I had him and abandoned him.
And I'm trying to make amends.
How do you like the gift I sent you?
What are you trying to pull?
You had the wrong attitude when we met. This is the result of you pissing me off.
Why are you doing this?
I gave it some thought. I don't think I'll give up Bi-an.
- Sir... - I'd consider giving him up...
if you weren't attached.
But you're married, aren't you?
I don't want my son living with a stepfather.
Look, Mr. Hwang. Let's meet.
Let's talk in person.
I don't want to talk long. Just tell me when you'll give him back.
Is it money you want?
Think I'm a real lowlife, don't you?
Do I look like I'd sell off my son?
But you don't even care much for him.
I know you hit and abused him, telling him that he ruined your life.
That's all in the past. I'm a new man now.
I'm not a very patient person. Give me back my son.
No. I'll never let him go back to a person like you.
Keep this up and the tape player might fall into the wrong hands.
Do your worst. I don't care.
- There you are. - Hey.
Why are you so jumpy? Everyone's waiting to eat.
Okay.
The boy's here like you wanted. So what's with the face?
It's nothing.
Here, drink some water.
Hyeong-woo, eat some more.
I can eat on my own.
He's very good at eating on his own now.
Letting him do it on his own and ignoring him are very different.
This now a couple's fight?
I nearly forgot. Bi-an's private tutor will start tomorrow.
Huh? A private tutor?
Yes, I thought that would be better than sending him to kindergarten.
I was going to help him.
You can't teach him with the housework and while watching over Hyeong-woo.
I got someone very experienced. Let's give it a try.
Okay.
Mom, I will teach Bi-an.
You can help him on the side.
Okay.
Here, eat some of this.
Go ahead, I'm listening.
She's got guts, I'll give you that.
- How so? - She didn't get frightened.
Rather, she threatened me in return.
- Did she? - She did!
I might have to take a different approach.
Should I flex my muscles a bit?
No.
Just do as I tell you. Don't act on your own.
I'll call you.
- What are you doing here, Hong-jin? - Oh, I brought my chauffeur along.
Chauffeur, my butt.
- What the hell are you holding? - This? It's a handbag.
I'm on work duty.
- Pooky! - What? It's not heavy.
Hold it while I get dressed. Be careful, it's expensive.
- Yes, ma'am. - Put it down now.
Okay.
I said hold it. Or did you not hear me?
- Yes, ma'am. - Hong-jin.
Yes?
Your chauffeur just quit on you.
Are you quitting, Mr. Ju?
No, I didn't.
Either that or quit being my son-in-law.
Wh-why are you two doing this?
Screw this! I'm leaving. Geez....
Pooky!
Hello, ma'am.
Oh, there you are. I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
It's about Bi-an, the kid I saw here the last time.
What about him?
Just wondering what you were thinking when you sent him off to Eun-young.
- Why's that any of your business? - Shush, dear.
Nothing in particular.
Eun-young felt sorry for him and wanted to take care of him for a few days.
- That the truth? - You bet.
Did you see him there?
- I did. - Is he doing well?
How well could he be when he's an unwanted guest at that house?
Time for me to get changed.
Go ahead.
That's it. I've gotta go see him.
- Where do you think you're going? - I have to see how he's doing!
So I absolutely need his guardian's permission to adopt him?
No, I don't think he'll come to the hearing.
Thank you. Bye.
Please leave a message.
It's Seo Eun-young. I was a little rash earlier.
Let's talk in person.
I'll wait for your call.
Eun-young, your mother's here.
My mother? Okay.
Sorry for the sudden visit. I have to give something to Bi-an.
Oh no, it's good that you stopped by. I have something to say to you.
- Nana! - My child, have you been well?
Mom.
How have you been, Hyeong-woo?
I have been well.
- I'll go get some tea. - Hyeong-woo.
- Take Bi-an upstairs for a bit. - Okay.
Bi-an, take this with you. It's yours.
You're very attached to him.
Yes, well, he did stay at our house for a while.
- Does he cause any trouble? - None at all.
He's already much loved by everyone. And he gets along with Hyeong-woo.
If you feel he's too much, feel free to send him back to us anytime.
Mom, please.
Well, something big could come up, and he might become a nuisance.
Are you worried about Hyeong-woo?
What do you mean?
You seem uncomfortable with having Bi-an stay with us.
Please don't say that. There's nothing wrong with Hyeong-woo.
I'm just worried he'll impede and be a nuisance to this family.
Not at all.
If anyone's a nuisance, I suppose it's Jeong-woo's mother.
She's certainly in a class of her own.
She was so listless I said she could help you, but tell me if she becomes a bother.
Not yet.
I could've gone home on my own.
It's hard to catch a cab there. I'll take you to the bus stop.
Geez, you've got nerves of steel. An hour in that house had me on needles.
How do you live there?
Happy now that you've had your way?
Fortunately everyone likes Bi-an.
Think the arms will remain open if they find out the truth?
Never mind.
A whole month on needles like this and you'll drop the whole adoption thing.
There's the bus stop.
I'll take you home.
Forget that.
I like the bus. It's quicker, too.
Fine.
Let's meet at the same cafe.
What's wrong?
Huh? Oh, it's nothing.
I'll drop you off at the bus stop.
Hyeong-woo, let's draw.
I am reading the newspaper.
Hyeong-woo!
Mom! The fish are dying! They are dying!
No, they won't. They won't die.
Don't worry, they'll be alright.
Hyeong-woo scares me.
He's strange!
He's just not feeling well right now. Can you go to your room?
He's scary.
- Take him to his room! - Yes, ma'am.
It's okay. It's gonna be alright.
- The fish are dying. - They won't die. They'll be alright.
They won't die. Don't you worry.
They won't die, you hear? It'll be alright.
It'll be fine.
- Welcome. - I need clothes for a seven-year-old.
These are the newest arrivals.
- I'll take a look around. - Go ahead.
Must he take pictures in the cold? Why not somewhere warm?
You got a kid?
- Hey kid, you cold? - I am.
Let's call it a day.
Hey! This is sexual harassment.
That's when a guy persistently bothers a girl.
You saying I'm not a girl?
Yup.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Ah. I'll come back later. I'm sorry.
Open the door, please. Please open the door!
Open the door...
Please open the door...
Bi-an's crying.
Leave him be.
Excuse me?
Go running to him every time and you'll spoil him.
Bad habits need to be fixed.
Yes, ma'am.
- How's Hyeong-woo? - He calmed down when I cleaned it up.
He just fell asleep.
- Get me a cup of tea. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
- Hello? - It's me.
I know.
- When are you sending Bi-an home? - I won't change my mind.
No matter what?
- Yes. - You're really gonna adopt him.
- If you'll turn a blind eye. - Is that so?
Give it your best shot.
Bi-an, what are you doing?
Did you cry?
Yes, the door wouldn't open.
Oh no, it must've gotten locked.
I'm sorry. Were you scared?
Here, have a cookie.
Bi-an?
You're a good boy, aren't you?
Then you mustn't say things like Hyeong-woo's scary or strange.
Hyeong-woo was just momentarily sick. You're sick sometimes, too, right?
In other words, he's not a scary or strange person.
He's a kind, good person.
He's very good at drawing and cool, too.
That's right. Aren't you a smart one? Come here.
Good boy.
Hey, did you take your mother home?
- I did. - Good. It's too cold outside.
Bi-an, is something wrong?
- What's wrong? Huh? - Well, you see...
Seems he didn't grip the handle right or something and couldn't get out.
Bi-an, were you scared?
No. Grandma gave me cookies.
Thank you.
Having a kid in the house means everyone helps to take care of him.
When it comes to Bi-an, there's no need to apologize or thank anyone.
Okay.
I thought we'd have the whole family over for lunch tomorrow since it's Sunday.
- With Na-kyeong's family? - Yeah.
I was gonna call them over last week but this and that happened.
And we need to officially introduce Bi-an to them.
Okay, Mother.
You're generous, I give you that.
Isn't this a pretty color?
- Jeong-woo won't like it. - Excuse me?
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
What's that?
We're meeting Bi-an tomorrow. It's a welcoming gift.
Why would you buy him a gift?
I'll go wash up.
- What's with him? - I told you so.
I'll go help him.
At times like these you're way too cold.
You gonna treat our kid like that, too?
Look at these.
Aren't they precious?
- You buy this? - While shopping for Bi-an.
Don't look at me like that. They were too adorable to pass up.
Just a small decoration.
The higher the expectations the greater the fall.
Even so, I'm gonna keep my high expectations.
I plan to keep trying until we succeed.
I'm becoming more like Mother.
You okay?
I'm okay.
He was trembling so much, afraid that the fish would die.
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.
Give me time. I'll help you become better.
Bi-an?
Bi-an! What's wrong? What is it?
You were scared, weren't you? Come here. I got you.
You should've called for me. Or cried loud enough for me to hear.
No crying loudly.
Why? Because you're a boy?
Daddy hits me when I cry loudly.
He won't.
Cry as loudly as you want. No one here will hit you.
Lie down.
I'm telling the truth. You can trust me.
You're up early.
- Mom? - Yeah?
What's on your mind?
I like Bi-an.
Eun-young likes Bi-an. I like Bi-an, too.
I see.
But you tell me the instant you don't like him anymore, okay?
Hello?
Yes, an hour from now sounds good.
Don't show that you know her and don't do anything to stand out.
Just eat quietly in front of her.
Don't be late. Bye.
Sorry I'm late.
Promises between family should be kept. Don't be late next time.
Yes, ma'am.
- Please bring out the meal now. - Yes, ma'am.
How about a small intro before we eat?
Since this is a meaningful day, I'll just say one thing.
We've just gained a new family member.
Sis, what do you mean "family member"?
He's family while he stays with us.
His name's Hwang Bi-an and he's seven.
He's a relative of Eun-young's.
Bi-an, say hello.
Hello.
I brought a welcoming gift for Bi-an.
Thank you.
- Let's be friends. - Okay.
You're supposed to say thank you when you receive a gift.
As rude as ever.
Stop picking on the kid.
Bi-an, it's okay.
If he's family, he's Hyeong-woo's son. Does that mean I'm an aunt?
Babbling again, I see.
How appropriate. She's right. She's Bi-an's aunt, isn't she?
Jeong-woo, what's up?
It's just so darn amusing.
The idea that Hyeong-woo became a dad before I did.
I am a father.
Eun-young is the mother and I am the father.
- Bi-an, is the food good? - Yes.
Have some salad, too. It'll help you grow tall.
- You don't like chicken? - Chicken makes me itch.
What a coincidence. Jeong-woo is allergic to chicken, too.
I am.
Excuse me for a sec.
