Ex-excuse me.
Yes?
That guy who collapsed here. Is he dead or alive?
Excuse me?
You know, that man who collapsed here not too long ago.
The lady who works here tried to wake him but ended up running inside for help.
A man?
Yes, a man.
How old did he appear?
Well, I only caught a fleeting glance from my car.
He looked like an elderly man. It was so sad.
Lady!
Huh? What's the big rush? Where's the fire?
Who's the man who collapsed in front of the house?
Who?
The collapsed man you tried to revive by shaking.
Ah, I did shake him. That I did.
Tell me the truth, please.
About what?
That man... was it someone I know?
No! How could you know him when I'd never seen him before?
You'd never seen him before?
Th-that's right! He was drunk!
He was totally passed out like it was his bedroom.
I woke him up and chased him away.
That's right. Geez, why'd he fall asleep there?
You wouldn't lie to me, would you?
Of course not! Why would I?
Oh, I nearly forgot. The chairwoman wanted her tea.
What are you doing? You didn't even knock!
Ma'am, this is not good!
What?
Someone saw Bi-an's grandfather collapsed in front of the house.
Eun-young came in asking all kinds of questions.
What did you say?
I'd never seen the guy before. He was drunk so I sent him home.
Ma'am, what if she starts asking again?
So what?
Huh?
You woke and sent home a drunk man.
That's why you told her so when she asked.
Am I wrong?
No. You're right. That's true.
Can I have my tea now?
Ah, right.
It doesn't make sense. Why would she lie about that?
If he collapsed in the house, she'd have to explain what led up to that.
Hyeong-woo, I feel so nervous and uneasy.
Daddy!
Mommy?
What's wrong?
I'm just tired. You guys need to eat.
Yes.
Can you take Bi-an down to eat? I think I need some sleep.
Okay.
Thank you.
Daddy!
Let us go eat.
I'm at home. I have work too important to do at the office.
So you're not coming today?
I should stop by to reassure the hag that I'm not up to anything.
I'll be there at lunchtime.
Mother, are you going somewhere?
Why do you want to know? You gonna stop me from going?
Have a good time. I'll be late myself tonight.
Bye.
Are you free on the weekend?
Why?
My friends are having a couples' meeting. They want to see you.
Forget it. Go by yourself.
At least pretend to think about it.
It'll be uncomfortable for you, too.
What do you mean?
Never mind. Tell them I went on a business trip.
No, I want to hear this.
Let me ask you.
Why didn't you ever introduce me to anyone other than Ju-young?
There will be people who didn't come to our wedding.
And some will have attended both of yours.
I don't want them whispering about me.
You're right. I forgot. Forget I asked.
That's the only reason. Don't misunderstand.
Of course not. Get back to your work.
Alright.
Let's go to the hospital.
Yes, ma'am.
Pooky?
Yeah?
I'm feeling so heavy and bloated. Can you massage my feet?
Geez, you serious? Gosh!
Where? Here?
No, no. Higher.
Geez.
It tickles! Put some strength into it!
I'm tired.
Get out.
I said get out!
Huh?
Oh, oh, ma'am!
Hope you're holding up alright.
You didn't have to buy anything. I'm doing alright.
I just sit here and stare at him all day. Have a seat.
Thank you.
Goodness, where are my manners?
Here, have some of this.
Ah, thank you.
Are you still afraid of me?
Excuse me?
Last time at my house you said...
Oh, I did, didn't I? Just a tad...
Please, don't be. Underneath it all, I'm just a mother like you.
True. Not like you have a third eye or anything.
And you care dearly for your child, just like me.
Let's spend more quality time together, like you wanted.
We can eat out together and stuff like that.
Um, I didn't want to say this in case you took it the wrong way.
But I think my husband collapsed because of your plans to adopt Bi-an.
What I'm trying to say is... if he wakes up to find things unchanged...
he might collapse again, I'm afraid.
Ma'am!
Yes, I understand what you're saying. I'll think about it.
Huh?
I have to go to work now. I'll stop by again.
Okay. Take care.
You, too.
I didn't go into any details. So what's she gonna think about?
Did you check?
Yes.
What happened? I saw him move his finger.
Is he regaining consciousness?
That's certainly not impossible, but more likely it's just the nerves.
What do you mean?
It's a nerve reaction that shows up among some coma patients.
It's hope for the family, but it's not a real indicator of anything.
So you're saying he's not necessarily getting better?
That's right, as of now.
I see. Have someone check on him constantly.
I want a report if anything changes.
Yes, ma'am.
What is it?
The company that Cha Min-je owns, Mi-ga Ad Agency is...
Enough. Take care of it yourself. No need to report.
Would you like some Tylenol?
No. You keeping an eye on the hospital?
Yes. Don't worry about it.
Alright. You're excused.
What do you mean you want to cancel the project?
Well, that's just a lame excuse.
Fine, we refuse to do business with you, too!
What is it? Another cancellation?
What in the world? It's like they planned it together.
Three projects in production were cancelled one after the other.
Almost like someone's trying to screw us over.
It's not impossible.
On purpose? Who?
Never mind. Don't tell Shin-woo about this.
What?
Hey! Were you on your deathbed or something?
Quit if you're gonna be so irresponsible.
Min-je, that's too harsh.
Look at her face. She looks like she's been through hell.
Why didn't you call if you're sick?
Kang Shin-woo!
What's this?
I'll quit like you want. Both the job and being your girlfriend.
Come with me.
What's with you?
I'm sorry, Yeon-su,
So talk.
About what?
Why you showed up to resign after avoiding my calls and making me worry!
No reason. I'm just sick of it.
Kang Shin-woo!
Don't yell at me!
I thought I could accept your past with your first love.
I thought I could handle it.
But I can't. No, I have no reason to.
Just let me resign in peace.
When did you find out?
About what?
Did Na-kyeong tell you herself?
You dare say her name in front of me? Don't you feel bad at all?
I don't feel bad. She and I are nothing now.
Nothing changes because she's your sister-in-law.
Nothing changes, huh?
That's right.
Why not just apologize? Or should you be thanking me?
Just when you were fed up with your 20-year relationship with her...
dim-witted little me showed up and you could use me to drive her nuts.
Wow, you should be really grateful to me.
You really believe that's how it is?
You don't. So why talk like you do?
I'll take anything. If you need time, I'll give you time.
Even if you take a long time, I won't let go of your hand.
But if you can't bear to be with me, I'll let you leave.
You promise?
I do.
I'm a simple person who hates complications.
Before, I liked you and that was it.
But now all these strings come attached and it's complicated.
I can't handle it.
I can't handle all this pain. I want to end things here.
Alright. If that's what you want.
I'm sorry, Hyeong-woo, but I have to find out.
Otherwise, I won't be able to look your mother in the face.
Hello?
You can set up a meeting with Gong Chun-sik?
Now you're willing to believe me?
Then I want to meet him. I have to find out for myself.
No, I'll meet him alone.
- I want to go to the hospital with you. - I'm not going to the hospital.
There's something I need to know.
I shouldn't look into it but I can't help it.
So I'm going to find out.
But if you tell me not to go, I won't.
I'll let you decide...
Go on.
Go ask. Then you can smile again.
Okay. Everything will be okay.
After all, she's your mother. She gave birth to an angel like you.
Bye.
Hey there, Eun-young.
Don't say my name.
Let it all out. I deserve a beating.
No, I'm not gonna say anything.
You'll get your comeuppance when my father wakes up.
Today, I just want the truth. I want to hear the truth, that's all.
How is Ho-gu doing?
Right. I swear on my conscience... No, that means nothing to you.
I swear on my son that I'll tell the truth.
Ask away.
Go on, ask!
My friend Ho-gu's on his deathbed. What do I have to fear?
Do you know Chairwoman Shin of Dream In?
That I do. Too well.
She's the one who set things up so I'd scam your father.
I met with your father and told him everything.
I think he went to confront her. But she did something to him.
I don't know what she did.
But I do know that she's to blame for this occurrence and the last.
Hey, Eun-young. What brings you here unannounced?
Do you know Gong Chun-sik?
Gong Chun-sik? Why? Should I know him?
Yes. You should at least know his name.
After all, you paid him to ruin my father.
What?
I just met with him before I came here.
Oh, now I remember him.
He's the guy who ran away after scamming your father, right?
Now you remember?
Hold on. You said you met up with him?
Yes.
How?
I asked you how?
I don't think that's what's important here.
Oh, but it is.
If Jeong-woo is involved, and he's the reason you're accusing me...
I won't be able to forgive you.
Why? Am I right on target?
No, I...
What the hell are you trying to pull?
I thought I made it clear that Jeong-woo already threatened me about this.
You know what his intentions are yet you fall so easily for his tricks!
So I guess this means you trust him more than me.
That's not true, Mother! But Mr. Gong said...
What wouldn't that man do for money? He scammed your father for money!
Mother.
No more. Get out.
Now!
Come in now.
You call this handling it? Gong Chun-sik's on Jeong-woo's side now!
He already met with Eun-young.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Shut it! Go catch him now.
Hello?
You busy?
Yeah. What is it?
Even if you're busy, I need you to come.
What is it?
You'll see when you get here.
Cheers!
It's been so long.
Cheers!
- How have you been? - Hey, sweetie.
Come over here.
Everyone say hello. Last saw him at our wedding, right?
My husband, Kang Jeong-woo.
Hello.
I was at your wedding. The name's Hyeon Ju-hyeok.
Hello. I'm Kang Jeong-woo.
She kept you under wraps so long I'm glad to finally meet you.
You own Dream In, right?
No, not as of right now.
He's working as the representative for Dodo Corp.
Is that so? But I thought your mother was the Dream In chairwoman.
Of course, he's building up experience. She's very liberal about these things.
Anyway, it's great to see you. Na-kyeong talks about you all the time.
Same here.
They thought I hid you away because you had a third eye or something.
You're right. He's good-looking and capable.
How about a drink?
I'm sorry. I have to go back to work.
Don't have time for one drink?
Hand it over. I'll drink it for him.
Geez.
Happy?
Hello? Is that so?
Alright. I'll call you when I get back.
You seem busy. You should go.
He just got here. You can stay 30 minutes, right?
No, I have to go.
I'm sorry. I'll pick up the tab tonight.
- Thank you. - I'll see everyone next time.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Let's drink ourselves. It's cozier this way.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Let's drink. - Cheers.
Cheers!
Bye. See you next time.
How about another round?
How about letting the married women go home?
Yeah, cut her some slack.
Fine, fine. Go home.
Bye.
- I'll call you. - Okay. Bye.
- Take care. - You, too!
Hold on. Let's get some fresh air before we send you off.
Don't worry. I'm not drunk.
Na-kyeong!
Feels cool.
It does.
Did I make a fool of myself today?
Yeah.
Harsh!
Let's sit.
Min-je's in love.
You acting like this because of him?
No. At first I was mad and hurt, but not anymore.
I mean, I can't congratulate him but...
It's like losing a close friend. Silly, aren't I?
You realize that now?
You never loved Cha Min-je.
But I can't remember my childhood without him being in it.
I laughed and cried because of him. He was always by my side.
As a close friend. Like family.
Na-kyeong, how about letting go and starting over?
Letting go?
I mean getting a divorce.
No.
Why? You don't want to leave Jeong-woo?
I don't want to fail a second time. And...
And?
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you really love your husband?
I'm sure you do. You don't know how much you've changed.
Like today, you did the immature things that you hate just to get his attention.
Don't say anymore.
Remember when you first met him, you said he made your heart beat faster.
I never saw you like that before.
Ju-young!
Just think about it.
You say you want revenge but you're only hurting yourself.
You won't even consider the option of leaving him.
That's love.
And I say it's not!
I'm gonna go grab a taxi.
Na-kyeong.
Dad, you know the truth, don't you?
Please get up, Dad.
I don't know who to believe anymore. I'm so scared.
Hyeong-woo, what are you doing here?
I tried to sleep but suddenly I felt very sad.
Why?
Because you are crying.
Liar. How'd you know I was crying when you were at home?
I felt sad.
You're so strange.
Sir! Sir!
