What's the big idea?
Jeong-woo!
Shut up if you don't want the family finding out everything.
You crazy? Stop the car.
I told you to shut up.
Gonna jump out of the car again?
- Jeong-woo... - Do it then.
This time I won't stop you.
What is your problem?
Shouldn't we say hello to our baby first?
I'm sure you haven't visited in a while.
What's this?
You so happy with your new life that you forgot about the baby?
Spill it. Why are you doing this?
Did our baby really die six years ago?
Answer me!
A car accident killed him and you scattered his ashes here, right?
That right?
That's right. This is the place.
It is?
- This is the place? - It is.
Our baby died. I scattered his ashes myself.
You...!
I don't know what you think you know but this is the truth.
You scattered his ashes yourself?
I did.
Seo Eun-young!
What is it you believe?
You think I'm lying that he's dead when he's really alive?
You think I'd do that?
Bi-an.
Who is he?
- A distant relative. - You're lying.
He's your kid.
The baby you claim has died is actually Bi-an.
- He's my son! - You should write fiction.
That's completely absurd. You think he's your son?
What an imagination you have.
Stop lying. That's enough.
And I've had enough of you.
You pulling this stunt because you're against the adoption?
Making up things about Bi-an...
So Bi-an is not my son?
Do I have to dignify that with an answer?
Fine, here's my answer.
He's not your son.
It could be the end of the world and I'm on my last breath,
and he still wouldn't be your son. Satisfied?
Now, the truth.
Explain this.
Explain what? What is this paper?
- You...! - Can't stand my happiness, huh?
Enough for you to create fake documents?
I don't know how you made this, but this is the last straw.
- Eun-young! - What?
You out of your mind? Who's your son?
You...!
He's not your son. I say this as his mother.
What better proof is there than this? What better evidence?
I don't know what your intentions are, attacking me like this.
But I've had enough. I won't just take it.
You're claiming that I'm lying? That I'm making this all up?
Alright then. Let me prove it true.
Hello, Mr. Seo.
- This is Hyeong-woo's brother. - What are you trying to pull?
- Should I have said I'm Bi-an's father? - Jeong-woo, please.
It's true.
Bi-an... is the baby I gave birth to six years ago.
So... what is it you're trying to pull?
You tell me he's dead when he's not.
You tell me that you've forgiven me.
All for what end?
I'm going to adopt Bi-an and raise him as my son.
You've lost your mind.
Completely lost it.
He has nothing to do with you. You didn't even know he existed.
- Just pretend you never found out. - How could I possibly?
My son will become Hyeong-woo's son and call me uncle.
How can I stand that?
Bi-an's had a terrible childhood.
He's so traumatized by father's abuse he has breathing problems at times.
He's never had a real family outing.
He can't even read.
He needs me.
Then raise him. On your own.
Divorce Hyeong-woo and raise him.
- I can't leave Hyeong-woo. - And why not?
You married him for money and to have your revenge on me.
He's your brother. And he can't live without me.
Tell me it's 'cause of the money. And that you want the kid, too.
Tell me you don't want to give up being the rich daughter-in-law.
This is the truth.
I can't give up Bi-an or Hyeong-woo.
Bi-an is your son.
And Hyeong-woo is your brother.
Turn a blind eye this once.
Consider me crazy. Curse me if you want.
Let me have this, please. Just this once.
Please... please! Screw your head on straight.
I'm fine.
- Think I'll just stand by and watch? - Take your best shot.
I don't care what you do. I'm going to adopt Bi-an as my son.
You can't. You won't be able to.
I have no intention to be an accomplice to this crazy plan of yours.
Jeong-woo, please...!
I don't really know who you are.
But I'm just a weak human being. So I lower my head before you.
I am about to commit a grave sin.
If you truly exist and you are against what I plan to do...
please keep in mind that I am the cause of it all.
I won't ask for your forgiveness.
I just ask that you turn a blind eye during this lifetime.
In the next life, should you choose to punish me...
I will accept it all without complaint.
What are you doing?
Waiting for Bi-an.
- You're waiting for Bi-an? - Yes.
I assume this woman is Eun-young. And this man is you.
Is the child Bi-an?
We are a family.
How is Bi-an your family?
Eun-young, Bi-an and I are family. We will live together.
What about me?
Am I not your family? Why didn't you draw me in?
You are not family.
What...?
You are Hyeong-woo's mom.
You're absolutely right. I'm your mother.
As your mother... I'll make sure you get everything you want.
A child wouldn't understand Hyeong-woo the way Eun-young does.
In a single moment, Hyeong-woo will lose interest.
In other words, the child's good effect on Hyeong-woo won't last long.
That's my prediction.
The boy's only seven.
Eun-young must be super busy today. Let's go inside before we catch cold.
Why's he so stubborn?
Because he takes after his mother. She can get real stubborn, too.
Go man the counter.
Ugh, why is that tramp here?
No wonder the employees laze around. The employers set the example.
I was just heading back to work.
How you manage to meddle everywhere with those short legs is beyond me.
- Excuse me? - Don't pay attention to me.
Talking to oneself is a habit that comes with old age.
Kid, where's my hello?
Would you look at that! How rude!
Would you look at that?
Thank you for making him go in instead of standing in the cold.
That woman...!
There you are. Where's Bi-an?
Maybe next time.
- Is he sick? - No, he's not.
Is he scared to come because of last time?
No, not at all.
Sit. We need to talk.
Adopting Bi-an right now is an irrational decision.
But you both want it too badly for me to just say no.
I suggest he lives with us for a trial month.
Like a temporary foster home.
Mother.
Don't get your hopes up yet. It's just a trial run.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
This is the truth.
I can't give up Bi-an or Hyeong-woo.
Bi-an is your son.
And Hyeong-woo is your brother.
Turn a blind eye this once.
I don't care what you do. I'm going to adopt Bi-an as my son.
Welcome home.
- Hey. - I'll go set the table. Go wash up.
You sure you won't regret it?
Regret what?
Attempting to have a baby.
It might be harder this time.
I'm not concerned about that. If you don't want a child, I don't either.
Let's give it a shot.
You mean it?
I do.
What made you change your mind?
I'm suddenly curious.
How will it feel to see a part of me walking around?
How will it feel to hug tight a child who looks just like me?
I couldn't help wondering.
Is that weird?
I never imagined this from you.
I thought you were so disgusted with me you'd never want our child.
How unlike you. Since when are you so weak?
I know, right? What's with me?
- Hello, Mother. - Hey.
Is something up?
- You two fight again? - 'Course not.
I'm gonna go wash up.
What's going on?
He wants to try to have a baby.
That's great news! I knew he'd come around.
He did.
Mother... You didn't have to do all this.
I'm not sure Bi-an will like the room. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to children.
He'll love it. Thank you.
I want you to promise me something.
Anything.
I'll say it again. It's only for a month.
I know.
If it doesn't work out and I say no, then we'll just be his sponsors, okay?
- Okay. - Good.
Don't forget to tell your parents.
Thank you so much.
Seems my trip to your office was a waste of time.
We're at your service.
I hope you're both prepared for this.
This your scare tactic?
Men have no idea how hard this process is for women.
She might become sensitive and tense. You'll have to deal with all that.
I will.
My husband's a busy person. Can we cut this short?
Fine.
We'll give it a shot. It'll be more business for me.
- Come on in. - Hello.
- Hello, ma'am. - Welcome.
- Where's Eun-young? - Busy decorating the room.
- What room? - Bi-an's. He's coming tomorrow.
That's great. She must be thrilled.
We're not adopting just yet. We're gonna see how it goes for a month.
That's very gracious of you.
How are you doing?
I'm okay. Jeong-woo isn't angry anymore.
See, I told you it wouldn't last.
- It's all up to you now. - I know.
Is it straight?
- It's crooked 12 degrees to the right. - It is?
What about now?
- 5 degrees too much to the left. - The left?
Hmm...
- Stop! - Stop?
- Now it's perfect! - Perfect.
Looks good.
- Excuse my interruption... - Na-kyeong, come on in.
I just got here. Hyeong-woo, how are you?
- Hello, Na-kyeong. - Hello.
- I will drink milk now. - I'll get it for you.
I can do it.
Wow, this room doesn't look temporary. She must be considering adoption.
Have a seat.
I'm impressed, Eun-young.
- With what? - I understand you pity the child...
but he's still a stranger.
- He's a good kid. - Yes, and adorable, too.
- I have something to tell you. - Go ahead.
I just came from the gynecologist.
We're gonna try for a baby again.
You are? That's great.
Thanks.
How will it feel to see a part of me walking around?
How will it feel to hug tight a child who looks just like me?
I felt bad when he said that.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
Thank you for not bringing up my past even though you know about it.
I swear I won't worry you anymore.
Where have you been? She's been waiting.
Hello.
I would've gone to you, but you didn't answer your phone.
Come to me? Why?
I'll learn lots by following you around. Thank you for the chance.
- I want them nice and clean. - Excuse me?
Be careful with the lenses. They're expensive.
Making it rough for the new kid, huh?
You come up with any new ideas?
Excuse me.
Why are you speaking to me so informally?
Feel free to do the same.
What's this feeling of deja vu?
- Hello. - Come sit.
What's so urgent we had to cut work short?
Let her catch her breath first.
I get all nervous when she says she has something to say.
- Mom. Dad. - Yes?
I'm taking Bi-an with me tomorrow morning.
Take him where?
To my house. Mother gave her permission.
What have you done now?
What now?
She didn't say yes to adoption. She wants to try living with him first.
Live with him?
It's just for a month.
You say a month, but you're gonna use that time to find a way to adopt him.
A month, that's all. It'll give us all some time to think.
No.
- Dad... - I said no.
End of discussion. Go home.
She already decorated a room for him. Nothing bad will happen, I swear.
Enough already!
Because I knew how hard things are for you, I let you have your way.
But you're taking it too far. You of all people can't do this.
Just get a divorce.
If it's about the money, don't worry. I'm already looking into new jobs.
If I don't come back at night, Hyeong-woo inflicts wounds on himself.
His entire body becomes covered with scars.
He can't do anything without me. He can't live without me.
He'll die.
So how do I leave him?
I'll pay for my sins when the time comes.
I'll spend all my days in repentance, taking care of Hyeong-woo and Bi-an.
This isn't food, it's medicine. Brew it earnestly, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm home.
What are you making?
Your mother-in-law bought loaches to make you loach soup.
You don't like loach.
It's for you. The better you eat, the higher chance of success.
Geez, is there anything you don't know?
This isn't all.
I specially ordered beef and abalones. You just have to enjoy it all.
What's with the face? You're not gonna eat them?
Of course not. I'll eat everything you give me.
That's a good daughter-in-law. It's for the first grandchild of the family.
But I think Eun-young will beat me to that.
Come again? Is she pregnant?
No, but the child she wants to adopt is moving in tomorrow.
What nonsense is this?
- I'm home. - You're home early.
Na-kyeong, answer me.
The child's moving in with Eun-young?
What is Eun-young's ulterior motive?
Why are you both so serious? This is good news.
Good news? Eun-young's trying to swallow Dream In whole.
She just wants to help out a poor kid. You know how nice she is.
Can you be any more naive?
No one adopts an older kid like that just because one feels sorry for him.
Jeong-woo, what's your take on this?
It's a trial stay, not adoption.
Weren't you listening? Sis decorated a room for the kid.
This trial stay is just a step towards adoption.
They'll never adopt him. Don't worry about it.
- Sweetie... - I've got work to do.
Hello, Jeong-woo.
- You really gonna go through with this? - What is this about?
- Stop it this instant. - I'm not following you at all.
Eun-young!
Let me ask one thing of you.
Treat me with due respect, as Hyeong-woo's wife.
Goodbye then.
You...!
Hello, ma'am.
Why are you here so early in the morning?
I thought I told you that adoption is out of the question.
Calm down and sit.
Who says we're adopting?
You're having him stay here because you're considering adoption.
Perhaps. That depends on the trial period.
You can't.
Are you against Hyeong-woo adopting? Or against him adopting Bi-an?
- He's barely been married 3 months. - Do I look like I don't know that?
You've always gone against everything that has to do with Eun-young.
Why?
This is about Hyeong-woo, not Eun-young.
So you always say.
Even if so, you're taking this too far.
Eun-young's taking things too far. What's her motive?
Why's she trying to adopt an older kid instead of a baby?
You should know. You looked into that.
You said there was nothing between her and Hwang Jeong-gu.
What else is there?
This is what I decided. Don't question me.
I brought Bi-an.
