I'll make sure you're never lonely again.
I lied to you from the start. Don't wait for me.
Jeong-woo!
Previously on 'White Lies'...
It's your fault! It's your fault the chairman is dead!
- Shouldn't you find Jeong-woo first? - Do you know where he is?
You killed my father!
- I'm married, Eun-young. - Say that again.
Will you be my secret mistress?
Please, have a seat.
How dare you.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
We'll never be family.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
Your home is being foreclosed.
Mom!
Kang Jeong-woo died... five years ago.
- I'm getting married. - The groom's brother is not here yet.
For... for their blessed future.
Who's Bi-an?
- Bi-an... - Go home!
I'm sending him back. With him here, she'll find out in no time!
- When's your birthday? - December 1st.
- How old are you? - Six... no, seven years old.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
- Someone'll see us! - We'll crash and burn together.
Kang Jeong-woo!
- You know where she lives? - I've heard it in passing.
Eun-young moved out temporarily. Follow her and don't get caught.
I can't make Bi-an my brother!
- A little boy? - Must be her sister's boy.
Your sister have a kid?
You'll be fine on your own. Please...
Previously on 'White Lies'...
Let me go, Hyeong-woo.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
How well do you know your wife?
We meet again.
Look her up on the VIP members list.
Na-kyeong was married before.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
- Why'd you do it? - What do you mean?
Why'd you do this to me!
You want to get divorced?
I'm going to adopt Bi-an.
Please let me adopt Bi-an.
Previously on 'White Lies'...
Six years ago you begged me on your knees.
You wanted to marry Na-kyeong. And it wasn't because you loved her.
You had...
ambitions for the company and suspicions about your father's death.
You wanted to use them to get to me.
The same way I did.
But there is a difference between us. Know what it is?
I've heard enough.
I can survive without Chairman Hong. You're still a ways to go.
Ma'am.
You didn't take over the company nor did you find out about your father's death.
I trust you'll make the wise decision, my son.
Go back to work.
Welcome home.
- I'm home. - Welcome, my son.
You've grown positively haggard!
I'm fine. I'll go get changed.
Go on. Wash up and get some rest.
Something's really been eating at him.
You still standing here? Go in and help him.
I'm going.
Sorry for misleading Mother.
Don't worry about a thing. If there's a price to pay, I'll pay it.
I know you haven't made your final decision.
I'll wait.
I'll match the time we've been married. I'll wait six more years.
I'll hold out longer if I can.
But do one thing for me.
I don't want others to pity me.
Meaning?
So we pretend to be on good terms in front of other people?
That's right. Please maintain a certain level of civility.
I'll try.
I'll go draw your bath.
I'm glad to hear he's home.
Thank you for your help.
Now it's in your hands, you know what I mean?
Yes, I do. Do you want to talk to him?
Not now. Come over tomorrow. I have something to say to you two.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you for coming home, sweetie.
You're welcome.
I'll be a good wife.
I'm tired. Let's go to bed.
Go to sleep. I have some things to take care of.
Pooky.
- Huh? - Wake up.
- What is it? - Pooky!
What do you want? I'm sleeping here.
- What is it? What? - I want some pork.
What's that? Pork THIS.
You know what time it is? It's 2... in the morning!
I'm not hungry. Your kid is. Says it can't sleep, it's so hungry.
The kid also want some beer to go with that pork?
Pregnant mothers crave food because the baby craves it.
Hong-jin!
Just go to bed already. Please!
I really want pork!
I want to buy you some, I swear.
But we'll spoil the kid if we buy everything it wants.
So let's teach him a little patience.
Sleep already. Be a good mother.
Burglar...?
Bur... burglar!
Burglar! Burglar!
- Burglar? - Burglar!
- Burglar? - In, in there!
- Go get him! Go! - Why me? Don't push me!
- What the...? - What's going on?
- Sweetums? - Bo-young?
What are you doing in the dark?
I wanted pork... but he ignored me!
I was like dying of hunger!
What the hell...?
Did you hear that? She was dying of hunger.
She's hurt that her husband ignored her!
That's a lot of meaning out of a few short sentences...
What's your problem? Think that's someone else's baby?
What did I do wrong?
All I did was sleep.
And you call yourself a man.
Mistreat her now and she'll hold it against you forever.
But, sir..!
Why am I the bad guy here?
Happy now, you pig?
You've no right to be a father or a husband!
- Shut up and eat. - Get out!
I've arranged a blind date for you this weekend.
Hold up, who? Me?
Who else here is single?
No way. I'm not going. I'm telling you now.
Don't be late. Saturday 2PM. The dept. store coffee shop.
Pretending not to hear me again?
Then I'll do the same.
You don't want to get married?
Are you happy?
I am. Marriage has its good points.
Married people are happy.
I don't doubt it when you say it.
The meeting's already been set. Don't mess it up.
Mom!
Mom. Eun-young is a mom.
And Hyeong-woo is the dad.
Eun-young, you pregnant? Congrats!
No, I'm not.
Bi-an is part of our family. The three of us are family.
What is he talking about?
Nothing of importance.
Don't be late on Saturday. And get a facial or something.
Bi-an is the little boy who came to visit, right?
Yup.
So why's Hyeong-woo the dad?
Because I'm considering adopting him.
Adopt him? You're gonna bring a total stranger into our home?
Better us than foreigners from abroad.
It's definitely a noble cause.
But highly unlikely, seeing mom's reaction.
- Give it up, bro. - I'm with her.
I'll have to convince her.
Na-kyeong.
What brings you here?
I'm here as a patient.
I need you to make me a baby.
I'm an obstetrician, not God.
Your mother-in-law bugging you for a grandkid?
No. I want to try again.
You gave up because it was too much for you.
I'll give it another go.
I want to know why parents stake their lives on their children.
Don't.
Your case of infertility is different.
It's near impossible.
Near but not completely.
It'll be too hard on you. Not worth it for that microscopic chance.
I know, but even so.
Parents these days don't stake their lives on their children.
Some couples get surgery so they'll never have children.
They don't know how privileged they are.
I'm gonna try one last time. So help me out.
Go get some fresh air. Ideas don't come on command.
Darnit.
The worst part is I have less than 30 minutes left.
If I don't come up with an idea soon,
he'll take out his frustrations of being dumped on us.
I'm so dead.
Huh? What's this? People still carry antiques like this?
That's unlike him. He never leaves that charm behind.
- Charm? - Yup.
Yup, his special charm.
Put it back before he sees you and shoots lightning at you again.
Who's this?
The very lady who broke his heart.
So she's the one.
Pure when it comes to love, huh?
Put it back before he comes back. If he sees you...
Hey... Min-je.
I was just... cleaning your desk.
I'm sorry for touching your things.
You should've just asked for it. Why grab...?
Don't touch it.
Get out.
- I'll get it fixed... - Get out now!
Wait! Hold up! I didn't do it on purpose...!
Hey, going somewhere?
Taking Bi-an to the hospital.
The chairwoman will be home soon. You sure it's alright?
She gave me permission already.
She did? Then go on.
Goodbye. Let's go. Put on your hat.
He's doing much better. He seems brighter, doesn't he?
He still wakes up crying sometimes but less than before.
I hope you won't be offended by me asking this...
but your husband is special, isn't he?
Yes, he's mentally handicapped.
Has he known Bi-an for very long?
No, not too long.
I was a little worried, but they get along fine.
What exactly is wrong with him?
He shows signs different from those of autism.
We haven't had him officially examined, but he grew up in a special environment.
Have him examined sometime. It'll be helpful in raising Bi-an together.
Okay, we'll do that.
You like that one?
Excuse me, do you have another one of this?
That's the last one. It's a popular toy.
You have another kid at home?
This is mine.
Hyeong-woo, can you maybe let Bi-an have this one?
Never mind. Bi-an, let's choose something else.
Um, how about this one? A fire truck. Isn't it pretty?
It is.
Will you buy that for Bi-an?
- Yes, I will. - Great.
How much?
$75 all together.
Is that so? Hold on, please.
Here, Hyeong-woo, pay with this.
- This is not money. - It's a credit card.
You can pay with that.
My, Bi-an is so smart.
I will pay with this.
Your signature, please.
Just write your name on the line.
- Kang... - Good.
Hyeong... Woo.
No, give it here.
This is for the nice man. And this copy is yours.
- You did well. - Super well.
Mother, I'm home.
Welcome home.
On the way home, I went to Gwa-ja to buy the cookies that you like.
Would it kill you to give 'em to me quietly?
Excuse me?
Always want to be appreciated, huh?
That's not it...
Whatever. Why did you buy two?
Jeong-woo and I are going to Hyeong-woo's today.
Hyeong-woo's mother likes these cookies, too.
So in other words...
you bought mine while you were buying hers.
Mother, that's not fair.
You know what I noticed?
You listen quietly to sis but always cut me off.
And you always lecture me.
You've always been her daughter-in-law, not mine.
Please don't say that. You're hurting my feelings.
Always ready with a reply, aren't you? Can't just say you're sorry for once.
I'm sorry.
- Whatever. - Aren't you going to eat the cookies?
You can take mine and eat it together with sis.
Come in.
The comparison of sales from the 2nd half of last year.
Thanks.
It fluctuates a bit, but there's an overall loss of 8%.
Bad even for a depression.
It is.
What about the other dept. stores?
Less losses than us, but all have a downward trend.
I see.
- Alright. Let's think of solutions. - Yes, sir.
You moved back home, right?
When did I move out?
Understood. I already pressed the erase button.
- Let's go out for drinks next time. - Sure thing. I'll look forward to it.
Yeah?
You gonna meet me there?
Go on without me.
You have to see her sometime.
Better to work things out at home than be awkward at the company.
Seems Mother will be avoiding Hyeong-woo's for a while, too.
Alright. Fine.
See you later.
We're back.
Hey, it's you again.
- Bi-an, say hello. - Hello.
The chairwoman's home.
She is?
When'd you...?
- We took Bi-an to the hospital. - That so?
Hello, Grandma.
Hi. Have fun while you're here.
Grandma's not angry. She's just super busy.
Mom is angry.
She's not. Really. Take Bi-an up, will you?
Here's your hat. Wait for me upstairs.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you he was coming.
Don't apologize.
I gave you permission to take him to the hospital and bring him here.
Thank you.
I hope you don't have an ulterior motive for bringing him here.
Well? Say something.
I'm afraid if I do you'll be angry with me.
I still want to adopt Bi-an. And Hyeong-woo is with me on this.
That so?
Of course he agrees with you. You're like God to him.
And you know how to exploit that.
You know he can't lie.
He really does like Bi-an.
Leave me. Or else I might really get angry.
If it's okay with you, may I take Bi-an home after dinner?
Do what you will. I'm not totally coldhearted.
Thank you.
- Mother, you're really not going? - Really.
You should clear the air with her.
Oh my! Ow.
Stop bothering me already.
I'm not going. You go have fun with your mother-in-law.
- Then what about your dinner? - I'm going out.
Okay.
How do you feel about going back to the fitness center?
Your membership is still valid.
No, thank you. Gonna change your mind and embarrass me again, are you?
Okay then. I'll see you later.
Would it kill her to offer it twice? She's so dense, I swear.
Child depression?
Yes, he was physically abused as a child.
Is that so?
It's been about a month since he came to her parents' place.
- And his parents? - The mother left when he was two.
The father left recently after his business failed.
Neither one can be reached.
He lived with his grandmother until recently.
Is that all? You're sure?
Yes, I'm positive.
Alright. You're excused.
What are you doing down here?
Where's Eun-young?
Where did she go?
I'm thirsty.
Grandma, I'm thirsty.
Lady?
I'll bring him home after dinner.
Why do you keep taking him there?
I got permission.
Fine, do what you will. I wash my hands of this.
We're home.
- Come on in. - Hey, mom.
Where's Bi-an?
Eun-young's feeding him dinner before she drops him off.
What's this I smell?
What do you think? Something to keep the hungry pig at bay.
It's pork, isn't it? This why you came home early?
Mommy, you're the best!
I didn't cook it for you. I did it for my grandchild.
Smells great!
It's not done yet.
Being a mother for once, are you?
When was I not a mother? Huh?
That Hong-jin coming home early?
The door's open. Come in!
Delivery!
- Wha-what is this? - Delivery ordered by a Seo Ho-gu.
- What is this? - Mom, what's that?
We're gonna be eating pork for weeks now!
Couldn't pick something tastier to crave?
You two are on the same wavelength. Great minds think alike.
C'mere, you!
For the baby.
Where's Bi-an?
C'mere.
Thank you, Grandma.
You're welcome.
You should keep an eye on him.
Yes, ma'am.
Dinner's ready. When is Jeong-woo getting here?
That must be them.
Good timing, Hyeong-woo. Time for dinner.
Um, Mother, I think we'll just...
I'm home.
Bi-an, come here.
We're hungry, ma'am.
Well you're just in time.
Who's the kid?
This is Bi-an.
Bi-an?
Hello, mister.
Do you know him?
I'm not sure. Don't think so.
I'll go take Bi-an home. I didn't know we were having guests.
There's plenty of room for him. Everyone, come eat.
She's right. You can't leave as soon as we come.
He's so adorable. Who is he?
Hyeong-woo's future son.
My future nephew.
Excuse me?
She's waiting inside.
We'll talk after dinner. I'm starved.
Sure.
It's a little strange to see a kid here.
Children are a natural part of marriage.
- Where's your mother-in-law? - She had a prior engagement.
Did she now?
Bi-an, don't stare.
Eat up and I'll take you home.
I know that man.
