Unnie!
She said she was coming soon. Why isn't she here yet?
Ye Seul, it's me. Whereabouts are you?
I'm sorry, Jeong Han. What should I do?
Something suddenly came up with Hoon Goo, so I don't think I can make it today.
Really? It isn't something bad, is it?
I'm fine, so don't worry. We can meet again next time.
Oh, okay. Hurry up and go.
Mama.
What did my Eun Ae say?
There's no need to be disappointed, so I should cheer up? Okay.
Just because the answer is a little delayed, Ye Seul's mind isn't going to change, right?
Kidnapping
Episode 13
I understand you not liking Eun Ae's uncle, but this is going too far.
Why else would a pregnant woman leave a child and chase after you to the point her bottom is going to fall out?
Eun Ae's uncle said never to say anything, but it can't be helped.
You... when you pretended to do a group purchase but stole the prize by stealing someone's ID,
do you know why we quietly let it go?
It's all because of Eun Ae's uncle.
What... are you talking about?
Forget the other things, but the fact that she did that to fellow community members, I can't forgive her.
You know,
after having babies and being swollen all over, we cried together every morning at dawn while feeing our babies.
And when we were dying of pain from breast infection, we cried together.
And Yoon Ji, when she couldn't produce milk, we cried together as fellow nursing mothers.
Unnie, let's end the breast stories here.
Isn't this something we can report as fraud?
You'd know since you're a detective.
To sue over something like this is a little...
Jo Ji Yeong is probably deeply reflecting on her actions now, too.
So, are you telling us to overlook Ha Eun's mom's actions?
Truthfully, didn't you reveal it to get rid of Ha Eun's mom, too?
Back then, I was only thinking of setting things right.
And I never had any thought of suing her.
What are you talking about? If a person did something wrong, they should be punished.
That's a given.
I'm going to sue her right now. Right now.
You know,
that...
when Jo Ji Yeong was working in the patrol division, a grandmother showed up over stolen money that she made all day.
Actually, we could have just pretended looking for it,
but it appears Jo Ji Yeong searched throughout the whole neighborhood by herself.
But how could it be found? In the end, she emptied out her own wallet and gave it to her.
I think that's Jo Ji Yeong's true colors.
Think of this as a mistake she made under bad circumstances, and please be understanding. I'm asking you.
Did I ever ask him to defend me? Pointlessly getting involved...
Don't be like that and cancel your plans to meet Hoon Goo's grandfather.
If the two of them get broken up because of you, could you stretch out your legs and sleep peacefully?
Hoon Goo's grandfather
Seeing you like this, you look like a major league athlete. You look totally cool.
Hyung, you look like a major league athlete, too.
Hoon Goo!
Mom...
Are you really mad that Mom and Dad split up and didn't tell you?
Is that why you wanted to leave home?
I'm sorry for lying to you.
But I thought telling you when you were a little bigger
would be better.
Why?
That way, I thought you'd be less sad about it.
But... if I don't get to see Dad even when I grow up,
I think I'll be more sad.
Why wouldn't you be able to see your dad?
My son can see him whenever you miss him.
Really?
Really.
It's only that Mom and Dad are living separately.
Before, now, and in the future,
Dad is forever Hoon Goo's dad so nothing has changed.
Think about it. Even a long time ago, Dad went on business trips a lot and was busy and wasn't home.
It's similar to that.
Then I'm not getting a stepfather, too?
What are you talking about? Stepfather?
The downstairs Ahjussi even came to daycare in place of Dad.
I don't want a stepfather, Mom.
I like living with just the two of us.
I like living with just Hoon Goo, the two of us the best, too.
He is just Mom's friend, so you don't need to worry at all.
Noonim, I even got tickets, so you have time, right?
Mom, you're coming together, too, right?
Of course. Thank you.
Not at all. I get some fresh air because of Hoon Goo, too, so it's good.
Ah, why are you stalling?
You told me you found the bum who's flirting with my daughter!
Who the heck is it?
I'll tell you everything.
The man dating Hoon Goo's mom
doesn't exist.
Huh?
Hoon Goo, was the baseball game fun?
Ye Seul..
Sorry about earlier.
Not at all.
Mom, I'm hungry. Let's hurry up and go.
- Yes. Okay. - Oh, this.
Oh.
Were you... with them?
So Hoon Goo found out they were divorced.
If something like that happened, you should have told me first.
It wasn't something that was going to be resolved by telling you.
Then it was something you could resolve?
Hyungnim... I heard you led the one-day class at Hoon Goo's daycare. What was the reason?
That was because... Hoon Goo's father skipped out on it.
And Ye Seul was away because of a seminar.
The women were badmouthing Ye Seul for being irresponsible. Could I do nothing?
The class you ended up teaching wasn't supposed to be taught by Ye Seul noonim but by Hoon Goo's dad.
So what? What's the difference?
Hoon Goo was waiting for his dad.
I'm telling you because it seems like you're even thinking about marriage.
Ye Seul noonim has Hoon Goo, and you have Eun Ae.
It's not simply a man and a woman dating but a meeting of families.
Whatever decision is made, I hope you don't forget that.
The downstairs ahjusshi...
taught the daycare class instead of Dad.
I don't want a stepfather, Mom. I like living with just the two of us.
Could we... try starting over?
I'm not saying for us to get married right away, but like it was when we first met fourteen years ago.
Ye Seul noonim has Hoon Goo, and you have Eun Ae.
It's not simply a man and a woman dating but a meeting of families..
Sorry it's late.
If you're not sleeping, could we meet for a moment?
I heard from Min.
Is Hoon Goo okay?
I'm not sure.
Truthfully, hiding my divorce from my child wasn't only for my child.
I don't think I had the confidence to handle it.
I'm lacking as his mom. That's what it is.
Not at all. You are completely doing well as a mother.
Jeong Han, I want to be a good mother to Hoon Goo.
It won't be easy, but I want him to heal quickly from the wounds he got because of his parents' divorce.
But, after that day, I keep forgetting the fact that I'm a mother.
Our deciding to start over,
I want to say, "Let's stop."
The current situation is difficult, I know.
Like you say, you're a child's mother.
And I have a niece to take responsibility for.
For you and for me, they are as much a part of us as a hurt finger.
I'll make a lot of effort.
Then at some point, couldn't we possibly become a family that brings each other comfort?
If Hoon Goo needs another family other than me,
that would probably be my ex-husband.
I'm sorry.
I think I wronged you greatly all this time.
From now on, I won't cause you any more pain.
I'm sorry.
Hold your babies' legs gently, and bring them straight in front of them.
Stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch.
Stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch. Stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch.
Yes, we'll stop here today.
You worked hard.
Uncle, don't you have something to say to me?
I don't.
Ah, yes. Why isn't he asking me out on a date yet?
I've never been the first one to ask someone out to eat.
I'm not sure what to do.
Eun Ae's uncle, we should have some coffee.
I'm sorry, but I'll be going home first today.
Eun Ae, let's go.
Isn't he a little strange today?
If someone saw, they'd think he was dumped by a woman.
Does it have anything to do with what I saw last night?
What you saw?
I was coming in after having a beer with some friends,
but it looked like the detective and Hoon Goo's mom were having a serious discussion.
Their atmosphere was really odd.
By chance, what Ha Eun's mom said earlier about an affair...
- No, it's not true!- No, it's not true!
- It's not an affair!- It's not an affair!
What kind of reaction is this?
You know something, don't you?
Let's go to my house and have a cup of tea.
Wow! It's a shocker that Hoon Goo's mom was divorced, but a thing with the detective ahjussi?
But seeing how the detective ahjussi looked earlier, they probably broke up, right?
Seeing how quiet Hoon Goo's grandfather is, I don't think he was caught.
I wonder why it didn't work out?
How easy do you think it would be for a divorced mother with a child to date a single man?
Also, people will talk, and she would have to be cautious of what Hoon Goo would think, too.
I guess that's true. That's too bad.
I was hoping it would work out. They look good together.
Then should we help them out a little?
Whoa, you?
You're going to pretend to help them but then ruin them, right?
I'm not! Who knows? If the two work out, then I might even get some clothes out of it. (custom: new suit for successful matchmaking)
How about including Hoon Goo's mom in the spring picnic?
Let's try pushing them together until our bottoms fall out.
I'm kind of talented at helping other people date.
Okay, then I'll try getting in touch with her.
Hello? This is Ha Eun's mom.
Do you happen to have some time this afternoon?
Thank you for inviting me.
Hoon Goo was so happy after hearing about the picnic.
Come with us often on our outings from now on.
It might be hard since you're a working mom, but if we go together with our kids,
it's much easier than going alone.
Detective Cha, hurry up and come here! We called you for a meeting about the spring picnic.
Of course you'll go, won't you?
I'm sorry, but I have something... so next time.
All you do is spend time alone holed up in your house. What do you mean you have something?
Even I feel like dying because I'm pregnant and my insides are churning.
But I'm going to give Beom Soo some air.
Eun Ae is fighting a cold, too. I'll go next time.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think about Jeong Han coming.
I should sit this one out.
I will go next time as well.
You can't! That will totally ruin the plan!
Plan?
We can't have too few attendees.
There's a lot to prepare, too.
I see.
So Yeon, So Yeon.
Have you ever seen your sister riding a black SUV?
No, why suddenly a black SUV?
Your sister didn't go to her college gathering until dawn.
Then what did she do until then with whom?
It's definite that she was with a man.
I talked to a college friend this morning,
but she said she saw Ye Seul riding a black SUV after leaving the gathering.
Whoa. Did she really get a boyfriend? She's really skilled.
What skills? She needs to get back together with Hoon Goo's dad.
If I only knew the car's license plate number, I could ask Jeong Han to find out.
How can I catch this guy?
Last year, Beom Soo's mom made kimbap.
But this time, she's pregnant, so it might be too hard. How about ordering from a side dish shop?
Okay, that place is good.
Kimbap takes a lot of work.
Then what ingredients for the kimbap? Tuna, deal?
Our Cheol Min can't eat tuna kimbap since it's too fishy. How about cheese kimbap?
My Ha Eun can't eat cheese that well.
Then should we simply go with vegetable kimbap?
Please exclude the spinach, I can't stand it.
I don't like cucumbers. I'm about to throw up whenever I smell cucumbers these days.
I gave all the pickled cucumbers I made to So Yeon.
I made that sitting on my cushion until my butt went numb.
My Cheol Min can't eat carrots and celery.
He picks them out, so please exclude those.
If we take this and that out, there's nothing left but the pickled daikons.
How about fried tofu rice ballls?
But still, kimbap is better, Unnie.
Can't we get them both?
Then it's too much.
What do you think, Hoon Goo's mom? Kimbap, fried tofu rice balls, or mixed half and half?
Oh, it doesn't matter to me. Do what's comfortable for you.
Then let's talk about this again in the chat room.
Okay.
We're not deciding it here?
Since the lunch issue is an important one, we have to discuss it all night after putting the children to sleep.
What should we do about cars? I think we'll need two of them.
Let's take a taxi.
Since it's the weekend, there's a lot of traffic, and whoever drives will be wiped out.
If we bring the strollers and a lot of stuff, the taxi drivers don't like it.
If we take our cars, we have to worry about parking.
Should we just rent a van instead?
There's a service that rents it with a driver as a set.
Hoon Goo's mom, what do you like? Two cars, taxi, van rental?
It doesn't matter to me. I'll just go with whatever is decided.
Then let's go with discussing this again in the chat room, too.
It would have been really nice if Eun Ae's uncle could go too.
It's such a shame, isn't it?
Yeah, he's strong and has a good personality.
And since he's a detective, if someone picks a fight, he's secure to have around.
I want to set him up on a date, but I don't have any pretty friends.
I don't know about anything else, but he's so consistent and dependable.
If he gets married, he's definitely not the type to cheat or upset his wife.
He wouldn't know what cheating is.
The only problem he has is that he always plays by the book.
Hoon Goo's mom, since you were a college friend, you know him well, don't you?
Ah, yes, well...
I have a class, so I'll get going.
If there's anything I need to do, please let me know.
Yes, bye.
Seeing how her eyes were shifting,
it seems like she is wavering.
This isn't something that will get resolved in one time.
Let's keep getting close to her and keep pushing them together.
A part-time job at the mart won't be enough money.
This is our neighborhood!
An office assistant won't require any skills. Should I take the test at least?
If they're only hiring single people, they should have said so. What do they mean they can't hire me because I'm a mom?
Ha Eun's mother!
What brings you here?
Oh, I had something to take care of.
That's right. Your academy is near here, isn't it?
Yes.
If you have time, would you like to have some tea before you go?
-Enjoy.-Thank you.
It's hard for prep schools these days, right? There are so many around.
Yes, teaching children and running an academy are very different.
I started it because of my dad, but it doesn't really suit me.
Hoon Goo's mom, you're a total goody two shoes, right?
You didn't really go against your parents, and you probably got married after being introduced by parents?
Yes, how did you...
After talking to you today, I could tell right away.
You don't have a lot of personal opinions, and you try to please other people.
Before you got married, you were busy minding what your parents thought. And now you're going crazy caring what your child thinks. Right?
You didn't study fortune-telling, so how do you know so well?
I can sort of read people.
You know, women are like that.
Once you become a mom, your life almost becomes a sacrifice for your kids.
It does bring great joy, but sometimes it feels sad and unfair.
I read somewhere that if those feelings build up, ultimately it isn't good for the child.
I sacrificed for the sake of my child,
but that sacrifice can also become a burden to the child.
"Do you know what I did for you? How can you do this to your mother?"
"When did I ask you to do that for me?" Is that the kind of fight you're talking about?
That's right.
That's why I want to live thinking that my own life is as precious as my child at least from now on.
A mother has to be happy for the child to be happy.
Hyungnim, what are you doing?
What else? I'm changing Eun Ae's diaper.
Is Eun Ae Superman?
What?
Ah, I was thinking of something else.
What is this smell?
Eun Ae's baby food!
Hey, seriously.
Ah, it's all burned.
What are you thinking about that you forgot you put Eun Ae's baby food on the stove?
Pay more attention.
I don't think it's a good thing for Ye Seul and I to live above and below each other.
We can't help but run into each other. And with my personality, won't it be hard for me to control my feelings?
Are you thinking of moving?
I'm planning to visit a realtor tomorrow.
It's not bad drinking beer with my sister and not having a boyfriend.
Oh, you used to date so much. How come you're not these days? Isn't there anyone you're seeing?
I have someone I'm about to date, but I'm still watching him.
What about you? You have a boyfriend, don't you?
I'll keep it secret from dad, so tell me.
Why, you, too? What boyfriend?
Then, is there no thought of getting back together with brother-in-law?
No!
Then dad will have to give up. Seeing my sister who has never gone against dad's wishes is going this far.
I was really like that?
I've never gone against dad's wishes?
Of course. You were the icon of being a good daughter.
Starting from art, to college, job, and marriage, too.
- Didn't you do everything dad wanted you to?-Thta's true.
It's my life, but there's nothing that I chose...
Thanks.
Didn't you say you were busy because you have a match tomorrow?
Yeah, but there's something I wanted to be sure to say today.
Ye Seul,
let's d...
d-d-d... d—
Let's date.
Huh?
I said let's date. I wanted to say that today, too.
That's the only time. Not caring what other people thought and deciding what I wanted.
Even if I ask Ye Seul, she'll deny it.
How do I catch the punk who drives a black SUV?
It's a black SUV!
Building 107, Apartment 901.
Then it's Jeong Han's car.
Then are you saying that Hoon Goo's mom was at the detective guys' house?
That's right. What did I say?
I said that Hoon Goo's mom and Detective Cha were a little suspicious.
That day Jeong Han was in a car accident,
and he said he didn't see Ye Seul.
No, no, it probably isn't.
But I should still check.
Oh, Jeong Han, it's me.
I was wondering if I could borrow your car today.
Upsy daisy, Beom Soo, let's go. Don't cry.
Yoon Ji, why are you bringing a saucer to a picnic?
My Yoon Ji keeps crying if she doesn't have this these days.
Then as you say, the scale of your items are scary spectacular.
If someone saw, they'd think you were immigrating.
But I'm pregnant while already in a bad state from having given birth at an old age.
There are so many things to take care of.
If my bottom falls out when I go on this picnic, are you going to take responsibility?
Now, since our items are all packed,
we're just missing Ha Eun, Hoon Goo, and their moms, right?
Beom Soo, let's fasten your seatbelt. My good baby.
Now, let's go bye-bye.
If he rode with Ye Seul, then a hair would have definitely fallen.
What is this?
A person who was in a car accident at 1:00
passed a tollgate at 2:00!
Does this make any sense?
- Ah, this! - Chan Yool is with the Ahjumma.
- Hello. - Huh?
Wait, Grandfather, were you coming out of Detective Cha's car?
Ha Eun's mom.
Why did you hide the fact that Jeong Han is the punk dating my daughter?
Omo! How did you know that?
So it was Cha Jeong Han!
How dare he stab me in the back?
Oh, oh, Grandfather. Please calm down and listen to me.
Let go of this!
- Today, I'm going to finish off this rude punk! - Omo, Omo!
Hoon Goo's grandfather!
Omo, what to do? Omo, what to do?
Why are you answering your phone? Detective Cha, answer it please?!
Yoon Sook Unnie! Yoon Sook Unnie! Something terrible has happened!
Hoon Goo's grandfather found out all about Hoon Goo's mom and Detective Cha!
What? What do we do now?
First, we have to move Detective Cha somewhere! Hoon Goo's grandfather went in like he was about to do something terrible!
But why isn't this person answering the phone?
Detective Cha!
Oh.
You're leaving now?
- Why aren't you answering your phone? - Pardon?
Oh, because of Eun Ae, I put it on mute.
You have to go somewhere with us.
Pardon? Where?
- I'll tell you later. - Wait! Wait! Where? - Just get in.
Eun Ae! Eun Ae, Eun Ae!
- What are you doing? - Just get in! - Here's Eun Ae!
- What about Hoon Goo's mom? - Let's go first and tell her later.
If we stay here, something worse will happen.
The doors! Doors!
Rescue Rental Car
Let's do that later.
- Omo, Detective Cha! Detective Cha! It's wet here, so let's go somewhere else. - Pardon?
If you line everything up like this, it's too uncomfortable.
You have to put them in a square shape. Hurry up.
Ah, Miss Jo, did you drag me all the way here because there was no one else who could put the mats down?
Why would you think like that?
We thought it was a little, you know, to come to a picnic without the cafe president.
Since you're here already, enjoy yourself and leave a little later.
But... what about Hoon Goo's mom?
Ah, she said she'd be late because of work.
- What are you doing? Put the mats in a square shape. Kids are waiting. - Seriously...
Come on, come on.
Just because we hide him away for half a day, will it resolve anything?
We have to avoid the storm first. Seeing how he was reacting,
never mind our plans of getting them back together, Detective Cha will have to get himself a coffin!
You're right. Even just by looks alone, that grandfather's temper is probably no joke!
- You turned off Detective Cha's phone, right? - Yes.
I took it from him in the car without him knowing, and I turned it off.
With his personality, if he answers the phone, he'll walk right into the lion's den.
By the way, is Hoon Goo's mom still not answering her phone?
We have to tell her quickly in order to calm that grandfather down!
It's been turned off.
Maybe her phone is broken.
Is this the right place?
Mom.
My legs hurt.
Are you sure the picnic is here?
Yes, I'm sure.
Let's look for them a little bit more.
Why is the park so huge?
Just look for them a little more, okay?
I should take a picture of Eun Ae, too. My phone is...
Detective Cha, I'll take one for you.
He can never know that his phone is off.
Oh, it's okay. I'll take it.
No, take one with Eun Ae, okay?
Here we go. Should take a photo?
Oh! Eun Ae is so pretty!
Look over here! One, two...
- One more! - Oh, it's okay. I'll take it myself now.
Eun Ae's uncle, please take one of Beom Soo and me.
Ah, my wrists are hurting, so the camera shakes too much.
Me too! Take one of me with Yoon Ji!
Ah, let me take some for myself first, and then I'll take yours after.
Cheol Min, you come here, too...
Where did he go?
Cheol Min! Cheol Min!
Omo, Ha Eun is gone, too! Oh no!
Ha Eun!
Oh no! Did they disappear together?
- I was sidetracked with taking photos! Oh no! - Ha Eun!
Maybe they went to the bathroom.
First, calm down, and we'll look for them together.
You never know, so Yoon Ji's mom,
go to the park manager's office and ask for them to do a missing child announcement.
Also, they might come back, so Beom Soo's mom, you stay here and wait.
Unnie, Unnie! Please watch Chan Yeol for me.
- Let's go look. - Ha Eun!
Cheol Min!
Cheol Min! Cheol Min!
Ah, where did these kids go?
Maybe they found them.
What? Is the battery dead?
Why did Ye Seul's father call me?
Is there something wrong with his car?
- Ah, yes, Father. This is Jeong Han— - Where are you right now?!
Where did you run away to, huh?
What do you mean run away? What is...
Ok, I understand. I'll come over right away.
If you wanted ice-cream, you should have told me. What if you met some bad people, huh?
They went to get some ice-cream?
We found them standing in front of the store holding a 1000 won note.
At least we found them quickly. But is Detective Ahjussi not back yet?
Detective Cha. He's not so good, I guess.
Hello? Yes!
Yes, we found the kids. They went to get some ice-cream by thems...
Detective Cha! You're calling from your phone, right?
Where are you right now?
Oh no! I think he's on his way to go see Hoon Goo's grandfather!
Hello!
- Hello! Everyone was here! - Omo!
Hoon Goo's mom! You shouldn't be here like this! Something terrible has happened!
Pardon?
Sit down. I think there's a lot to talk about.
I'm sorry.
I lied about being in an accident that day.
I couldn't just standby and let Ye Seul meet with her ex-husband,
- so I took Ye Seul and— - Kidnapped.
You didn't take her, but you kidnapped her!
You knew how hard I worked to get my daughter her family back,
but you dared to stab me in the back!
And you ruined everything by kidnapping my daughter!
Look here, you bastard! You! You!
What did you do to my daughter after kidnapping her, you damn bastard?! Damn bastard!
Dad! Stop it!
I said stop. I ask him to.
I asked him to please take me somewhere because I didn't want to meet with my ex-husband.
Are you really... after throwing Hoon Goo's dad away,
intend on dating this punk?
I don't know how this Jeong Han punk seduced you,
but from now on, I'll take care of everything!
No. Whomever I meet or live with, that's for me to decide.
- It's not for you to meddle with! - What?
My life, my family, my child, I'm making my own decisions.
So please don't try to control me however you want anymore!
