Is it so important that you don't even bother to say hello?
Good morning, mother.
Sit.
I'm listening.
Mother.
Why, good morning, Hyeong-woo.
- Hi, Eun-young. - Hyeong-woo!
What happened to your hand?
He spilt hot water on his hand while cooking ramen noodles.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry. I should've cleaned things up.
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault. It's this clumsy boy's fault.
It's a superficial wound.
But he'll have trouble doing things since he hurt his right hand.
- This is terrible. - Didn't you...
have something to say to me?
Later. I'll tell you some other time.
Just tell me now.
No, some other time.
If that's what you want. Can you go help him dress?
Sure, I'll help him. Hyeong-woo, let's go.
All finished.
Did it hurt a lot?
It burned.
You should've been more careful.
Right, you need help putting on lotion now.
Getting stickers will be hard for the time being.
I do not like stickers.
You do? But you said you'd fill the book and make me happy.
I cannot put on lotion.
Cannot eat on my own. Am terrified of people.
Once your hand's healed, you can do those again...
Cannot put on lotion.
Cannot eat on my own. Am terrified of people.
Hyeong-woo, what's wrong? Are you...?
I am hungry.
Let's eat. Wait for me downstairs.
Will you...
please let me go, Hyeong-woo?
Truth is...
there's someone who needs me more than you do.
I am sleepy.
Hello, mom.
- Can you talk? - Yes.
Why do you sound so weak? Did you already tell your mother-in-law?
No, I haven't told her yet.
Good. To repeat your father, think about this carefully.
And Bi-an hasn't stirred once since you left this morning.
I don't think I can take him to the hospital today.
You're not his only family. I'll take him today.
Okay. Bye.
Is Eun-young still talking about divorce?
She only said that because she was frustrated.
Divorce? Never. That'll tarnish our family's reputation.
Since when are you part of our family? Your family name is Ju, not Seo.
Either way, I'm against divorce.
I agree with Hong-jin. Divorce is never the answer.
You guys afraid we'll kick you out if she needs to come back?
Our whole family will end up on the streets, not just us two.
Less talk, more eating.
Huh? Feeling sick again?
That's just disgusting.
Don't hate on him for loving me so much he has male morning sickness.
Pooky bear?
Cold one moment, hot the next.
Just be grateful like me that he's the one with morning sickness and not Bo-young.
Grateful, my butt.
Let me take over. You go ahead and eat.
I'm almost done anyway. I'll eat after he's done.
If you insist. Happy that Eun-young's helping you?
I am.
Taking advantage of his hurt hand, isn't he?
I can't imagine what you'd do without Eun-young around.
Done pining after your son?
Just looks to me like you're completely relinquishing your rights to this woman.
- If you're done, can you go wait upstairs? - You're done, right? Go on.
- Okay. - Okay.
This woman?
Apologize to Eun-young at once.
What's with the tough guy act? I was just joking.
Repeat after me. I'm sorry, Eun-young.
- Mom. - It's fine, really.
I'm sorry, Eun-young.
Say it!
- I'm sorry. - Again.
I'm sorry... Eun-young.
Mother, you said you'd let me take care of it.
I thought that was for the best, but I can't let it slide anymore.
I won't let anyone disrespect you. You're my daughter-in-law.
Understand?
I do.
- Hello? - It's me.
- I have something to discuss with you. - I have nothing to hear from you.
Goodbye.
Come in.
What is it?
- Going out? - I have a lunch appointment.
Sit. I have a few minutes to spare.
Okay.
Don't worry about Shin-woo.
She's not an idiot. She knows when to behave.
I'm sure she does.
I'm sorry for not coming home last night.
I was hoping for an explanation rather than an apology.
Why do you go to your parents' so often?
Is there some kind of problem?
I'm not scolding you here. I just want to help you.
It's about the little boy you saw in the pictures.
The distant relative of yours. Bi-an, right?
Yes, him. He was extremely sick all night.
What about your family? Why didn't they take him to the hospital?
Bi-an grew up in an abusive environment.
His alcoholic father beat him then abandoned him.
And he really likes and trusts me. I couldn't sit and do nothing.
Is that all?
So you pity him, is that it?
I'm asking because that doesn't seem a good enough reason to me.
Eun-young.
I'm sorry to have to ask this, but is this about your dead child?
I thought so. He'd be around Bi-an's age, right?
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
It makes sense now.
I understand.
I'll be back later.
- Where are you going? - To work out.
I'll be eating dinner with Mrs. Hwang. Don't wait for me.
Mother, I've been meaning to tell you...
What is it?
You can't go there anymore.
What?
I gave that membership to a friend.
I'm not following you.
- I'll get you a membership elsewhere. - Hold up a sec.
So you gave my membership away without telling me?
- Is this a bad joke? - I'll sign you up elsewhere.
Oh man, I can't believe this.
- I won't fall for that again. - But mother...
I know you don't respect me but this... you made a huge mistake.
- Feeling any better? - Ugh.
I think I am for now. I feel fine most of the time.
But then it'll hit me and I feel like I'm dying.
That, my boy, is morning sickness.
- This is not funny. - Drink this.
It'll help settle your stomach.
You're the only one who cares for me.
Hong-jin, I have to go to the sauna.
Can you take Bi-an to the hospital?
I'm sick here.
Morning sickness only gets worse if you lie around.
It's cold and you're the only one who can drive. Please.
Th-thirty bucks!
That went back where it came from. Then, off I go.
I don't know what to say. Na-kyeong insisted I switch.
Na-kyeong insisted that I switch to a different center.
Of course I know you changed gyms because of me.
Look, I'm really sorry. Next time, I'll treat you... Huh?
What a temper.
What is it? I'm tired.
At least have dinner with your friend. I'll reserve a nice restaurant.
- What friend? - Well, there's Mrs. Hwang...
Thanks to my smart daughter-in-law I'm now unreliable.
She doesn't want to be my friend anymore.
Leave me.
- Then how about we go to dinner... - Na-kyeong.
Didn't you hear me say I was tired?
Then get some rest.
Huh. This is so unbelievable.
Min-je, I need you in times like these.
Excuse me for a sec.
- What do you want? - Payment for my little modeling gig.
A creative pick-up line, I must say.
But you're not my type.
That's unfortunate.
What the hell?
How about a little bet? I'll bet that you took my picture.
200 dollars.
Afraid you'll lose?
Not so fast.
I don't really carry around cash. It's too heavy.
Go ahead. Take a look.
You into weird hobbies?
That's my personal business, isn't it?
I'll spend this well.
Here we are. Into the car we go.
Whew.
Bi-an, how's this? Starting tomorrow, we'll work out together.
Can't call yourself a man if you need the hospital's help to get over a few punches.
Fighting isn't about strength. It's all about the attitude.
Someone wants to start something? Then you glare at them like this.
Focus your energy on your eyes. Really glare at them and you say...
What's your problem!
Then you spit at him. You follow?
Look at me. Feel the terror, don't ya?
Nope.
No terror?
Huh? Hey, Eun-young.
I heard you took Bi-an to the hospital.
That I did.
He likes me so much he never wants to be apart.
Thank you. What did the doctor say?
He should get some rest today and he'll be fine by tomorrow.
Sure, hold on.
Bi-an, it's for you.
Hi, Bi-an.
Hello.
The hospital visit was a little rough, wasn't it?
Lady...
- Bi-an, you there? - Lady...
I miss you.
I miss you, too.
- It's me again, Eun-young. - Hong-jin, can I ask a favor?
Sure, go ahead.
- Thank you so much. - No prob. It was on the way.
Bi-an, come here. That's my good boy.
How are you? You feeling better?
Yes.
I was so worried about you.
Let me take a look at you.
Uh... Eun-young? Your mother-in-law's here.
- Mother... - H-hello...
Hello, Chairwoman!
They stopped by to drop something off.
Hong-jin, you should get going.
- Are you Bi-an? - Yes. Hello.
Hi. You're cuter in person.
Do come in for some tea.
How... about it?
No, no, maybe next time. Hong-jin's busy right now.
That isn't good manners. Bring them in.
Let's go in. Come with me.
Right in here.
- Welcome home. - Thanks.
Hyeong-woo, look who's here.
- It is Bi-an. - Hello, mister.
Hi, it's been a while.
Hello.
- Welcome home. - Thanks.
Who's the kid?
A special guest.
Make a snack for the boy and prepare some fruit for us.
Yes, ma'am.
- Have a seat. - Thank you.
So, you're working these days?
Yes. As a part of Dream In...
Dream... What I mean to say is I'm working towards a dream of mine.
Oh!
Excuse me. Hello?
Your name is Bi-an?
How old?
Six... no, seven years old.
Yes, sir. Bye.
Um, Eun-young. I have to hurry back to work.
Can't be helped. Bi-an, stand up.
Um...
Hyeong-woo, Bi-an has to leave now.
I think he wants to play with Bi-an.
Go on if you're in a hurry. My secretary will take him home later.
Yeah, the thing is my mother-in-law won't be so happy about this.
Give her a call and tell her we'll take good care of him.
Okay.
- Hong-jin, you can go. - Um, okay.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Hyeong-woo, you like Bi-an?
We saw fish together.
So you did. Smart boy.
Take him upstairs with you.
Bi-an, go upstairs with Hyeong-woo. I'll be right up.
Off you two go.
Dr. Han did say a child would be good for Hyeong-woo.
Now I understand why.
Leave that to the employees.
The part-timers think you're our custodian.
That's all right with me.
Good for you. Where's Hong-jin?
I did. He isn't answering.
- Hello? - Mom, it's me.
Bi-an went to the hospital with Hong-jin...
Why's he with you? You out of your mind?
How could you take him there?
I don't want to hear it! Bring him here now!
Never mind. I'll go pick him up.
You're not going anywhere.
But Bi-an's at that house.
So what?
You think Eun-young told them, This is my son"?
Don't make things weird for Eun-young. Just stay put.
Can't trust that Hong-jin to do anything right.
So you're screening my calls, are you? Well, I'm at Dream In.
Maybe I'll run into your husband if I'm lucky.
You drew all this?
Yup.
Bi-an.
- Lady! - Hey.
What are you looking at?
The drawings look so real.
They do, don't they? He's good at loads of things.
Mister, you're so cool.
- Oh, mother. - Having fun?
I guess you're not shy around new people.
Bi-an says Hyeong-woo is cool.
Bi-an, you think Hyeong-woo is cool?
What a cutie.
He is.
Very adorable.
Hello, you must be the Dream In president.
I am. Do I know you?
I've known Na-kyeong since before your marriage.
I've recently met your mother, too, at a fitness center.
Ah, yes. I think they mentioned you.
Did they?
I'm a longtime VIP member of this department store.
The quality's really changed since you became president.
You've got good taste, being young and all.
Thank you.
So...
let me ask...
How well do you know your wife?
I don't quite follow.
You want to know how well I know my wife?
I want to know which floor he's on. Can't you ask around...?
What a coincidence. We meet again.
Honey.
I've told you about this lady, right? My father's acquaintance.
You did.
You look busy.
Come with me and we'll have dinner. We shouldn't bother my busy husband.
Seems I've held onto a busy man for too long.
- See you again soon. - Goodbye.
I'll see you at home. Come with me.
Sir.
You memorized that woman's face, right?
I did, sir.
Get me a list of all the VIP members.
Yes, sir.
What happened to ignoring me? Guess I finally pushed a button.
Aren't you taking this too far?
After what your son did to me?
Well, you shouldn't have tried to test your power against mine.
And all along I thought you were quite smart.
So... you plan on making me wait longer?
My father will give you a call tomorrow.
Thank you. Now I can breathe easy.
I knew I should've kept you as my daughter-in-law.
You wish. The short time I spent with your family...
was the most shameful time of my life.
I'll apologize on my son's behalf.
I'll be waiting for your father's call.
Bi-an, come visit us again, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I had some snacks packed up for him. He seemed to like them.
Thank you.
Hyeong-woo, time to say goodbye.
No tagging along for you. Not with that hand.
Bye.
Goodbye.
- I'll be back soon. - Drive safely.
- Look at him sulk. - The house is brighter with a child here.
I hope Hyeong-woo has a baby soon.
Bring me some tea.
Yes, ma'am.
Come in.
So, who is she?
I did...
Go on, tell me.
Jeong-woo...
Do you love your wife?
What kind of question is that?
The thing is... man, this is hard to say.
- Hyeon-woo. - Yes?
Tell me.
What's the big secret?
