[A Bird That Doesn't Sing]
[Episode 21]
Why is he so late?
He didn't even take his phone with him.
Should I go to the ice cream store?
No, I'll go out.
Don't cry, Min Ji. I'll make it all better.
I'll make it heal without a scar.
Trust me.
Where are you going, honey?
I spilled seaweed soup.
Go to the hospital, first.
She's crying.
I'll be back, honey. I'm sorry.
Oh my goodness, hello.
Too bad you spent all this time making something my husband won't even eat.
What do you think you are doing?
Listen carefully.
I won't ruin myself because of you.
My family will never break up because of you.
Perhaps you'll make it stronger.
I won't let you ruin the birthday party our family prepared.
Never.
Mom.
Yeah, Ha Nui.
What are you doing here?
You didn't see Dad?
I did see him, he'll be here later.
Let's go in.
It didn't hurt when they put the medicine on before?
It didn't hurt because you were holding my hand, Dad.
Oh Min Ji.
You have to be careful when you carry hot objects.
- Okay? - Okay.
Right, I wrote you a birthday card.
Yeah?
I wonder what kind of card it is.
Min Ji, press the bell.
Mom, it's Min Ji.
Dad, hold on. I'll get you the birthday card.
This wouldn't have happened if you had dinner with the kids.
Min Ji had to go through this because of you.
Come in and have dinner.
Thank you, Min Ji.
The shoes...
Is Min Ji okay?
I'm glad she's not badly hurt.
I ran into them out front.
I see.
You shouldn't have brought that.
I prepared a lot, since it's my husband's birthday.
Honey, let's go.
Everybody is waiting for you.
Then...
Did she leave?
She came to give you that?
[Mom]
Yes, it's me.
My daughter, where are you?
Hurry home, we have to cut the cake together.
[Ha Nui]
Yes, Ha Nui.
Why aren't you coming? Everyone's waiting.
Cutie Manager Chun, you have to come.
Today's birthday man and the head of our family...
I will present this cone hat to my father!
- Happy birthday, Father. - Happy birthday.
One, two...
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear father.
You must be hungry, eat.
I knew this would happen.
Mom, can I go next door and clap along?
You can't clap along with your injured hand.
Eat, otherwise, you'll wake up hungry.
Okay, I'll cut it.
Ha Nui, you can cut the rest.
How many of us are there?
If you don't eat, I'm going to clean it up.
Thank you for coming today.
I still have what you gave me last time.
Yeah, right.
That was such a long time ago.
You're working so hard, you need to eat a lot.
Come often to take food.
I'm sorry.
Why do you always say that you're sorry?
Please tell your mom thank you, and tell her to try some.
If I bring this, she won't be happy.
It's Father's birthday, I shouldn't be the one receiving a gift.
I just want to share the food, it's not a gift.
Ha Nui!
Mom, did you eat?
What are Min Ki and Min Ji doing?
Min Ki left?
Tae Hyeon and Manager Cha are leaving.
- I see. - Let's go say bye.
We can walk off the food.
- Okay. - Goodbye.
Okay, drive safely.
Should we go in?
We ate so much, let's walk a little.
Should we?
Go take a walk then. We should go in.
How did you find out that Min Ji burned herself?
You went to eat your birthday dinner there
and saw Min Ji with her burn, and came running out?
Oh Min Ji...
She's your daughter.
It's true.
Min Ji's my daughter.
You met with that woman at the Crystal Hotel yesterday?
I did.
Did you sleep with her?
No, honey.
You lied to me that you are going to a funeral.
You stayed the night at their house
and ate black bean noodles with them, and when we walked in...
you hid yourself?
I'll tell you everything.
From the beginning to the end.
I didn't know that she moved in next door, either.
When Yu Mi got into that accident, and I was in China, I had no idea.
I saw her for the first time on the day of Min Ji's presentation.
I told her to move because I can't live like this.
And I told her that I would take care of the kids.
She packed up all her stuff, and disappeared.
I thought I would go crazy thinking that I would never see the kids again.
That's why I convinced her to move back in.
And Min Ji wanted to eat black bean noodles with everyone
so that's why I went there.
That's all.
Why didn't you sleep with her at the hotel?
Min Ji's mom is very attractive.
What are you talking about, honey?
She went to your office
and saw my text to you
and came to that hotel.
I promise you I have no feelings for her, not even the slightest.
Never.
How could I have feelings for her?
You're the only woman for me.
I was so worried that you would have feelings for your ex-wife.
I'm sorry.
I thought that one day, your ex-wife and kids may show up.
Before we got married, I told myself that I would take care of your kids
if something ever happened to your ex-wife.
I can't think of you separated from the kids.
I will take care of your kids.
As long as you love me
I will protect my family until the end.
Ha Nui and Mom can't help me.
You're the only one who can help me.
Will you help me?
Yeah.
Thank you for trusting me.
I'll never betray your trust.
I can no longer let you go back to that house.
I'll make you get a divorce.
My goodness...
Your face is glowing.
You're glowing to the point that it hurts my eyes.
Stop joking around.
You should go for it when the time is right.
This is the perfect chance to get the Senator totally on your side.
How?
Gentle and respectable men like the Senator
go head over heels over pretty and lovable women.
Follow after me.
Men like women's neckline...
and collarbone.
Lastly, his legs will start trembling at seeing your beautiful round eyes.
What's so funny?
Why did you come alone? Where's Sung Soo?
I smell something fishy.
I smell it too.
Did you not wash your hair again?
It doesn't smell at all.
Your sense of smell is just too sensitive.
Okay.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Honey...
Can you put this on for me?
You're making a busy person like me do that?
Honey.
Seriously...
What's wrong with you?
Here.
Okay.
Honey.
May I get a ride in your car?
Did you get drunk again?
Do you even remember where you parked your car?
Hey, stop underestimating me.
Think of it as payment for setting you up.
Give me a ride.
Let's make it clear, I never asked you to set me up.
You're the one who wanted to set me up, am I wrong?
- You're right. - So, I don't owe you anything.
Okay.
I'm going.
That lawyer, I can never win an argument against him.
Wait for me.
I got a call from Bong Ja already.
This Saturday?
Yes.
Yeah, I know where that is.
I'll see you there then.
Yes!
Who is it that you're being so fake with?
My sister's best friend.
She always thought I was cute, saying I'm just like her.
What does that mean?
Cunning type?
Team Leader!
What's going on? What's all the commotion?
Ha Nui, I'm going on a blind date.
Really?
Congratulation.
This time, I'll get him to call me back.
I'm totally going to cater to him
until he completely falls for this Seo Bong Sook.
Yes!
Did you get to make birthday dinner for that person you respect so much?
Who is it? The guy from the cooking class?
You know that we have a meeting coming up, right?
Get ready for the meeting so there are no mistakes.
Would you like to meet me for tea today?
You're exhausted from overworking and stress.
I'll prescribe some medicine, so you can sleep.
Yes, Yu Mi.
Dad, I got a call from Min Ki's teacher.
She can't get in touch with Mom
so she wants me to come see her.
Can you go instead?
Okay, I'll go.
- Don't worry about it. - Okay.
Why is Mom not picking up her phone?
This is our bedroom.
This is the guitar that my husband used to play with my son.
They used to love playing together.
I've been wanting to invite you over, and I finally get to do it now.
Did your husband come home last night?
He couldn't stay for dinner because something came up.
You mean he couldn't come
because he was having birthday dinner with his family?
I want to thank you.
Because you left, our family is living very happily right now.
When did you find out?
You said you want to get remarried, right?
- Will you get remarried alone? - I heard you do a lot of volunteer work.
Are you kind enough to share your husband?
Share my husband?
There's no sign of him being here.
Are you that desperate that you wanted to show off?
Do you know what this is?
This stuffed animal has the initials from Crystal Hotel etched on it.
What about the stuffed animal they give out to guests on their birthdays?
I told them about it, you didn't bring it home?
You can't even buy it with money.
I wanted him to remember last night forever, so I asked the hotel in advance.
You can't imagine what we did in this hotel room.
As one woman to another, I feel so bad for you.
You used my name and pretended to be me.
Is that how desperately you wanted to hang onto him?
You tried that hard, and all you got back is that stuffed animal?
Why do you live like that, Ms. Chun Mi Ja?
- What did you say? - You only say you care about your kids.
Don't you know that your actions are hurting your kids?
Don't you dare talk about my kids.
I guess in your situation, you have no other choice.
That's all you've got to put forth.
Without the kids, if you just look at me and you
who do you think he will choose?
What makes you think that he'll choose you?
The kids that you took away from my husband...
We'll raise them well.
Stop doing things to hurt them.
Just leave.
How dare you tell me to leave.
Then I got no other choice.
I'll make you leave.
If you think you can withstand everything, try.
It's me, Hong Soo Yeon, from Soo Yeon Cosmetics.
I need to run a background check on someone.
The faster, the better.
Okay.
Min Ki is not doing so well.
I feel ashamed.
I didn't call you here to hear that.
I just feel bad watching him from the side.
He needs someone to open up to, and communicate.
He's completely shut off.
When I look at Min Ki, he's like a ticking bomb.
If you want, I can recommend you to a treatment center or a counselor.
Would you like to go?
Let's have a basketball game.
Come on.
Min Ki.
Thinking about it, I never got to thank you.
Thank you for taking care of Min Ji in my place.
It must have been hard enough on you.
It was hard taking care of your little sister, right?
From now on, I'll take care of you and Min Ji.
Trust me, and follow my lead.
Mom's been through a lot until now all by herself.
From now on, you live with me.
Let's live together and play guitar all we want.
Come live with me, Min Ki.
What's that?
This is from Min Ki's dad.
Enjoy.
- So good. - Yeah, it's really good.
Dad, did you get to see Min Ki?
Yu Mi.
Thinking about it, the times when you had those nightmares
coincided with the time when Min Ji's mom moved in nextdoor.
It must have been so burdensome to hold onto a secret
that you couldn't share with anyone.
I feel better now.
Now, I don't need to go behind your back.
I have no choice but to live with my mom and siblings.
I talked to your dad.
I want to take good care of your siblings.
My mom doesn't want that.
Help me, Yu Mi.
My mom saved my life.
She almost died in my place.
If you were me, what would you do?
I can't betray her.
Don't be good to me.
I'm sorry.
Yu Mi.
Yu Mi!
What brings you all the way here?
You should have come in.
- How have you been? - You sent us so much meat yesterday.
We wanted to thank you for never forgetting
and sending us gifts every year.
I hope they catch the culprit soon. You must be very concerned.
I'm worried about Yu Mi.
Did that victim say anything?
Like ask for a big reward?
What?
I heard that hit and run guy circled around this area four times.
It's like she knew an accident would happen then and saved Yu Mi.
It seems very suspicious.
Did you look into it?
Seven years ago
Cha Mi Ja stole 4 billion won from an elite association and ran.
The one who introduced her to the association
swept it under the rug to keep quiet.
Find out more about that woman who introduced her to the association.
I need to meet her.
Make me leave?
You mistook me for a fool.
How dare you...
I'm glad to see you.
I was about to call you.
Who's the new landlord?
The lady nextdoor, the head of Soo Yeon Cosmetics, wants to buy it.
- Who? - She was close to the previous owner.
They must have come to an agreement.
How much is that house?
I'll pay more, so tell her that I'm buying it.
We're not talking about some little money here.
I don't care how much it is, I'm buying it!
I'm busy, call back later--
What?
Your ex-husband's wife, Hong Soo Yeon...
- She wants to meet me. - Why?
How should I know? She called me, so I'm going.
Your payment date is coming up soon.
Maybe because I'm getting excited
it's becoming hard to hold my tongue.
I hope I don't make a mistake.
You're asking me to keep your mouth shut?
You know the date is fast approaching, right?
Tell me if you don't think you can meet the deadline.
I need to find another source of income if you can't pay me back.
Your damn tongue can make 5 billion won disappear.
Watch your mouth if you don't want to ruin the master plan.
Master plan? What master plan?
Like you said, I'm not too smart, so I can't guarantee anything.
Let's talk later.
Hey, Jo Dal Yeon!
The phone is turned off...
This is Jo Dal Yeon.
I will see you at that location at 3 o'clock.
Okay, I will see you later.
The new product is doing even better than we thought.
We asked for Seoul Dermatology's cooperation
and asked a hundred patients with eczema
to rate the new product.
It's very positive.
Most people thought there were little or no negativity.
I think we can start the online sales earlier than planned.
Yeah? I'll relay the message then.
Hold on.
Yes.
Really?
You found a witness.
- It wasn't him? - No.
In the beginning, he said he knew him, but he kept changing his story.
In the end, he came clean that he had lied for the reward money.
Are you sure he's not a witness?
He didn't know about this tattoo either?
That's how we caught him.
He was saying something completely different about the tattoo.
Okay, I understand.
Where is this jerk hiding?
I'm Jo Dal Yeon.
I'm Hong Soo Yeon.
It's an honor to meet you.
Congratulations on becoming one of the top 100 female leaders of Korea.
Thank you.
I'll get to the point since you're a busy person.
You know Ms. Chun Mi Ja, right?
I saw that you went through an ordeal seven years ago because of her.
I'm sure you know of my reputation.
I started at the bottom and climbed to the top all thanks to my credibility.
There was no ordeal.
Rumors spread really fast in this field.
- I wouldn't be here if that happened. - I know everything.
And I know you're still involved in elite associations.
Four billion won is a lot of money.
Actually, Ms. Chun Mi Ja got all that money ripped off.
So I'm in a bit of a dilemma.
But why are you asking me these questions?
It seems like an urgent call.
I'm sorry.
Yes, sir.
The tattoo looked like this.
You must be involved with the hit-and-run accident.
Let's go to the police station.
You better tell me the whole truth.
So all you did was do as she asked?
It was all Chun Mi Ja's doing?
As you said before
rumors spread fast in this field.
You think you can continue working after doing that to my daughter?
What is it that you want from me?
Send Chun Mi Ja back to Philippines.
I'll take care of the kids.
Send just that woman back.
Chun Mi Ja.
You underestimated Hong Soo Yeon.
You should have known better.
Did you see her? What did she say?
How much did you tell her?
You were stupid enough to tell her everything?
You called me stupid, but you are the one with the dumb brain.
What?
How about just letting that woman take your kids
and disappearing to Philippines?
Is that what she said? To send me back?
You should be a good mother for once.
They say mothers want the best for their children.
Don't you think that well-mannered woman will be a much better mother than you?
You've never even had your own kids, stop blabbing on.
Just wait, and take your money when the time comes.
Stop telling me what to do.
Get her!
Come here!
Let go.
Yes, this is Ilsan Mental Hospital.

I heard Ms. Chun Mi Ja just left a text and went on vacation.
Do you know where she might be?
My kids are home. Let me at least call them.
You should know your place.
Hong Soo Yeon, I'll show you what it's really like to go crazy.
