(Episode 92)
Dal Nim, why did you want to see me?
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
I felt like I should be straightforward...
about how I feel in order to prevent you from getting hurt again.
You ran over to the kitchen earlier because...
you thought I was hurt. And I thank you for that.
But...
I want you to stop now.
Dal Nim, I don't expect...
I know you don't expect anything from me.
But there's nothing I can do for you.
So it's burdening to keep receiving things from you.
I'm also worried that you might get hurt.
I didn't mean to burden you.
You said you'll always stay by my side like a tree.
You said you'll block the sun for me,
and protect me from the rain.
But...
I don't think I can accept you...
because of Chef Jung.
The only reason I gave him back the ring...
was because of Ms. Yoon.
But he's already inside my heart.
I was able to realize my true feelings for him...
after he got hurt recently.
I understand what you mean.
Okay, then. We have a lot of things ahead of us,
so I won't burden you.
But let's still stay good friends, okay?
Of course.
I need to have good stamina in order to prepare for the audition.
I should work out. Honey, let's do that together.
Mother, I didn't ask him to do it.
I never said anything.
He's jobless,
so the least he could do is help you with that.
Se Na, why are you calling me?
Ruby? She's not home right now.
She hasn't come home from work yet.
What? Se Kang?
Okay, I'll try calling her right now.
Why? What's wrong?
What should we do?
Se Kang got into a car accident.
- He's in the emergency room. - My gosh.
What? He got into a car accident?
Ruby.
Why did you come home so late?
And why is your cell phone turned off?
I met a lawyer to consult him about my divorce.
Why? What's wrong?
Ruby, don't get too shocked.
Se Kang got into a car accident. He's at a hospital right now.
What? Se Kang got into an accident?
He was coming back to Seoul from Geochang on an express bus.
And on his way back, there was a multiple-vehicle collision.
What? Multiple-vehicle collisions are really big accidents.
My gosh.
Did he get hurt while trying to get me strawberries?
- Hey, Se Na. It's me. - What should we do?
A multiple-vehicle collision?
Where is he? Where's Se Kang?
Mom, calm down.
- Ruby. - Ruby.
What happened? Where's Se Kang?
Where's Se Kang? His name is Hong Se Kang.
We're here to see Hong Se Kang. He was involved...
in the multiple-vehicle collision accident.
Just a second. He'll be at the very far end.
Se Kang!
Se Kang, can you hear me?
Se Kang. Se Kang.
I never asked you to bring me strawberries.
Why did you go there?
Why did you have to get yourself injured like this?
My gosh, poor Se Kang.
- Mom. - Se Kang.
Ruby. What are you doing there?
Honey. Honey.
Why are you crying? Don't cry.
Se... Se Kang. Are you really Se Kang?
Se Kang, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine. I just got a scar on my forehead and sprained my neck.
I'm okay.
I'm so relieved.
I was so worried that something might've happened to you.
I'm fine. Don't worry.
Did you run over here because you were worried about me?
I didn't really mean it when I told you that I wanted you to die.
I know you didn't mean that. Don't cry.
But why did you suddenly go to Geochang?
Ruby loves strawberries. That's why I went there.
Even during the accident,
I was worried that they might get ruined, so I held onto them dearly.
Ruby, I picked out the best ones.
Honey!
- Honey. - Honey.
My gosh, that hurts. My neck.
Ruby.
How's Se Kang? Is he okay?
Mom.
Did something bad happen to him?
Mom, what should I do?
Did something happen to him?
What should we do? Did something happen to him?
What? He's fine.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
My gosh, you startled me. Ruby, why are you crying?
He's fine.
Mom, I don't think I can live without Se Kang.
I really can't live without him.
Then are you saying you're going to forgive him, and take him back?
You can't do that.
Mom.
Please forgive me just this once.
When the accident happened,
the first thing that came to my mind was Ruby.
I wasn't scared of dying.
I was just scared that...
I wouldn't be able to see her face before I died.
Even death won't be able to keep us apart. So please...
You heard him, right?
Se Kang's not even scared of death.
He said he'll choose me even in his next life.
How in the world can I break up with a man like him?
Ruby, you can't fall for what he's saying to you.
Anyone can say that.
Mom.
No. I won't allow that.
Mom, please. Mom.
Mom, what are you thinking about?
What? No, it's nothing.
Don't lie to me.
I know something's wrong just my looking at you.
Do you feel sick?
Or were you thinking about Dad again?
Dal Nim, should we have some soju?
Cheers.
- Don't drink too much. - Okay.
Here.
This reminds me of the old times.
You're right.
How's work?
I'm trying to develop a product by mixing...
Dad's meat-aging technique with mine.
And it keeps reminding me of Dad.
You should succeed for your dad.
I know I didn't approve of it at first,
but it's nice to see you follow in his footsteps.
How are Director Hyun and Se Na?
Do they leave you alone?
Mom, so many people are on my side now.
So Se Na doesn't even stand a chance on me.
I have you, Chef Jung, and Director Choi.
I also have Ms. Yoon.
Se Na won't be able to mess with me from now on. Don't worry.
- Cheers. - What are you guys doing?
I'm drinking because I couldn't fall asleep.
You should join us.
Is it okay for you to drink?
Just one glass is okay.
Getting tipsy also makes me feel good.
Back when I used to run a restaurant with Dal Nim,
we used to have some drinks together after work.
I asked her to drink with me for old times' sake.
You should have a glass too.
Should I? Then please pour me a glass.
- Okay. - I'll pour you a glass.
Cheers.
It's been so long since I drank soju.
I drink wine from time to time.
You're right. You'll rarely have to drink soju.
Is today your first time drinking soju?
No, back when I wasn't a famous actress yet,
and I was only getting minor roles,
I used to frequently drink soju by myself.
I didn't have any parents or siblings by my side.
So life was really difficult for me.
There was a time when I only lived because I was alive.
The soju I drank back then...
felt more like tears rather than alcohol.
I shouldn't have told you this.
No, it's okay. I didn't know you had such a difficult past.
The same goes for my mom.
After my dad passed away,
I woke up one day in the middle of the night.
And that's when I saw her drinking soju all by herself...
with her back turned to me.
I saw her tears drop into the glass of soju.
It was difficult to tell...
if she was drinking soju or her tears.
But I at least had you by my side.
Ms. Yoon didn't even have any parents or siblings by her side.
I can only imagine how hare it must've been for her.
I'm sure she went through a really hard time.
What are you guys doing without me?
- Hey. - You're home. You should join us.
- Would you like a glass? - Sure.
Thank you.
Everyone, let's clink our glasses together.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
The soju tastes sweet today.
I'm drinking with Dal Nim, Jae Wook, and Ms. Yoon.
I guess it's because I'm accompanied by wonderful people.
You're right. The soju doesn't taste bitter at all.
My mom used to sing every time she drank.
You must be a great singer, Ms. Kang.
Of course. She's incredible.
She always sang me a lullaby when I was young.
Even if I wasn't sleepy, I'd fall asleep...
as soon as she sang me a lullaby.
That makes me want to hear it too.
Me too. It's been a while since I've heard her sing it.
Then should I give it a try?
When mama goes to the mudflats
To pick oysters
- Her baby remains alone - Her baby remains alone
- And watches the house - And watches the house
- To a lullaby the ocean sings - To a lullaby the ocean sings
I said, I won't allow it!
Mom, what's going on?
What are you doing at my house?
I thought you and my aunt were done.
I can't break up with her like this.
You should go inside and stop Ruby from fighting with your grandmother.
Okay.
Mom, please forgive Se Kang just this once.
I'll beg on my knees. So please forgive him.
I said, no!
How do you expect me to forgive such a shameless person like him?
Ruby, she's right. We can never forgive him.
Aunt Ruby, what's wrong with you? Get back to your senses.
I'm perfectly sane right now.
Se Kang almost died because of me.
I really can't help but feel this way.
I really can't live without him! What do you expect me to do?
You can't take him back.
He fooled you and framed Dal Nim for something she didn't do.
There's no clear evidence to prove that she was framed.
That photo of Se Na wearing the bracelet isn't enough.
Aunt Ruby.
You're taking Dal Nim's side and trusting her...
because you like her. I'm doing the same thing.
I like Se Kang.
That's why I'm taking his side and trusting him.
You and I are no different.
So don't tell me what to do.
Ruby, don't get worked up. Calm down.
You shouldn't get angry like this.
I'm going to do whatever I want even if you don't give me your approval.
What do you mean?
If you don't give me your approval,
I'll move out of this house.
What did you just say? You're going to move out?
Are you trying to start a fight with me?
My gosh.
- Mom. - Grandma, are you okay?
- Mother, I'm here. - Ruby, I'm glad you're here.
Come here. Sit down where it's warm.
I installed a heated cushion for you.
It's warm, right?
I cleaned up the master room for you.
So make yourself at home.
I can sleep in Se Na's room.
I'm sorry for causing you inconvenience.
My gosh, don't say that. You're pregnant with my grandchild.
You're not causing any kind of inconvenience at all.
Please wait here.
Ruby, thank you for trusting me and my brother.
I really hope you're not the culprit.
Honey, Se Na and I are innocent. Please believe us.
Ruby, wait here.
Ruby.
You'll be able to trust us if you see this.
It's an email record.
It's evidence to prove that I was working overtime...
at the office on the day of the accident.
(Intranet email record)
You're right.
I knew it.
Everyone in my family is mistaken.
Se Na, please protect Sun Ho from losing his job.
Then our family will start trusting you again.
Yes, of course. Don't worry.
I'm going to make Sun Ho come back...
just like how you came back to us.
Were you still awake?
I have something to say to you.
Yes, go ahead.
I see you've kept that scarf with you all along.
I heard you like Dal Nim.
I heard that you even gave her a ring.
Yes, I like her.
I think I started liking her ever since she gave me this scarf.
What are you doing to do now?
I'm just so worried.
If you two weren't step-siblings,
I'd be more than happy...
to have you as Dal Nim's partner.
But...
even though you aren't related to each other,
you're still siblings.
Dal Nim doesn't even know anything about this.
And I'm worried that her feelings for you might keep growing.
I don't want her to get hurt.
Jae Wook, do you think you can stop liking her...
before she ends up liking you even more?
You should try dating other people.
I'm sure there will be someone great for you out there.
Mother.
Why are you coming down alone?
Aren't you going to work with Dal Nim today?
I'm leaving early because I have something to take care of.
I'll go now.
Where's Chef Jung? He wasn't in his room.
He left for work early today.
Really?
Dal Nim.
I'd like to meet you outside later.
I have something to tell you.
What is it about?
I'll tell you when I meet you. I'll go to your office later.
Okay, call me when you get there.
See you, Mom. Bye, Ms. Yoon.
Are you going to tell her today?
Yes, I don't think I should hide it from her any longer.
- Why? Did you get followed? - Yes.
The guards started coming after me just so they could find you.
They keep track of everywhere I go including my workplace and home.
I barely managed to get past them.
- What's with you and Hyunsung? - It's a long story.
They were even waiting for me at Incheon Port. I barely made it out.
Did you bring what I asked you to?
I got you a small place under my name.
- Thank you. - What did you get yourself into?
You don't need to know. I'll tell you when time passes.
Okay. Anyway, be careful.
You should go now. Be careful not to get followed.
I've worked at a detective agency for years now.
You're the one who should be careful.
By the way, remember you introduced me to Ms. Ma?
Her daughter became the major shareholder of Choigo Foods.
She became a major shareholder?
And she didn't even send me a single penny?
- Hey, you should go. I'll call you. - Bye.
Byung Soo, did you wait for long?
I brought you food that will help you build your stamina.
You must be so tired from running.
You look really unhealthy.
Byung Soo.
What are you thinking about?
What? What do you mean?
Eat up.
Oh, okay. Let's eat together.
Those jerks.
- Catch him! - Byung Soo! Byung Soo!
Byung Soo! Byung Soo!
What are you doing?
Byung Soo! Byung Soo!
Chef Jung, Byung Soo just got dragged away. What's going on?
What do you mean?
Some men with suits on beat him up and took him with them.
They didn't need to beat him up like that.
I'll look into what happened.
Ms. Yoon, I brought Jo Byung Soo with me.
Dal Nim, I'm sorry.
I'll have to cancel our appointment today. Something important came up.
- Okay, bye. - Okay.
Was that Ms. Yoon?
Yes, she said she wanted to talk to me about something.
But she just canceled saying that something important came up.
I don't know why she wants to meet me in private though.
Maybe she wants to talk to you about the project investment.
I heard she's going to invest in our project.
Maybe that's it.
Until when were you going to keep hiding like a rat?
You better tell me the truth while you're still alive.
You perjured yourself because Yoo Kyung told you to, right?
No, I just told the truth about what I saw.
Don't you lie to me.
I already know that you and Yoo Kyung go way back.
Do you think you'll be able to fool me just by lying like that?
I'll spare your life if you tell me the truth.
No, I just told you already.
How can I say I did something when I didn't?
You must be in your right mind yet.
Do you want me to kill you without anyone finding out?
Is that when you'll finally tell the truth?
What should I do?
If I tell the truth, I'll end up going to prison.
But I can't get beaten to death. My gosh.
Look at him rolling his brain. He must need some more beating.
Take him with you,
and do whatever it takes to make him talk.
- Yes, ma'am. - No, wait!
- Please don't kill me. - Byung Soo!
Byung Soo, what happened?
What are you doing here?
I'm staying here with Dal Nim.
How did this happen to you? What happened?
Is Ms. Yoon telling the truth?
Did you really perjure yourself because you were told to?
I know you're not a bad person,
so tell me the truth if you really did lie in court.
I know for a fact that you're not a bad person.
I really didn't lie.
Please believe me.
He said he didn't lie.
What are you doing? Hurry up, and take him with you.
We'll have to beat him up if we can't get through to him with words.
- My gosh. - No, wait.
Mother, you can't do this. You can't use violence.
He's right. Please don't do this. Please don't hit Byung Soo.
You can't force him to make a certain testimony.
Then his testimony won't even have any legal force.
He'll tell me if he did something wrong.
Right, Byung Soo?
I'm sorry, Aunt Soon Hee. I'll die if I say anything.
We can't force him to tell us anything.
We need to take a conciliatory approach.
Fine, I'll let you leave today.
But think carefully about what will benefit you the most.
If you testify that you perjured yourself in court,
I'll help you live a decent life for the rest of your life.
And I'll also help you avoid getting locked up in prison.
So you better make a wise decision. Okay?
Byung Soo, I trust you.
But if you really did lie about something,
you can always come to me.
You can come to me anytime. I'll be waiting for you.
Dal Nim needs to prove that she's innocent. Please help us.
This is our first report on the meat testings.
- You're both here. - What's up?
My mother's bodyguards managed to find Jo Byung Soo.
They found him? Where is he?
She tried to make him confess, but he refused to do so.
He keeps saying that he never perjured himself.
Ms. Yoon and I were supposed to meet today,
but she suddenly canceled saying that something important came up.
I guess that was because of Jo Byung Soo.
So how did it go?
Your mother stopped my mother from using violence against him...
to make him talk. So she let him go for today.
Aunt Ruby and Jo Byung Soo. Both of them are giving us a hard time.
What's wrong with Aunt Ruby?
She moved out saying that she's to get back together with Se Kang.
She did?
I can't do anything about her choice.
But I'm worried.
Dal Nim.
Do you know that Ruby's staying at our house?
Yes, I do.
You said no one's by my side.
Just wait and see. It might only be Ruby for now.
But I'm going to make Ms. Cha, Ms. Ko, and Sun Ho...
all come back to me.
- It won't be easy. - You're so cowardly.
Are you weighing your options on both Jae Wook and Sun Ho?
I never did such a thing. Stop being ridiculous.
Although everyone was against Ruby's decision,
she was at least honest about her feelings.
The same goes for me.
I was always honest about how I feel towards Sun Ho.
But what about you?
Are you just going to watch Jae Wook from afar when you already like him?
That's exactly why Sun Ho keeps staying by your side.
Director Choi left you...
because you committed way too many sins.
Stop trying to blame it on me.
Don't try to blame me for your wrongdoings.
You're the one who got in my way in the first place.
I'm always going to be aiming for Sun Ho like I always did.
But what about you?
Don't get mistaken.
I never got in anyone's way.
And I never intend on doing so in the future.
Does that mean you're going to start seeing Jae Wook again?
I don't think I'm obligated to tell you every single detail.
Even though you aren't related to each other, you're still siblings.
Dal Nim doesn't even know anything about this.
And I'm worried that her feelings for you might keep growing.
I don't want her to get hurt.
Did Jo Byung Soo say anything to you?
I don't think we should use violence to make him talk.
The bodyguards must've beat him up into a pulp.
He was completely covered in blood.
Byung Soo's not the type to lie.
I'll meet him in private, and talk to him.
He might change his mind if I talk to him myself.
But you need to be careful.
Don't worry. He's not a bad person.
Chef Jung, what's up?
Do you want to take a walk with me?
This is so great.
The wind is also really fresh. This is making me feel so refreshed.
I'm glad that you like it.
The moon is really pretty tonight.
I used to pray to the moon with my mom when I was little.
Should we pray as well?
Should we?
Even though I can't be the person you end up with,
our memories we shared together will one day fade away,
just like how the stars and moon disappear when the day comes.
Just like this firework, the brightest days of my life...
were definitely the times I had spent with you.
I'll never forget those memories.
And thank you for...
making me happy and lighting up my life.
I'll always pray for you...
until the day I die.
What did you pray for?
I prayed that my mom will become healthy soon,
and that you, Ms. Yoon, and Director Choi will all become happy.
What about you?
I prayed that I'll never be able to forget this moment.
Chef Jung, about us...
Why did you dress so lightly?
It's cold at night.
Let's go now. Your mother will be waiting for you.
Thank you.
Good night.
You too.
The gallery invitation?
You got the invitation, right? I'd like to have that.
Why do you suddenly want this?
I didn't tell you because I thought you wouldn't be interested.
I feel frustrated from not being able to cook.
I'm thinking about meeting Yu Ri while I go out to see...
drawings and take a walk.
I haven't seen her since I left New York.
I want to know how she's doing.
Are you doing this so you can get over Dal Nim?
If that's what this is, you really don't need to force yourself.
I think Ms. Kang is right.
I think I should stop here.
And it'd be great for you...
if I marry the daughter of Daehan Bank's president.
I never even did anything decent for you as your son.
Why would you say that?
Don't go if that's why you're going.
I'll be off.
Chef Jung, where are you going? I already cooked lunch.
Please eat, everyone.
Mom, do you know where Chef Jung went?
I wonder why he didn't even answer me when I asked.
Do you know, by any chance?
He got invited to a gallery exhibition.
A gallery exhibition?
He's going to meet the daughter of Daehan Bank's president.
What's wrong, Dal Nim?
Are you sure he went to the gallery exhibition?
Yes, I'm sure.
No.
Dal Nim, just let him go.
Mom, I need to check.
I want to start over with Chef Jung.
And I need to check if he feels the same way.
I need to know why he suddenly decided to go to...
the gallery exhibition.
If it's not because he doesn't like me anymore...
That's not it.
I told him to stop liking you.
So don't go.
Why did you do that?
You said you wanted things to work out between me and Chef Jung.
You and Jae Wook can never be together.
Why not? What are you talking about?
Why can't we be together?
You and Jae Wook...
are siblings.
What?
Mom, what are you talking about?
How can we be siblings?
(Sweet Enemy)
How can you be my birth mother? How?
I'm sorry, Dal Nim.
I trust that Dal Nim will be able to get over this.
Don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter.
If you do, I'll get rid of every single finger on your hand.
Chef Jung and I aren't siblings.
