How...?
You brought him back?
Take him back now!
Mom.
Bi-an, that's a good boy. Go play in the room, okay?
Do as she says. Go play inside, okay?
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Calm down.
We'll talk inside.
I've always been the bad cop and you've always been the good cop.
- It's too late to keep them apart. - It's not too late!
- He's a child that never existed. - But he does exist.
I just never knew.
So go living like you never found out.
Keep bringing him back and I'll take him back every time.
That's enough. That's the line. Don't cross it anymore.
Okay, mom.
I'll do whatever you say.
As long as you keep him with you.
Fine. Then I want it in writing.
Want what in writing?
We'll raise Bi-an here.
But you're never to acknowledge it. Don't even show interest.
That's impossible.
Can't do it? Tell me now.
I threw him away once. I can do it again.
I'll do it.
Just let me take him to the hospital until he's completely healed.
I'll give you that.
He'll get better soon with a little stability in his life.
Just until he's better.
Okay.
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll get him the best education. Even send him abroad if he wants.
Your father and I will do all that we can, all the things we couldn't do for you.
Okay?
Okay.
- Mother, what's this? - How would I know...
You found it?
An explanation, please.
Well, it's the new year and all. It's a charm for good luck and success.
Mother.
The bedroom is Jeong-woo and my space. I don't like anyone invading our space.
Did I hear you right?
Am I the bad guy? Your enemy? What do you mean by "invade"?
- Mother... - I didn't go in to play around.
All I did was stick a charm in your pillow. Must you make me out to be a fool?
It isn't that simple.
Whatever. You don't like charms? Then get pregnant on your own.
Hyeong-woo and his wife are already talking about babies.
You guys are in your 6th year. My patience is wearing thin.
- I have something to tell you. - Go ahead.
Mother...
My chances... of getting pregnant are slim to none.
Come again? Wh-what did you say?
I'm infertile.
But you said... there was nothing wrong.
Did you lie to us?
I did lie to you.
But Jeong-woo and Hyeong-woo's mother knew from the start.
You're saying...
Only I was out of the loop?
I don't know what to say.
Wait... I...
This is a very bad joke, isn't it?
I'm dead serious. I can't give you any grandchildren.
Oh dear...
- Mother... - Don't touch me!
Oh Lord...
Oh God! Oh merciful God!
Oh God, why? Why?
Hyeong-woo, what are you doing out here?
It is dark. The husband must protect his wife.
Hyeong-woo.
Let's go inside. It's freezing.
When'd you come home? I didn't hear you come in.
I was in a hurry in the morning so I didn't get a chance to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Not like you stayed out all night. You were in a hurry. It's fine.
- Thank you for understanding. - I'm fine, but...
Hyeong-woo waited outside for 5 hours.
He's no good at thinking beyond what he knows.
He has a one-track mind. You know tihs.
I do.
He stayed in one place with only the thought of waiting for you.
I was worried he'd fall sick.
I couldn't tell him I was leaving because he was asleep.
I'll be careful from now on.
Do try.
So, everything work out okay?
Yes.
You must be tired. Go get some rest.
Then, if you'll excuse me...
Where's mother?
In her room.
Something wrong?
- I'm home, mother. - Oh dear merciful God.
- Mother... - I don't even want to see your face.
I'm sorry.
How'd it feel... teaming up with your wife and lying to my face all these years?
See, this is exactly how I predicted you'd react.
So you knew from the start. Is that true?
I did.
- And sis knew, too? - She did.
I see. So I was the fool in all this?
Sis supported this marriage knowing Na-kyeong was lacking?
Na-kyeong's a good woman. You know that as well as I do.
I won't stand for it.
I have a perfectly healthy son. Why should I be without grandchildren?
- Then shall I get divorced? - Say what?
If you want me to give up the company and my work to get divorced, I will.
Is that your way of blackmailing me?
It's one imperfection.
She can give me everything else, but she just can't give me this one thing.
Please accept her.
Whatever. Get out. I'm not sure I accept you right now.
Stop crying. Don't wanna get wrinkles, do you?
I'll go get changed.
Oh dear merciful God.
Dear God, why?
How's she doing?
She'll carry on for a few days. Bear with her.
I will.
Sorry I spilled the beans like this. I just felt I really had to.
She would've found out someday.
You did the right thing.
- Sweetie? - Yeah.
I need to ask you this.
Are you really okay with not having a child?
There's no need to be so uneasy. I never really liked kids.
Thanks for understanding.
I'm starved. Let's eat.
I put dinner aside because of mother. I'll get right on it.
Sweetums. Sweetie-pie?
I'm really, really sorry. I deserve death, no less.
Sweetums, forgive me. Please, just once. Once is all.
Please, sweetums. Have a heart. Please!
C'mon already!
- Sweetums, I'm begging you! - What the devil's going on?
Sweetums!
It's too late for this racket.
Sir, it was all my mistake. I deserve to die. Figuratively.
Explain what's going on.
See, we went to the hospital today.
So apparently... my thing... came undone...
Idiot. Of course it did.
Sir, please help me just this once.
See, I just got a new job and all. I'm ready to devote my life.
I'll take care of her... just her. I'll make them both super happy.
Okay, but what about the baby?
The baby? You see...
It was never really part of the equation...
Oh geez. First things first. You made a grave mistake about her.
It'll take her a while to forgive you.
I recommend the couch for tonight. Repent silently and in the cold.
But, sir..!
Aw, man.
Did I wear out my throat begging?
Oh! Good morning, sir.
I see you found the place okay.
See, I have a great sense of direction.
- I leave myself in your hands. - I'll do my best to assist you!
There's no set hours for this job. Will that be okay?
Sure. You make for a great alibi.
In other words, I'm here for you night and day.
While I'm at work, tell me beforehand and you can go about your business.
That's just how I like it.
And lastly, I work in the car a lot. I'll need you to cut back on your chatter.
Yes, sir.
Hold on a sec.
Bi-an, phone for you.
Hi, Bi-an. It's me.
Hello.
Hi to you, too. You sleep well last night?
Yes.
Is there anything you'd like to have?
What did she say?
It's okay. You can tell me.
I'll call back later. Think of what you want, okay?
Bye.
You were really cold yesterday, weren't you?
I was very cold.
Don't wait for me like that.
Instead, I'll always tell you what time I'm coming home.
And I'll make it home by that time.
You keep your promises.
I do, so don't just wait. Do other things to spend your time.
Okay.
I am okay on my own.
That's right. Did you have your milk today?
- I did not. - I'll get you some.
Sis. Sis!
Hello.
Where is she?
What's with the racket?
How could you do this to me?
Do explain.
How could you marry Jeong-woo off to that flawed girl?
- What's this all about? - Na-kyeong. My daughter-in-law.
She can't have children!
And you knew from the get-go.
Let's talk inside.
Fine. I've got nothing to lose.
Sis. How could you possibly do this to me?
And what exactly did I do to you?
Why that infertile girl of all people...?
Did she tell you?
She did.
You of all people should know why it had to be her.
Without Chairman Hong, Jeong-woo wouldn't be where he is today.
Even so... I still feel cheated...
Want me to find you a new daughter-in-law that can have kids?
That's so inappropriate.
She's more than worthy to be your daughter-in-law.
Stop being so greedy. And stop stirring up trouble like this.
Really, sis. I did no such thing...
- Hello, Na-kyeong. - Did my mother-in-law go there?
She's here.
Your voice tells me the cat's out of the bag.
Can you meet me later? I need someone to talk to.
I was seriously ill a long time ago.
And because of that I became infertile.
We did try during our years in London, just in case, but to no avail.
Na-kyeong.
Please don't look at me like that.
It wasn't easy, but I got used to the idea that I'll never be a mother.
Jeong-woo accepted that about me. Now I just need mother to do the same.
I'm guessing it won't be easy.
I happen to know someone who got pregnant 11 years into the marriage.
You have no idea.
Hearing tales of such miracles is a real torture.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I'm grateful for your comfort.
I know you're being pressured to have a baby these days, right?
Knowing just what kind of person Hyeong-woo's mom is,
I got quite nervous hearing she bought tonics for you guys.
I guess.
I called you out to lessen your burden. Be glad at least that you're not like me.
Excuse me a sec. It's Jeong-woo.
Hello?
I'm not at home, actually.
Really, that's not necessary.
Thanks. I'll see you later.
- Jeong-woo? - Yeah.
He's worried about mother hounding me. Says he wants to buy me dinner.
So he knew from the start?
He did. I told him before the wedding.
He said it didn't matter.
If it had mattered, we wouldn't have gotten married.
I guess it really was love at first sight.
Truthfully speaking, he doesn't like kids.
- He doesn't? - Yeah.
Says he doesn't want to make sacrifices and change for a child.
At first I thought he was too cold-hearted but it turned out to be a good thing.
He doesn't like kids.
Says he doesn't want to make sacrifices and change for a child.
- Hi, Bi-an. - Hello!
Have a good day so far?
I bought some presents for you. Wanne see?
Here, sit down.
This is a toy for you.
And... these are your clothes.
- Shall we try on your new threads? - Yeah!
Let's see here.
- Hey. - Hi.
- What's all this? - Toys and clothes for Bi-an.
- Why are you home? - Huh?
- I have my reasons. - What is it?
I'll tell you later.
Um... mom told me not to let you in.
Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon.
Bi-an, raise your arms.
Here we go.
It's gotten a lot better.
Yeah.
Let's see. It doesn't hurt anymore?
Doesn't hurt at all.
Bi-an's such a brave little boy.
Over the head. There we go.
Wow, you look so handsome!
- Like it? - Yup.
I've gotta go. I'll be back to see you.
Sis, you should hurry and leave. Before he bursts into tears.
You're right.
Have fun and stay healthy. I'll be back, okay?
Okay.
Geez, you two are acting like this is the end.
Go home already.
I'm going. Make Bi-an something good to eat.
I'll fatten him right up, so you go home to your family.
- I'll see you soon, okay? - Okay.
You did well for your first day.
- Thank you. - I'll go home with my wife after dinner.
- You can go home now. - Yes, sir.
Hey!
Ma'am, your carriage awaits you.
This was the big surprise?
Here... for you.
Wow! Only Seo Bo-young can make calla lilies look ugly.
Sweetums, it's cold. Get in. I made reservations at a fancy place.
Bi-an, everything here on out is going to be R-rated.
Wait for me in the car.
- There, in you go. - Geez.
What do you want to do that's R-rated? And on the street, no less.
Bi-an, cover your eyes. Like this, okay?
Gee, what should I do?
Hey, that hurts!
- You ruined the flowers! - You...!
You bring me lilies again and you'll really get it.
Wait, sweetums...
It's a super fancy restaurant. Let's go, yeah?
Go eat your fancy meal at that fancy restaurant with Bi-an.
Don't even think about coming home!
Sweetums? Sweetums!
Aw, man. It's a really great restaurant...
Bi-an, I told you to cover your eyes. Like this, remember?
Just like this.
Now that mother knows, things will be a little tense around the house.
So this is your way of helping me prep for it?
It won't be easy, but we'll make it through.
Don't worry. I expected so much when I decided to tell her.
Sorry for worrying you...
Can you come back later?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Like I was saying, I'm sorry for the trouble.
You feeling sick?
No, I'm fine.
Hey, it's "Antonio's Song."
Remember how you'd play this song every time I was depressed and moody?
It would cheer me right up.
I don't remember.
So, how's Na-kyeong holding up?
Much better than expected.
I expected so much. She's a fighter, that one.
You introduced the two of them?
I did.
I knew she'd complement him well the moment I laid eyes on her.
There isn't much to love.
Soulmates are people who can make up for each other's weaknesses.
I see.
Sis, I'm back.
Um, I'll get you some water.
You drink?
I did.
Just one glass full.
I really don't understand how you could do this to me?
You know what Jeong-woo means to me.
He's my entire life, and you know it.
Go home. Come back when you're sober.
But I'm too worried to leave.
This could be the end of the chairman's family line.
- What do you mean, the end? - Oh no!
Poor Jeong-woo. What to do about my poor baby?
He'll never have a child of his own.
Ma'am, please calm down and drink this.
Eun-young, I'm in no state to calm down.
- Sis is such a terrifying person... - Stop it this instant!
- Honey? - Yes?
Sweetie, I have to go to the restroom.
Go ahead.
Please leave a message...
Hello, ma'am.
- My mother? - She's here.
Come pick her up yourself. I don't want strangers witnessing this.
I'll be right there.
Sweetie, I think something urgent happened to Ju-young.
She in some kind of trouble?
I'm not sure. I think I have to go now.
Alright, let's go.
- Stay and finish your dinner. - No, I'm done.
Stay. It'll make me feel less bad.
I'm off. I'll see you at home.
Sir!
