Yes. Let's adopt Bi-an.
What is it?
Why does it sound to me like you're forcing the words out?
I'm just tired is all.
Either way, thank you for doing what I want.
Go get changed. I'll draw your bath.
Okay, thanks.
Ah, my father's waiting to talk to you. Give him a call.
Will do.
Good night, sweetheart.
Hello, ma'am.
- Where's Sis? - Excuse me?
Are you deaf? I asked you where she is!
What are you doing here so early?
Sis, it's me.
If this is about Jeong-woo, don't bother.
Sis!
He's already been dismissed. There's no overturning the decision.
Sis, please reconsider.
You don't plan to leave the company to a complete stranger, do you?
Aren't Jeong-woo and I strangers?
Sis!
Go home. I don't want to see you or your son.
Goodbye then.
Don't just stand there. Get me a cup of tea.
Okay.
What is it?
Did something happen to Jeong-woo?
He's no longer president of Dream In.
Why are you so interested in Jeong-woo?
I'm not.
Why didn't you have revenge on Jeong-woo?
I would loathe him if I were you. Or do you still have feelings for him?
Na-kyeong...
Then again, you're such a nice person, revenge isn't easy, is it?
Since you refuse to do it, I'll do it for you.
Don't be too grateful.
A wife's responsibilities include keeping her man in line.
This is so weird. There's not a single customer.
Mother! We need more than a single customer!
Man, I'm starved.
Welcome. Come on in!
Huh, it's empty.
Must not be very good. Let's go somewhere else.
What the..! What's going on?
Hey!
Honey!
Did you really do your research on this restaurant?
Of course! I came here several times. It was always crowded.
Then how could this happen in one day? Maybe our name is too weird.
Mother, don't say that! Thunderbolt will be insulted.
Bad news! Terrible news!
What's the fuss? A war break out or something?
Worse! We're ruined!
What?
The previous owner was real dirty. Hair in the food, bugs, you name it!
Everyone in the neighborhood knows enough not to eat here!
Are you serious?
That's complete nonsense! This place was always crowded.
That was all an act.
The owner brought in all his relatives to act as customers!
What?
That makes no sense. We made so much yesterday.
Half were our personal guests.
The others came because we cut our prices in half for the first day.
I knew it. When did you ever do anything right?
Where are you going?
Sitting around on our laurels won't help. I'm going to go look for a job.
Yesterday I was a bundle of good luck.
Mother, where did you go without telling me?
Huh? Just out. Where's Jeong-woo?
He's still sleeping. You should eat first.
That's not like him. You sure he's not sick?
He's probably really exhausted. Eat first.
No, I'll eat with him when he gets up.
But you skipped breakfast, too.
I'm starved.
Jeong-woo, you're up.
I'm so hungry I woke up.
Good. Mother hasn't eaten yet either.
Why didn't you eat?
How can I when you're not eating?
Wow, this is good. Mother, we're going to adopt.
Did you say adopt?
Why are you so shocked? You want a grandchild, don't you?
What I wanted was a real grandchild. I'm not sure about a stranger.
What if you already know him?
What do you mean?
Nothing. Never mind. I'll explain later.
Okay, let's think about this carefully. For now, let's eat.
Back to work already?
Yeah. I talked to your father. Thanks for helping.
That's what married people do.
Yeah.
Will I finally get to be a mother?
Bi-an is still just a child. Please don't treat him otherwise.
Otherwise? Don't tell me you're afraid I'll abuse a child.
No, not exactly.
Forget about the adoption.
I don't want you overreacting every time he cries, thinking I'm behind it.
I know that you'll raise him well, better than anyone.
I didn't mean to offend you.
I know you don't trust me entirely. And I know why you agreed to bring him.
But I'm going to do my best. To keep my family together.
Alright.
His mother won't let him go easily. And then there's her mother-in-law.
Can you handle it?
I'll take care of it.
Okay then. I'll start preparing for his arrival.
Work hard.
Hello, Mom. Why are you home at this time?
The others can handle things. You really gonna let that sly fox stay?
Mom.
Don't 'mom' me. She came to Bi-an's kindergarten again yesterday.
Yesterday?
I don't know what she did, but Bi-an won't say a word about it.
His teacher told me his father and some woman came to play with him.
Alright. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Hyeong-woo.
Where did you go yesterday?
I know you don't tell lies. Tell me the truth.
I promised Bi-an. I must keep my promise.
What about your promise to me?
Did Ms. Song suggest you go see him?
Hyeong-woo!
I want to live with Bi-an.
So now you're using Bi-an to get closer to Hyeong-woo?
Is that so wrong?
Yes. Those two really love each other. They mustn't grow more attached.
So please don't take him there again.
You're acting like you never used Bi-an in the same way before.
What did you just say?
Stop acting so self-righteous.
It's nauseating.
That's it. Please leave.
You'll get in trouble for this. Won't you regret it?
I won't.
Did you not hear what I said?
What's going on?
Nothing. Nothing important.
Where's Hyeong-woo?
Upstairs.
What's going on?
Ma'am!
I'm afraid I have to say goodbye.
Thank you for everything.
What are you talking about?
I told her to stop coming.
Why?
I asked you why.
She's of no help to Hyeong-woo.
Can you give us some privacy?
Sure.
She isn't someone you can fire. You know that.
Mother.
If you want to replace me, at least choose someone who truly wants to help him.
What is this nonsense you're spewing?
I'm sincerely asking you.
We'll talk about this later.
You're overdoing it.
Excuse me? Ma'am, Eun-young's the one...
You've already done enough harm.
I was just trying my best.
I told you to gain my son's favor, not try to get rid of my daughter-in-law.
But... I just...
Overdo it and you'll get hurt. Be careful from now on.
Yes, ma'am.
You're excused.
Hello?
I'm at the coffee shop near your house. Come out. Don't ask why.
I have something important to say to you.
I'm surprised you're here.
I heard what happened.
So it was curiosity? You came to see how ruined I am?
How do you feel? Satisfied?
Honestly, I'm at a loss since I had no part in it.
That's not true. You committed a grave sin against Na-kyeong.
You called me here to talk about that again?
I no longer have any ties with Hyeong-woo's family.
There's no need to leave that family if you don't want to.
Why are you laughing?
I'm the one who's married, yet others think they can tell me to leave or stay.
Anyway, thanks for your permission.
In exchange, I'm taking Bi-an.
What did you say?
You heard me. I'm going to raise him.
I'll pick up the tab. Goodbye.
Sit.
Listen instead of responding emotionally.
You crazy?
You know why Na-kyeong wants him yet you want to take him?
I can't let you.
I'm not here for your permission. I'm his father.
You said yourself you have no ties with him.
You don't even like him.
Don't blame me. If you hadn't hurt her, this wouldn't be happening.
I told you, it was an accident. We caused the accident together.
And she'll never have children again because of your little accident.
Kang Jeong-woo!
I'm not going to waste any time.
I'm going to go ahead once all the papers are ready.
If you hold out, I'll sue for custody.
You should prepare yourself. I'd appreciate it if you just allowed it.
Do this and Hyeong-woo's mother will find out everything.
You once told me, you fear nothing if you have nothing to lose.
That's exactly how I feel.
I'll leave. I'll take Bi-an and disappear. Is that what you want?
Fine, I'll leave right now.
Don't bother. It's too late for that.
Says who?
I'll say it again. Bi-an has no relations to you.
- You have no right to him. - And you do?
You chose to stay with Hyeong-woo when Bi-an was kicked out.
Do you have the right to be his mother?
Technically speaking, neither of us knew he was alive.
No! Na-kyeong wants him to have revenge on me.
She promised to raise him as her son.
And you believe her?
More than I believe you.
No! Jeong-woo!
Please listen to me. You mustn't do this!
Let go of me!
Please reconsider, Jeong-woo!
Don't, Jeong-woo. Listen to reason!
It's already been decided.
Hear what I have to say. This isn't right!
Shin-woo!
What a lovely sight. In our neighborhood, nonetheless.
Don't overreact.
No need for that. You two already painted a good enough picture.
Shin-woo, don't misunderstand. Let me explain.
Don't misunderstand what? That you two are here together?
That you were just begging my brother not to go?
Kang Shin-woo, that's enough!
Don't raise your voice at me!
Did you forget? I'm no longer your sister.
Kang Shin-woo!
Shin-woo!
You'll take Bi-an over my dead body. That's the only way you'll take him.
Shin-woo!
Shin-woo, let me explain.
Not another word! What lie will you tell next?
You terrify me. One moment you beg me for Hyeong-woo's sake.
The next you're meeting Jeong-woo!
Don't you feel sorry at all to Hyeong-woo?
What's all this ruckus?
What's going on?
Part of this is your fault! You should've been more cautious.
All you wanted to do was give Hyeong-woo what he wanted.
Stop talking in riddles. What are you saying?
I can't believe this!
Let's try to keep this house quiet and peaceful.
Yes, Mother.
I know you're probably enjoying this, but please just leave today.
I was just about to leave. Goodbye.
I'm really running out of time. But I still have so much to do.
I haven't finished anything yet. I have so much to do for you.
Sleep.
Eun-young, time to sleep.
You terrify me. One moment you beg me for Hyeong-woo's sake.
The next you're meeting Jeong-woo!
Don't you feel sorry at all to Hyeong-woo?
Bi-an, you don't like chicken?
Chicken makes me itch.
What a coincidence. Jeong-woo is allergic to chicken, too.
I am.
What did you find?
President Kang is lying low.
Jeong-woo? You know I wasn't asking about him.
I told you to find out about Eun-young.
Her educational background and such are pretty much what you already know.
What about relationships before marrying?
Tell me. Don't leave out a single detail.
She lived with a man for a year. Her family doesn't know.
She did? What kind of man?
At the time he worked for a spring water company.
His name?
If you found out the company, you should know his name.
The thing is... it's been so long.
And he was a part-timer. There's no information left.
I fear you're getting rusty.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize. I have another job for you.
I'm listening.
Remember Bi-an who used to live with us?
Of course.
I want you to do a paternity test with Bi-an and Jeong-woo.
Ma'am! That's..!
Don't question me. I want the results by tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Why's no one eating any fruit?
You actually feel like eating?
I know. We're about to lose all our money. Why are you so calm?
We have to work together at times like this.
Now's not the time to ostracize. That's not family.
Sir, you are wise and generous. Deep like the ocean!
But this time you were careless. What do we do now?
I didn't expect anything like this, so I'm at a loss, too.
But we have to make it through. We will, don't worry!
I thought things were working out too well.
Much too well for it to be my life.
Mother, have faith.
If you were my son and not so old, I'd knock you to the moon.
Not good enough?
Would you like to take a few swings at my butt?
Or I could quack like a duck.
Let's laugh it off.
We'll work our butts off and draw in the customers.
Dad, you're right.
How's this for a punishment?
If your father-in-law gives you carte blanche, will you be president again?
No. I'll never work beneath that woman again.
Then what?
I need Dodo Corp. to grant me carte blanche as well.
Dodo Corp.?
Yes. Only then will I have the right to take part in running the company.
And that'll put you on a level where you can fight the chairwoman.
But will Dodo Corp. take our side?
We have Mr. Kenta, but we'll need more than personal connections.
We have to make it happen.
Besides, I'm the one who completed the deal with them.
To them I'm someone they can't afford to lose.
What do you want me to do first?
Go to Japan tomorrow.
Scope out Dodo Corp. and report back to me.
I'll join you if necessary.
Yes, sir.
Thanks.
You realize I'll expect more than just drinks as thanks, right?
You'll take Bi-an over my dead body. That's the only way you'll take him.
Going somewhere?
Yup.
Where?
I have someone to meet.
Should I not ask?
Yeah.
Fine. Go on.
Ma'am.
The results?
Good job. Leave.
Didn't you hear me?
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing here?
I have something to tell you, ma'am.
No real need to be so polite.
I'm neither family nor your boss anymore.
Why are you laughing?
I was worried how I was going to tell you the truth.
But you just made it easier for me.
Get out if you're gonna ramble.
You no longer have the right to come here.
You already know that Ha Dong-hun isn't Bi-an's birthfather.
Aren't you curious who is?
Why? You gonna hire someone else?
I'm not interested. Get out.
But I'm sure you already have an inkling, don't you?
That's right. It's exactly the person you suspect.
I am Bi-an's father.
What?
Did I stutter? I said, I'm Bi-an's birthfather.
