol is making me woozy.
Understandably so. You stayed up for so many nights.
- Go get some rest. - Thank you.
A child with Hyeong-woo?
That's ridiculous.
- Have some fruit. - Thanks.
Hyeong-woo drink his tonic today?
- No. - Yup.
Wait, did he drink it or not?
Not yet. He must be thinking about the one he drank during the day.
Help yourself.
The tonic is good.
It's good? Not bitter?
Bro, that's what we call a white lie, right?
Right. White lies are okay. They are not bad.
Is that so?
Well, I'm glad to hear it's good.
He hates tonics but he's drinking it, thanks to you.
I guess.
I can't listen to this anymore. I'm going to my room.
You two go on up, too. And don't forget his tonic later.
Yes, mother.
Hyeong-woo, let's go.
