Wow, Bi-an, you're so strong. Now the other hand.
Thanks for covering for me.
It was no problem. See you again, Bi-an.
Bye bye.
Bye.
Something came up. Sorry.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Bi-an, aren't you gonna say hi? You've met before.
Hello.
Hi. You must be starved,
Let's order. Waiter!
Mister, are you mad?
Are you mad we didn't go to see Nessie?
Of course he's not mad. Eat your dinner.
She's right. I'm not mad. Do you want anything else to eat?
You must be making a lot of new friends at kindergarten.
I like staying home with Daddy better.
He's talking about Hyeong-woo.
Right.
Bi-an, you must really like Hyeong-woo... I mean, your dad.
Daddy is super good at drawing and cooking ramen.
But he keeps reading bedtime stories to me when I'm sleepy.
I see.
Bi-an, finish your dinner. We have to go home soon.
Yes, go on and eat.
- Hello, ma'am. - Where's Hyeong-woo?
He's organizing Bi-an's desk. No one's upstairs.
Eun-young took Bi-an to meet a friend of hers.
That is our picture.
That is a picture of Eun-young and me.
Can you give us some space? I have something to say to Bi-an.
Come here.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Bi-an, how about we play a fun game?
A fun game?
You know what a shadow is?
I know.
A shadow is silent and has no face. And it follows you everywhere, right?
Right.
I will be your shadow from now on.
In other words, if we meet, you can't tell anyone about it.
And you pretend not to know me in front of other people.
Because a shadow is silent and has no face?
Right. You're such a smart boy.
Can I talk to you when it's just you and me?
Of course.
Can you promise me? Man to man.
I promise.
Let's go.
Bi-an, what did you talk about?
I promised not to tell.
Well, get in.
Bye, Bi-an.
Bye bye, mister.
Bye.
Thanks for coming out.
It'll be the last time.
I don't expect you to understand me. Just don't interfere.
Fine. Go on. He's waiting for you.
Coming from somewhere?
Just out.
Bought a toy for Bi-an?
Mister gave it to me.
Mister? He talking about your brother-in-law?
Yes.
Well, I hope your toy's a lot of fun.
Daddy!
Go on up. Hyeong-woo's dying of boredom.
We're going.
Sorry for leaving you behind. It won't happen again.
Bi-an is dirty. Wash up when you come home.
I am not dirty.
I agree with your father.
See? Right here.
Hello, it's Na-kyeong.
Hi. Why'd you call?
Are you really adopting Bi-an tomorrow?
And if I am?
I can't help thinking it's too sudden.
Too sudden?
I mean, it hasn't been that long since they got married.
I think it might be wiser to wait things out a little.
Even I got pregnant.
I could introduce my friend to Eun-young. She can help.
I guess being pregnant is bringing out the real you.
Excuse me?
You're so transparent. Just like your mother-in-law.
Don't misunderstand me. I want to help Eun-young.
If you say so.
I'll tell her to reconsider one last time. Satisfied?
Yes, ma'am.
What you up to?
Ah, hello, Mother. You need me for something?
Dear girl, you're not going to lift a finger. I'm giving these to you.
What is this?
It's not a family heirloom like Sis's ring, but it's my most prized treasure.
What is it, Mother?
This.
Tada!
Aren't they too cute?
They are. Whose are you they?
Whose? Jeong-woo's, of course.
You've kept them all these years?
This isn't all. I kept every certificate, every journal.
That's impressive.
Those I'll give to our grandchild when he's older.
I'll say, "Just be like your dad. No more, no less."
Why do you look like that?
It's nothing, Mother. Thank you.
- Hold on a sec. - Sure.
Hey. News travels fast.
You already heard? I'm gonna be a grandma.
Of course I feel great. Isn't that a given?
No, Mother. I won't let my child grow up to be a hypocrite like your son.
- Hey, welcome home. - Hey. What is that?
Mother's most prized treasure, your old stuff.
Remember any of it?
She kept all of this?
She even has every certificate and journal of yours.
I'm not sure I can do the same for our child.
You'll be a great mother.
Thank you. I hope so.
Where's Mother?
She's talking to a friend. Did you eat?
I did. It's past dinnertime. Can I get something cold to drink?
Sure.
That obnoxious woman was green with jealousy when she saw my ring.
Ho-gu!
Yeah?
Some fruit and a penny for your thoughts.
Thanks.
Did you talk to Eun-young today?
Earlier in the day. She was so happy about adoping...
I imagine.
You know what? You're acting strangely.
What do you mean?
You were against the adoption this morning. Why so quiet now?
What are you up to?
What?
- We're home. - Yes we are.
Come on in. So tell me? What are you hiding?
Look...I'm not hiding anything, alright?
Mom, what's Dad hiding?
Maybe...an affair?
Don't be ridiculous. I'm the only woman in his life, got it?
So all wives mistakenly believe. It's their greatest blindness.
What's that?
Ah! Wow, Mother. Your ring's especially blinding today!
It must be heavy. Real heavy. Getting any hand cramps?
I can deal with heavy. Thanks for your concern.
Sweetums, your mother is so easy to deal with.
I know. This is bad. She really likes that ring.
Shh!
Hello? Mr. Hwang Jeong-gu? It's Seo Eung-young.
You haven't forgotten about signing your release papers tomorrow, have you?
No, I'm not accusing you of anything. Just reminding you.
See you tomorrow.
I see you've been playing instead of washing?
Yes.
Bi-an, turn around. One, two, three, four, five.
You were having fun with Daddy? Huh?
Bi-an, shall we make one for Daddy, too? What do you think?
More for Daddy? How about it?
You're leaving now?
Yes.
Good luck.
Shin-woo, you going to work? I'll walk out with you.
Where are you going so early?
Did you forget? We're adopting Bi-an today.
So you're gonna make my brother a fool and do what you want, eh?
It's too early for this. Get to work.
Mom!
I said, enough!
I'm sorry.
For what?
I gave my permission. Go get it done.
Why aren't you going?
I'll see you later, Mother.
I'm letting him go for far too cheap.
Should I have gotten more out of Kang Jeong-woo?
Wait...then he might beat me up again. No way!
Mr. Hwang Jeong-gu?
Please leave a message...
Mr. Hwang, this is Seo Eun-young. I'm waiting where we promised to meet.
Are you stuck in traffic? Please hurry. I'll wait until you get here.
Come in.
How'd it go?
Mr. Ahn came for Hwang Jeong-gu like you predicted.
Did he now?
How'd you know Mr. Ahn would show up?
Who says I knew?
But you told me to wait until noon and bring Hwang if Mr. Ahn didn't show up.
What's Manager Han up to?
He's looking into the Busan branch.
Specifically what?
How much local businesses make off of tourists.
Whether it could be a temporary rise
due to the current state of the yen exchange.
He has a lot on his plate. Let's see if he can handle it.
What about the thing I asked you to look into?
I'm working on it,
but there's not enough information and it happened so long ago.
I'll keep trying.
Alright. Do that.
Yes, sir.
This is boring, Bi-an.
Other dads are good at making things.
I am good at it, Bi-an.
Why are you two ignoring the snacks?
Daddy is making me a castle.
Why waste your time on this? Eat your snacks instead.
Hyeong-woo, did you hear me?
Dads are good at everything.
It's Mr. Ahn.
Thanks.
Hello? Yeah?
Good work. Bye.
Mr. Hwang?
Yup, it's me.
Hello. Where are you?
Look, sorry to do this to ya... but I'm on an important business trip.
Why are you doing this? I'll wait, no matter how late.
Look...It's an important trip to China.
Thought you might wait overnight if I didn't call you.
Sorry about this.
Mr. Hwang! Hwang Jeong-gu! Did Kang Jeong-woo put you up to this?
Hwang Jeong-gu!
Please leave a message...
What is it?
Mrs. Seo Eun-young is here to see you.
Let her in.
So this was it, huh? After putting me off guard yesterday?
What is it now? Did something happen?
Hwang Jeong-gu didn't show up today.
Have a seat.
So you came rushing here because you think I'm behind it?
Aren't you?
I told you, Bi-an is no longer a concern of mine.
Like you said, I didn't even know he existed.
He's not a part of my life.
And no one will ever find out if we both keep the secret.
You saying... that... you really had nothing to do with today?
I'll say it again.
Bi-an is Hyeong-woo and your son. Not mine.
I'll be more honest. I could care less who you adopt.
My one and only concern is the baby growing inside of Na-kyeong.
Isn't this what you wanted?
You're right, it is. Thanks for telling me this.
I'll apologize if it really wasn't you. I won't drop by like this again.
I'll find out about Hwang.
He's probably after more money.
No, I'll take care of it.
Let me help. I'm Hyeong-woo's brother and Bi-an's uncle.
Bye.
Ms. Yun, it's me. Does Jeong-woo have a dinner engagement tonight?
No, there's nothing in his schedule as far as I know.
I see.
It's been real quiet all day. Other than Mrs. Seo stopping by.
Wait. Who stopped by?
His sister-in-law, I believe.
Mr. Ju introduced me to her last time. She's his sister-in-law, too.
Today isn't the first time she came by?
Yes.
Alright, she must've dropped by after shopping.
Thank you. Bye.
They even meet at the office...?
I'm back, Mother.
Took you long enough. How did it go?
What's wrong?
Hwang Jeong-gu didn't show up.
What? Why?
He says he has a business trip, but I don't believe it.
I see. Maybe we should wait until he gets back.
I think he's lying. He doesn't want to give Bi-an to me.
Don't worry about it. Bi-an's with us. We can always file the papers later.
You're right.
Go get some rest.
Okay.
- I'm home. - Jeong-woo, you're late.
Yeah. Where's Na-kyeong?
She's not doing so well.
She skipped dinner and won't come out of the room.
Is she sick?
Just feeling the pressure, I guess.
You've never had a child so you can't even imagine.
Soon there will be morning sickness, and you won't have a moment of peace.
- Looks like you're looking forward to it. - You got me.
Go in and cheer her up, okay?
Okay.
Did you eat?
Yeah. Do you want some gruel?
Or are you craving anything? I'll go buy it.
No, I'm fine.
You sure? Then get some rest.
- Sweetie? - Yeah?
Can you skip going to the study today?
Sure.
Wonder how the adoption went?
Is Bi-an's officially our nephew? I'd better congratulate her.
Call her later when you feel better.
I am feeling better.
Eun-young? It's me.
Congratulations! How does it feel to be a mother?
Oh... you serious? So that happened.
He was probably just busy. Yeah, don't worry. Okay, bye.
Oh dear.
What is it?
She didn't file the papers. Bi-an's father didn't show up.
Is that so?
Did you know about this?
Me? How would I know?
Of course you didn't know. You were at work all day.
Eun-young must feel terrible. She was really looking forward to it.
You're looking a lot better. Want something to eat now?
No, it's okay. I'll just go grab some fruit.
I'll get it.
I'm pregnant, not disabled.
He doesn't show interest in unfamiliar things,
but is active in everything concerning Bi-an.
Please leave a message...
Mr. Hwang, this is Bi-an's mother.
Have a safe trip and call me when you get back.
I'll be waiting.
Dear?
