Hyeong-woo... can be cured.
Come again?
His disorder isn't autism. With treatment he can be cured!
So... you're telling me you just came back from the hospital?
Yes. I spoke with the doctor.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
I told you before that Hyeong-woo is just a little slower in developing.
Why won't you trust in him and let him improve at his own pace?
Mother... I just...
You wanted to register him as handicapped.
You never considered him your husband. He's just a handicapped patient to you.
This ends now.
Mother, he can become normal. Ask the doctor if you don't believe me...
I see... you believe that I made Hyeong-woo the way he is, is that it?
No, of course not!
If not!
you're saying I left him this way for 25 years out of negligence!
Mother, that's not what I meant at all. I just...
That's enough!
I won't forgive such nonsense, you understand?
Are your hands all clean?
Yes.
Yes, what? Your hands are what?
Yes, my hands are all clean.
Good job.
You do everything you should except one.
Since Bi-an came, do you go into your mother's room?
I do not like Mom's room.
Don't be like that. In two days you'll be a parent.
In two days I will be a dad.
That's right. We have to set a good example for Bi-an and treat Mother right.
So check in on her often and treat her well. Understand?
I want you to give me verbal replies. Yes or no, tell me what you're thinking.
I do not want to.
Look at me when you talk to me.
I will go to her room and check in on her.
Thank you.
Hyeong-woo, I feel so lost. Am I doing the right thing?
Good job.
I don't know. Get out!
- Ah, seriously! What is her problem? - We're home.
How'd you come together?
I stopped by the spa to pick up Mrs. Ju. What are you doing?
I dunno what's up your mother-in-law. She kicked me out of the room.
- Wait, she's still in a foul mood? - How annoying.
Geez, I so predicted this. Sir, you don't understand women at all.
What? And you do?
For the sake of keeping the peace, I prepared a little somethin'.
Tada!
Booya!
What is that?
Pooky, what is that?
Don't know a diamond when you see one?
Looks like the real thing, huh?
So it's a fake?
Of course. How could I afford the real thing?
What is that for?
Isn't it obvious? It'll placate our angry missus.
Just take it in and...
What? No way! I can't trick her with a fake.
That's not the point. It's the thought that matters.
He's right, Dad. Thunderbolt doesn't like it when Mom yells at us.
Exactly. Gives me a heart attack every time.
Calm the storm first.
We can switch it with a real one later when we can afford it.
- Let me see that thing. - Here.
It looks real, doesn't it? She'll never know.
Must I really...? Thanks, I guess.
So... you're really not gonna cook dinner?
Really. Stop telling me to cook all the time!
Ah... I didn't mean...
Geez, I have absolutely nothing to wear!
Honey... here, for you...
What is it?
Ah... I dunno. Just take it.
What is this?
See for yourself.
What's with him?
Oh Lordy, I can't believe him!
This expensive thing... He's lost it for sure!
How did he know my ring size? It fits just right!
Mom, what's that on your finger?
What? Whoa, what's that blinding thing? I can't see! I'm blind!
Geez, stop overreacting, you two. Seriously.
What shall I cook for dinner?
Dinner? How about something light with veggies?
What are you doing in my room?
Did Eun-young tell you to check up on me?
No, I came on my own.
Really?
I should stop by here often. Set a good example for Bi-an.
I should thank Bi-an for this.
Are you happy?
Yes, I am very happy.
Good. That's good to hear.
That's good enough for me.
You still have a healthy appetite, right?
Yes. Why do you ask?
I'm worried you'll have morning sickness.
I feel fine.
Being pregnant is hard on the body, but you get to be treated like a princess.
When I was pregnant with Jeong-woo,
your father-in-law bought me whatever I craved, no matter how late it was.
Though I'm sure Jeong-woo doesn't remember.
You're allowed to do the same. That's okay, right Jeong-woo?
Of course.
I couldn't. Jeong-woo already works all day.
Regardless, tell me if you want something.
Yes, tell him.
I may be your mother-in-law but I'm on your side.
Essentially everything you eat is for my grandchild as well.
Na-kyeong, come to the department store today.
Why?
Let's pick out some baby clothes.
What a lucky gal you are. Could you ask for a better husband?
Hold on, is Bi-an getting adopted tomorrow?
Our family's going downhill, I swear.
Hyeong-woo's marriage was the start of it and this adoption doesn't help.
I can't believe this is happening!
Come in.
What is it?
I'm sorry... about yesterday.
I should have been more careful. I'm sorry.
What about yesterday?
I don't recall anything.
I must be getting old. Or perhaps it just wasn't very important.
Um, Mother...
I have an early meeting. Is this urgent?
No.
Then later.
Okay.
- Congratulations, ma'am. - Thank you.
What do you recommend?
President Kang already picked out most everything.
You did?
I wasn't sure what to buy so I just ordered everything that's necessary.
It's a nice thought, but I'm sure our child will appreciate a little more effort.
Think so?
Yes.
Sorry. He just wanted to show off that he's gonna be a dad.
Don't worry about it. The latest items are over there.
Help me pick.
I have no idea what to do. Is this good?
Hold on a sec.
Hello? Yeah I'm downstairs.
Dodo Corp. called? Alright, bye.
Go back to work if you're busy.
We have to send some files to Dodo. Don't leave. I'll call you.
I'm just going to look around and then go home early.
Yeah? Then have Mr. Ju drop you off.
Okay.
Bye.
What did the PR team say? Are we good?
Who says you can take pictures?
Don't be like that. We're all ready to start.
Remember, we're here to work, not to play.
May I... go use the restroom?
Go on then.
What brings you here?
Work.
You're working with Dream In?
What a relief. So it wasn't you.
When Dream In called, I was worried you might've pulled some strings.
Then again, you're not one to take such risks.
Of course it wasn't me. You're nothing to me now.
Of course.
Sorry for stopping by last time.
What a fool I was, going to see a guy who changed his number to avoid me.
I didn't give it much thought. I'll be going if we're done here.
I'm pregnant.
I want your congratulations.
Congratulations.
I saw your girlfriend.
Yeah?
I didn't see her face but you look happier. I should thank her for that.
I'll be sure to tell her that. Bye.
Where were you?
We're done here.
Huh? Min-je!
I talked with Jeong-woo about the Busan branch.
Look into whether or not it could happen.
Yes, ma'am.
Compile the estimated profits we'd make from catering to tourists.
- Yes, ma'am. - And...
research businesses that tried to do the same but failed.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am, a Mr. Seo Ho-gu is here to see you?
He is? Let him in.
Hello, sir. To what do I owe this pleasure?
I'm sorry if I'm interrupting you and your work.
Of course not. Send in some tea.
- Please have a seat. - Thank you.
The adoption mustn't go through?
Is this about the way I behaved the last time we met?
No, of course not. We're grateful that you've forgiven us.
I admit I was very angry at first.
But Eun-young didn't lie from the very beginning.
And as a mother myself, I understand how she felt.
You're too kind for words. But you mustn't adopt Bi-an.
What choice do I have?
Hyeong-woo can't live without Eun-young and she can't live without Bi-an.
I know, but...
Please don't worry so much. I will raise him like my own.
Oh no, I don't doubt that. That's not the reason it mustn't happen.
It would just be too shameless if I let it happen.
Is there... another reason you're so against the adoption?
Is the same reason you were against the marriage?
Is it Hyeong-woo?
Oh dear, of course not. The thought never even crossed my mind.
Then what is it?
Seems to me there's something you're keeping from me.
You're right. There is another reason.
What is it?
See... I can't say this for sure since I've never met him.
But I can't help thinking that Bi-an's father is alive.
Eun-young seems to think he's dead. But she can't know for sure.
He might come looking for his son someday.
I don't want that happening to Hyeong-woo.
I imagine... it isn't so easy to be strangers after having a child together.
I won't forgive such nonsense, you understand?
He can change within 6 months to 2 years.
Shall we give it a try?
Hello, it's me, Dr. Han.
That's the official diagnosis?
Yes. But Mother refuses to believe it.
Of course she does. Accepting it is the death sentence for her.
I don't understand.
In the last 25 years, there isn't a treatment she didn't try,
a specialist she didn't visit.
Why isn't he any better?
Because she's the reason he isolated himself from the world.
What use is feeding him great medicine when she's unwilling to change first?
Then Hyeong-woo's the way he is because of Mother?
I thought you'd have guessed that by now.
I just thought she was super overprotective of him.
She is. Because she blames herself for his condition.
She doesn't realize that she's only making him worse.
Do you know why I'm telling you all this and betraying her confidence?
It's my duty as a doctor.
Hyeong-woo has changed so much since he met you.
In fact, that's why I began thinking it might not be congenital.
Why didn't you tell Mother this?
She won't be able to live with herself knowing that she is the real cause.
I couldn't destroy her to save him, could I?
So... what do I do now?
Don't be so impatient.
Don't force the idea on her. Help her accept it gradually.
Sir...
Hyeong-woo's life is in your hands. You're his only liaison with the world.
Don't ever leave him until he's ready to stand on his own.
Understand?
Oh, my head hurts.
Oh, are you sick? Would you like some medicine?
I'm fine. Geez, why am I sweating so?
Wait! Wait-wait-wait, what is that?
Oh this? I didn't want it but my husband insisted.
It's too big and heavy.
What a huge diamond. It must've cost a fortune.
Yes, it does look bigger than yours, doesn't it?
Can I take a look?
Hold on.
Why are you laughing?
Nothing. It suits you very well.
Darn right it suits me.
Just because I don't wear gems doesn't mean they don't look good on me.
I agree completely. It was made just for you.
Excuse me, I'm a bit busy.
Did she lose her marbles? Why's she snickering so?
Hi, Eun-young.
Weren't you bored?
I was.
Know what this is?
Yup.
You didn't need it because you never went out alone,
but you might need it now.
I will not go out alone.
It's for just in case.
When I'm not home, you can call me.
Or you can text me if you have something to say.
I can call you.
Exactly. Check this out.
Just hold down number one. Try it.
- Number one? - Yup.
Hold it down.
Exactly.
Hello?
It is Kang Hyeong-woo.
And I am Seo Eun-young.
I am hanging up.
When you hang up, make sure the other person is done talking.
- Okay. - Good.
- Number one. - Number one.
Hello?
It's me.
There is a busy signal.
Hyeong-woo, hold on.
What is it?
Eun-young.
What?
I hear the adoption is tomorrow.
Everything's going according to your plan, huh?
Aren't you the least bit apologetic towards me?
We're already beyond that.
Hyeong-woo's going to be a father soon. So just be Bi-an's uncle, please.
Fine, do whatever you want.
- You mean that? - I do.
I'm sick and tired of the whole thing. Just raise him well.
Thanks. I promise that Hyeong-woo and I will be great parents to him.
I have a request.
Go ahead.
Can I have one last meal with him?
Sure. After the adoption.
He's my nephew starting tomorrow.
I want a final meal with him before I become his uncle.
Am I asking too much? Fine, forget I said anything.
No, we'll eat together.
Like you said... this is the final meal.
Thanks.
I know the place. See you there.
Hello?
Did you ask your wife about me?
I don't know what you're after, but you're wasting your time.
Don't call me again.
I just want one thing.
The woman your son stole from me.
You're a lunatic!
Please, let Eun-young go.
Do you realize what you're saying?
If you don't let her go,
she'll never make the decision to go against your son and her parents.
We still... love each other. And then there's Bi-an.
Pull a stunt like this again and I'll track you down.
Fine, don't believe me? I'll prove it to you.
How beautiful my son is.
Mommy, are we going somewhere?
Yup, we're gonna eat out.
What about Daddy?
He won't be joining us.
But starting tomorrow, it'll always be the three of us, okay?
Okay.
Bi-an, I'm so sorry.
For what?
Just... everything.
Bi-an, I have something to tell you.
You know the person that we're meeting today.
Who is it?
It's...
Hello.
I'm here on behalf of Kang Jeong-woo.
What's going on?
He'll be late because of a meeting.
He wanted me to keep you company until he came.
We'll be fine. You can leave.
That would go against his orders and put me in a tight spot.
Please just let me follow my orders.
Are you Bi-an?
Yes.
You look hungry. Why don't we order?
I'm supposed to eat dinner with her and the child at six.
If you don't believe me, come to the restaurant.
What time is it?
6:12.
Turn the car around. We have to make a stop.
Yes, ma'am.
What shall we do, ma'am?
Go home.
