- How dare you. - M-mother...
You're quite the liar, aren't you?
Hyeong-woo's never lied to me his entire life.
I know.
Yet you taught him to lie to my face?
You should've told me from the start that you didn't want a child!
I'm sorry.
If you plan to divorce him someday just get it overwith now.
Mother.
A married woman who refuses to have a child
is planning to leave someday, no?
No, that's not it at all.
Then?
You don't think someone like Hyeong-woo deserves to be a father?
That thought never crossed my mind.
Then what is it?
Seems the answer's already out.
A child will only tie her down.
What's on your mind?
Mom, you made Eun-young sad.
You are being mean.
Eun-young is sad.
Go to your room.
Hyeong-woo.
Apologize at once.
I'm sorry, mom.
Get out.
Now.
Hyeong-woo.
Don't ever say that to your mother again.
She made you sad.
No, she didn't make me sad.
Promise me that you won't say that to her again.
I will not say that to her again.
Good. Sleep tight.
Wow, am I dreaming?
Ah, thank you.
Huh? What's with all the peaches?
Peaches?
Ugh, seriously! There goes my great dream.
Sheesh!
Peaches represent good luck and fortune.
Alright!
Finally, a silver lining to my life.
Bi-an! Finally things will work out in my life!
A better life!
Wow, this is great.
Hong-jin.
Huh? Yes, sir.
You like Bi-an a lot?
Heck yeah. He's a pretty little thing.
Hello, Na-kyeong. I heard. Congratulations.
You should be congratulating Jeong-woo.
Will you pass on my congratulations?
Sure, will do.
So, you already interested in having your first child?
That's not for me to decide.
She's making you, right?
Your silence speaks volumes.
Don't stress yourself out. You barely just got married.
Yes, thank you. Bye.
Your girlfriend says congratulations.
Friend who is a girl.
Don't call her that. It's weird.
Fine. Eun-young says congratulations.
And I think we'll be seeing a nephew soon.
- Come again? - Why so shocked?
Is Eun-young pregnant?
Not yet. Hyeong-woo's mother is pushing for it.
Eun-young can't beat her. A child is inevitable.
So... we have something to discuss.
Bi-an, go play in the room, okay?
Good boy. Come sit.
Why? We gotta go to work.
- Sit already. - Dad, what's this about?
I was hoping our family...
could adopt Bi-an.
What?
Ho-gu.
Hong-jin, you said you like Bi-an a lot.
Sure thing. Sure, I do.
If you consent, I'd like to add him to the family register as your son.
Dad.
You going senile? Enough already!
Hush. You just have to lend me your name on paper.
We'll do the actual raising.
Just who is Bi-an? Why are you doing all this for him?
This is absolute nonsense. Ignore it as rubbish.
Hong-jin, I'd like you to seriously consider this.
This is crazy. We don't even have our own kid yet.
But we'll need money to raise him, and I don't even have a real job yet.
And then there's... well, the thing is...
Dad, this is complete and utter...
- Bo-young? - Sweetums? You okay?
I can't believe you.
- Do you need something? - Heat up Eun-young's tonic.
- I'll heat it and take it up to her. - No, I'll take it up.
Yes, ma'am.
The look on Manager Han's face was priceless.
- This is just the beginning. - That it is.
The Dodo representative will be here in a few days to sign the contract.
The company will be in your hands, to mold as you wish.
Prepare yourself for very busy days ahead.
I was ready for that a long time ago.
Things have been too laidback these days.
I'll fix that right up for you.
- Go back to work. - Yes, sir.
I think we'll be seeing a nephew soon.
Hello?
Anyone there?
I won't allow a child.
That's none of your business.
If our baby had lived, Hyeong-woo would be his uncle.
Catch my drift?
No, not a clue.
Eun-young, you..!
Goodbye then.
Mother.
Who was that?
No one important.
I'll bring you your tonic from now on.
Mother...
What is it? You're gonna refuse to drink it?
I'm not refusing it. I'm tell you we don't need it.
The truth is, we've been more like brother and sister since we got married.
What do you mean, brother and sister..?
Then you two... have yet to...?
That's right.
Let me ask you one thing.
Is Hyeong-woo the reason?
Him being majorly dense can be compensated through money.
A child will only tie her down.
- Yes, sir? - Um...
Remember that guy who came by? Ju Hong-jin?
Yes, sir.
- Bring me his resume. - Yes, sir.
Come in.
Dinner and a show with my daughter-in-law.
It's been a while.
I've been neglecting you, haven't I? I promise we'll go out more often.
Isn't it a little early?
We should dine before the show. And have some good coffee, too.
That's a great idea. Let's go!
Let's.
I hurt my arm while washing my hair. It's in a cast, too.
This is all your fault. I'm holding you responsible.
- C'mon, let's get a-moving. - Um, mother...
What's wrong? Is there an emergency?
Mother, the thing is...
What is it?
Could you go ahead and start dinner without me?
Come again?
- Have to stop by somewhere. - Where?
Um, I'll tell you later. I'll pick you up from dinner.
- I'm so sorry, mother. - Hey, Na-kyeong!
What the..?
What's with her?
What the hell happened?
Man, it hurts.
Idiot. Why are you so clumsy? Did you fracture it?
Ow, my arm. Don't touch.
- What do you want me to do? - Hold on.
Help me get the sling off.
- Take it off? - Ow, gently.
Careful, careful. C'mon.
You okay?
You...!
Na-kyeong.
I missed you. I'm sure you missed me, too.
You were so upset because you were jealous.
You couldn't stand to see me with another woman.
Am I wrong?
You're right. I was jealous.
I never even imagined you with another woman before.
Ridiculous, isn't it?
I couldn't believe how ridiculous I was being.
I needed some time.
To get used to the idea that you can love someone else.
And the thought of you leaving me made me feel like I was being wronged.
I needed time to calm myself.
What does that make me?
My emotions mean nothing to you?
I have feelings, too.
I want to be with the woman I love. I want to hug her.
I don't want to share her. I want her all for myself.
Min-je. Don't do this. What's with you, all of a sudden?
It's not all of a sudden.
I was always first, even ahead of your husband.
Min-je!
No, you never came before my husband...
Please!
Just once...
Be honest to yourself.
Being sick has put strange thoughts in your head.
Get some rest.
I'm going to be late meeting my mother-in-law.
I'll call you later.
Hyeong-woo.
Do you like being married?
Yes, I like it very much.
What do you like about it?
Everything.
Hyeong-woo.
You don't like Eun-young sleeping on the bed with you?
Mom, the bed is Hyeong-woo's.
No, it's not.
You guys are married now.
Um...
A bad husband sleeps comfortably in the bed while his wife sleeps on the floor.
In other words...
Never mind.
Go back to your book.
- Bo-young, I can't really talk... - I'll be quick.
How could you?
I know you're married now and all, but how can you forget mom's birthday?
Oh my gosh, it's her birthday today, isn't it?
I knew you forgot.
This is a very bad habit among married women.
They change so much after getting married.
- Where's mom? - At the sauna.
We're gonna throw her a surprise birthday party later.
Will it be hard to come?
Maybe. I'll ask.
Bye.
Mother.
Can I go out real quick?
Why? Is something up?
It's my mother's birthday.
It's her birthday? Why are you telling me this now?
I completely forgot.
What to do? What a mistake to make.
She works during the day so I can't go now.
But my sister has something planned so I'll just join them for dinner.
- Dinner at home? - Yes.
Alright. Go get Hyeong-woo ready.
I'll take care of everything else.
Hyeong-woo can go, too?
Of course. He mustn't miss his mother-in-law's birthday.
Go and get ready.
Thank you so much, mother.
Find a good personal chef and by a decent birthday gift.
It's for Eun-young's mother. Alright, bye.
Mom, we're heading home first.
We're busy here. Can't one of you stay behind?
But we have free movie tickets. Can't go watch a movie alone.
- Bi-an, let's go. - C'mon.
Are you sure it's a movie he can watch?
It's a good, clean family movie.
Buy him something good to eat.
We will. You don't have anything planned for the evening, do you?
Like I ever have any plans. Go on then and take good care of him.
- We're off. - Don't worry. Bye!
Kids. Who needs 'em?
Silly of me to expect something for my birthday.
Welcome, come on in.
Wow, something smells fantastic!
That's probably sis in the kitchen.
Welcome home.
Eun-young, what's going on?
My mother-in-law's doing.
What a generous lady she is.
- C'mon, let's sit. - Sit, sit.
Hi, Hyeong-woo.
- Hello, Bo-young. - That's right.
We meet again, bro.
- I am not "bro"... - I know. It's Kang Hyeong-woo.
Hi, Bi-an. How have you been?
Are you mad at me?
Why didn't you come up last time?
Huh? Ah, last time. I made you wait, didn't I?
I had to leave suddenly. I'm really sorry.
This is my husband. Say hello.
Hello.
The food's ready. Let's clean up.
- After we get changed. - Sure.
Hyeong-woo, can you watch TV with Bi-an while I help clean the house?
- Sure. - Great.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hey.
Stop by the house later if you're free. I have something to say.
- Today? - Yeah. Are you busy?
No. I'll be there.
Alright, see you later.
Welcome.
You're here again. Can't find a spa near your house?
I came to discuss something with you.
- Shoot. - You wanna talk here?
There's so much people here..
I can't leave the counter unmanned. Let's talk here.
You'd better fix that tone of yours if you want to keep your customers.
You here to criticize the way I talk?
Not really. I'm here to offer my services to you.
I know sis lent you this place but who knows what you might do with it...
What are you babbling about?
Don't misunderstand. I wasn't implying that you'll do anything dishonest...
What do you think you're doing?
- Cleaning, as you can see. - Where are you shoving that dirty thing?
- Get away! Get! - Honey, stop that.
Hello.
You just made a very big mistake.
I'm really sorry. Are you hurt?
Still got something left to say?
Nope. I was just leaving.
Goodbye then.
Good riddance.
What's with you?
I dunno.
Whatcha doing?
What's all this?
Oh that? Papers for legal guardianship.
For Bi-an?
This is the tip of the iceberg.
Dad nearly convinced Hong-jin to adopt Bi-an...
Oh no, they told me not to tell you.
What are you talking about? I'm not following.
It's just as I said. Dad said he'll raise Bi-an.
And he told us to add Bi-an to our family register.
Did his father's surgery go badly?
That's a lie mom came up with.
What?
Turns out he's not Hong-jin's friend's son.
Now dad wants to adopt him while mom refuses.
Things are a little kooky around here.
Then who exactly is Bi-an?
I have no idea. They won't say.
- I'm here. - Come in.
- Finished for the day? - Yes.
Try to end your workday early.
It's just hard on your employees if you keep working late.
I'll keep that in mind. What did you want to talk about?
What is it?
I have a favor to ask.
Since you're the only male other than Hyeong-woo, only you can help.
Sure. What is it?
I need you...
To make a man out of Hyeong-woo.
Seems they're not home yet.
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday, mom!
Happy birthday!
What brings you here?
Are you mad that I forgot your birthday?
Mom, check out the food.
Hyeong-woo's mother hired some personal chefs.
When did I ask for all this?
Mom..?
It's insulting when she flaunts her money like this.
- Honey... - You were there earlier.
Letting us manage the sauna then sending that woman to spy on us.
I don't need all this. Leave.
Mom...
Your mother-in-law may have bought this apartment, but it's no longer your home.
Call ahead if you want to come.
I'm sorry, Hyeong-woo. Go home.
What's with you, mom? We did this all for your birthday.
I don't need it. Just leave me alone.
Sis, maybe you should just leave for now.
Alright, we're leaving. Don't be angry anymore.
Let's go, Hyeong-woo.
Bi-an.
Leave now! Get out!
Honey...
What are you doing?
Isn't it obvious? I'm sending Bi-an back to the children's home.
Have you lost it? That's nonsense!
Why is it nonsense? This is his lot in life.
- Calm down, will ya? - Let go! Let go of me!
She keeps seeing him and she'll find out.
I can't let that happen!
- Let go, I tell you! - Mom?
What can't you let me find out?
