(Episode 102)
Are you Ji Hoon?
Yes. Who are you?
Don't you remember me?
What are you doing here?
I was playing with a friend. I'm waiting for my neighbor now.
Are you?
- Ma'am. - Ji Hoon.
- Did you have fun? - Yes.
I'll cook you a meal. Let's go inside and eat.
Okay.
Se Young, do you know where in Seoul Soo In lives?
Why do you want to know that?
I should talk to her myself.
What would you say to her?
Don't meet her.
I have something to say to her.
It won't hurt you, so tell me where she lives.
I don't want to.
Tell me already.
I won't.
If you want to help, don't do anything.
I'll deal with this myself. Don't even think of seeing Soo In.
Se Young.
Seol Hee must be so upset that she has to...
close her beloved cafe.
- Man Pyo. - Hi.
Find out where Soo In lives in Seoul.
Ms. Yoon? Why do you want to know where she lives?
That's none of your business.
Ask Mr. Ko or someone and find out for me.
I could ask, but I don't think...
Mr. Ko will tell me anything.
That's why I need to you find out.
Okay. You gave me permission to marry.
I can do something for you.
I'll find out for you. Don't worry.
Here are the papers for Taesan's right to export.
Okay, thanks.
I'll pass it on to the buyers on my next business trip.
Mr. Jung asked me to thank you for him.
Thanks to you, we're able to...
export noodles to Japan.
You don't need to thank me.
Do you mind if I ask you something?
What is it about? Ask away.
You're marrying Mr. Jung's daughter.
Is she the fiancee you once told me about?
Yes, she is.
Then did you get engaged four years ago...
and are getting married now?
Yes, that's it.
I see.
Why did you ask me about that?
I was just curious.
Would you mind if I asked you something as well?
No. Go ahead.
Why did you break up with the woman...
you were going to marry?
Was there a specific reason?
I'm sure it's just what you're thinking.
There were too many obstacles.
Do you still have feelings for her?
I loved her for a long time.
It won't go away just like that.
I see.
Why did you want to ask me that?
It's nothing. I'm sorry if I offended you.
You didn't.
A lot must be on your mind now that you're getting married.
Would you like some help, sir?
Yes. I've never bought clothes for a child before.
I don't know what to get.
Most men struggle with that.
Boy or girl?
A boy. He's five years old.
Is he?
He must be so cute, then.
He is quite cute.
How about this?
This design is quite popular and the kids love it.
Oh, do they?
I'll take that, then.
Just a moment.
(Shinchon Boutique)
I told you not to come here. I work here.
You can't keep coming here.
Now that you mentioned it, it bothers me that...
you leave Ji Hoon alone so you can work.
It's none of your business.
How is it not when it's about you and Ji Hoon?
Soo In, I want to move in with you...
and Ji Hoon right away.
I want us to live like a family as soon as possible.
I told you that I can't and I don't want to.
Are you stalling because of Mr. Kim?
Are you not over him yet?
I don't have to answer that.
Stop it, Soo In.
Being stubborn won't solve anything.
I beg of you.
Change your mind and come back to me.
If you're worried about my marrying Se Young,
don't be.
I told her we should break up.
Now it's up to you.
Make up your mind so the three of us can live together.
Will you stop it, Jeong Wook?
I want to live with Ji Hoon as things are now.
Some clothes for Ji Hoon.
You don't want me to, so I won't see him in private.
Pass this to him for me.
I won't.
He has a lot of clothes.
I bought it for my son.
Don't stop me from doing that.
You can push me away but it doesn't change the fact that he's my son.
Whatever you say, I'm Ji Hoon's dad.
I will do my duties as a dad,
so don't stop me.
You must've been really busy.
It's been a while.
I had some things to do.
How are you?
I'm not doing so well.
Do you not have enough money to open a cafe...
somewhere else?
Have the rumors spread already?
You're right.
I've been paying him rent for years.
How could he kick me out just like that?
Why did you date Mr. Jung's brother-in-law and...
get into this mess?
What do you mean?
Do you know something?
What would I know?
Mr. Nam.
I'll tell you what I know for old time's sake.
If you want to stay,
you'd better break up with Mr. Hong.
What do you mean?
What does dating Mr. Hong have to do with...
me getting kicked out?
Tell me everything you know, please.
I can't say anything else.
Here are your noodles.
You wanted an extra box starting today.
That's right.
People eat a lot of noodles in the summer.
That's true.
What's that?
Kid's shoes?
Yes. I bought a pair for Ji Hoon...
on my way back from a delivery.
What do you think of my taste?
They'll suit him well.
You must like him a lot.
Of course I love him. He's my grandson.
Thinking of seeing him jump around in these...
makes me grin already.
I bet he will love them.
I should work even harder now.
To earn a lot so I can buy him shoes and...
give him pocket money...
as he grows up.
You seem to be...
full of energy since he visited.
I am.
I even feel full when I don't eat. Life is worth living now.
I wish Soo In and Ji Hoon could move back,
so I could watch the boy grow up every day.
Oh well.
Here, this is for you.
It's really pretty. Did Aunt make this?
No, she didn't.
Someone bought it for you.
Who?
Someone who likes you.
Do you like it?
Yes, I do.
I bought it for my son.
Don't stop me from doing that.
You can push me away,
but it doesn't change the fact that he's my son.
Whatever you say, I'm Ji Hoon's dad.
I will do my duties as a dad,
so don't stop me.
(Mujin Orphanage)
That's the money you asked for.
Can you keep it a secret?
Of course. Our orphanage is in a by-corner.
Was it not too hard to find?
A bit.
But I think that might help.
No one will care about this place.
That is one of our strengths.
Will they really not find him once he's here?
Don't worry about that.
We don't get any visitors,
and unless we let them,
the kids are unable to leave the premises.
When will you bring the child?
Tomorrow.
You can't tell anyone about this.
Don't worry. I won't.
Man Pyo said it's somewhere here.
Shinchon...
Here it is.
(Shinchon Boutique)
Ms. Hong.
You know why I'm here, don't you?
How could you think of having Jeong Wook's child...
knowing he's engaged to my daughter?
Tell me the truth.
What were you thinking?
Were you going to use the child to get Jeong Wook back?
No, I wasn't.
Then you should've kept it a secret forever.
Se Young said you promised to never show yourself...
in front of her of Jeong Wook.
Is that true?
Yes. Ji Hoon is my son...
and has nothing to do with them.
How can I believe you?
If I wanted to tear them apart,
why would I have left Incheon to hide?
That is not what I want.
With that innocent mask of yours,
you stole money from Taesan Noodles.
Who knows what you'll do?
I can't live like this any longer.
I promise.
What you're concerned with will never happen.
Are you sure of that?
Yes.
You gave me your word just now,
so do whatever it takes to keep it.
Don't ever let Jeong Wook see you.
Live as if you're almost nonexistent. Do you get that?
Yes. I do.
If you ever become a hindrance to my daughter's future,
I will never forgive you.
What are you doing here?
I came to talk to you.
To me?
Let's sit down first.
I know that Soo In...
visited Incheon with a child.
She did.
You know it, don't you?
Who the father is.
Have you heard that I will be...
getting married?
Yes, I have.
Ma'am.
I won't go through with it.
I will break it off and take care of...
Soo In and Ji Hoon.
Do you really mean that?
Yes.
Now that I know about Ji Hoon,
I can't marry someone else.
It's late, but I want to go back to Soo In.
Does she want you back?
No. That's why I'm here to ask for your help.
How could I help?
I am grateful that you decided to do this,
but I'm also afraid that this could lead to more heartache...
on Soo In's part.
I will never hurt her again.
I want to make up for...
the pain I caused her.
Could you please trust and help me?
Why are you here, Mr. Choi?
Do you want to eat?
Well, not really.
I'll get going, then.
What was he doing here?
He dropped by on his way somewhere.
If I move out of this spot...
I should ask about the empty space by the junction.
If I can get that...
What are you doing, Ms. Oh?
Working on a business plan.
- A business plan? - Yes.
I'm about to lose Tiffany.
I need to think of something else to do.
You're such an amazing lady.
I'd be worried sick and in bed.
How are you able to get right to business?
Moping in bed won't change what has happened.
I'd rather...
think of what I can do next.
What are you thinking of doing?
I think I could sell makeup or clothes.
Such stores don't need a large space like a cafe,
and I think I've saved up enough to lease a small space.
I'm sure you'll do that just as well.
We'll get a lot of monetary gifts when we get married.
We can spend that on your new venture.
When will we get married?
Once Se Young's marred, it'll be our turn.
My sister said yes.
Your sister gave her permission?
Yes.
I forgot to tell you yesterday.
She really gave her permission this time.
I doubt it. There's no way she'd accept our relationship.
What do you mean?
You found it strange that...
- my landlord wanted me out, right? - Yes.
I saw Mr. Nam yesterday.
I think someone put pressure on my landlord.
Who could that be?
Are you saying that to break us up,
my sister told your landlord...
not to extend your lease?
That's a possibility.
Don't you remember what she did?
She said she accepted us,
then lied about our fortune.
I think she used another of her tricks.
Sook Hee!
- Pipe down. - Sook Hee.
Why are you shouting?
I already have a headache.
Did you tell Seol Hee's landlord to kick her out?
What are you talking about?
I'm really angry right now, so tell me the truth.
Was it you?
What nonsense is that?
How would I get a landlord to kick out a tenant?
I don't even know who the landlord is.
What are you on about?
Was it really not you?
It wasn't me.
I won't care about your relationship or marriage.
You said you'd talk to Jae Man and sort things out yourself.
Did you even talk to him?
Of course I...
Wait.
If it wasn't you, was it Jae Man?
- What do you know? - Nothing.
I have more than enough to deal with. Don't bother me.
My goodness.
Jeong Wook.
Were you waiting for me?
Yes.
I'll ask you one last time.
Will you really not marry me?
I'm asking you one last time.
Think carefully before you answer.
Do you really want to leave me?
Yes. It's like I said already.
I can't marry you.
Do you really mean that?
Yes. So tell your parents already.
I can't stand living here...
or seeing your face.
How could you say that?
If you won't tell them, I will have to.
I have to resign too.
If that's all, I'll go to my room.
No. I won't ever give up on Jeong Wook.
Jeong Wook, Soo In, and that kid?
You three will never get to live together.
Never.
Have a good time with Hyun Suk.
Can't you not go to work today?
Why?
I just don't want you to go.
I have to work so I can buy you tasty snacks.
Don't go, Mom.
Can't you play with me?
I can't, Ji Hoon.
Instead, I promise I'll come home early.
No, Mom, don't go.
Stay with me.
Why are you like this today?
Do you want a scolding?
You're usually such a good boy.
Do as you're told until Mom comes home.
I'll buy your favorite snack...
on the way home, okay?
Sorry I'm late.
Is something wrong?
Ji Hoon didn't want me to leave this morning.
I guess he wants to spend more time with you.
I guess so.
You're working because you have to.
It must feel terrible having to leave him alone every day.
I might bring him with me tomorrow.
It bothers me that I had to leave him today.
You should do that.
He's quiet, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Okay.
Let's play with this.
I want to pee.
I'll be right back.
- Ji Hoon. - Hello.
Do you remember me?
We met where your mom works.
And here two days ago.
Yes.
I'm your mom's friend.
She asked me to bring you to her...
because she misses you.
- She said that? - Yes.
Do you want to see Mom?
- Yes. - Let's go.
Where is my mom?
We're almost there.
Don't you want to see her?
- Let's hurry. - Okay.
Shinchon Boutique.
What? Ji Hoon's gone?
Okay, I'll call you back.
Taesan Noodles.
Jeong Wook, did you take Ji Hoon?
What do you mean did I take him?
Did you not take him?
Is he not there?
Is he missing or something?
Ji Hoon... My son's gone.
What? Is that true?
Yes.
Okay. I'll come right over.
Call the police.
Are you going somewhere?
Something urgent came up. I have to go out.
Something urgent? What is it?
I'll tell you some other time.
What's going on?
Yoon Ji Hoon. He's five years old.
He has big eyes with double eyelids and pale skin.
He's of average height.
He's bright and very talkative.
Where was he last seen?
He was playing outside his house...
and disappeared while his friend went to the toilet.
- Outside his home? - Yes.
Do you know what he was wearing today?
Blue shorts...
and a checkered blue short-sleeved shirt.
I registered his disappearance.
Go home and wait.
We'll call you as soon as we find him.
Okay. Please find Ji Hoon for me.
Please, officer.
Sure.
Hello?
How did it go?
Okay.
Call me when you find him.
Was that Mr. Kim?
Still no news?
No.
I hope he comes back unscathed.
How did something like this happen?
I have no idea.
Ji Hoon's so young.
Soo In must be so scared and worried.
My goodness.
How did this happen?
Don't worry too much.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
We reported it right away. We'll find him soon.
We must.
Yes, we must find him.
Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon!
Ji Hoon. I Hoon.
Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon.
Ji Hoon!
Soo In.
Well? Did you find him?
Ms. Baek called the police.
They're looking. We should wait.
What should I do?
Where's Ji Hoon?
Don't cry. I'm sure he'll be fine.
Can you think of anyone who...
might have taken him?
No.
Do you think he got lost trying to come to see me?
He didn't want me to leave this morning.
Don't worry too much.
Let's wait a bit.
I'm sure he'll be fine. He's so smart.
Even if he got lost,
I'm sure he'll find his way home.
Try not to worry, Soo In.
Let's wait at home.
He might come back and look for us.
Ji Hoon...
Where is my mom?
Are we there yet?
We're almost there. She isn't far.
My legs hurt.
Just walk. We're almost there.
Let's go.
I won't go.
You said you want to see your mom. Let's go.
No, I'll go home.
Come back!
Stop right there.
Ji Hoon!
Oh no. It's a little boy.
Take him to a hospital.
Is he badly hurt?
- Call the police. - Oh no.
I've never seen him. He isn't from here.
- What happened? - Gosh.
I've never seen him.
He isn't from here.
Did you see the shoes Dong Chul got for Ji Hoon?
He picked out a very pretty pair.
He talks about the gossip and scandal,
but he can't hide his love for his grandson.
You're right.
I should tell Soo In to visit us...
against soon with Ji Hoon.
Yoon's Soup.
Ms. Lee, it's me, Tae Soo.
Tae Soo.
Ms. Lee.
What? Is something the matter?
Ms. Lee, it's...
Ji Hoon...
What about Ji Hoon?
Did something happen to him?
Jung In, why do I feel so scared?
I can't stand it.
Soo In, everything will be fine.
Don't worry too much.
Soo In.
Did you find Ji Hoon?
Where is he?
Well...
You must come with me.
Right now.
What happened to him?
He's in surgery.
Surgery?
How badly is he hurt?
He'd hurt his head and was unconscious when he came in.
Soo In. Soo In...
Poor Ji Hoon.
I can't live without him.
Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon! Ji Hoon...
Ji Hoon.
Ji Hoon!
Ji Hoon...
Where were you all day, Se Young?
Se Young. What's wrong with her?
What now?
What should I do?
Hello.
I'm your mom's friend.
She asked me to bring you to her...
because she misses you.
She said that?
I won't go.
You said you want to see your mom. Let's go.
No, I'll go home.
Ji Hoon!
Oh no. Someone do something.
Hurry.
Se Young.
Why didn't you answer?
Is something wrong?
What is it? What's wrong?
Dad, what should I do now?
What should I do?
What? What happened?
Ji Hoon.
How did it go?
Ji Hoon's okay, isn't he?
Doctor. Doctor.
I'm sorry.
We did our best, but we couldn't save him.
- Soo In. Soo In! - Soo In.
Soo In.
Are you okay?
Wake up, Soo In.
The boy died?
What now, Dad?
What should I do?
Get a grip, Se Young.
This is between us until the both of us die.
Please let me go! Ji Hoon's waiting for me!
Mommy's coming.
Ji Hoon! Ji Hoon.
Take your child and leave.
It can't be.
It's your fault, Soo In, that my son is dead.
You fell for another man and you killed him.
