(Episode 78)
Soo In.
Mom.
Please sit.
Sure.
Ji Hoon, say hello. She's your grandma.
Your mom?
Yes, she is.
Hello, Grandma.
Hello.
How old...
is he?
Grandma, Ji Hoon is five years old.
Five?
Mom has to talk with Grandma. Go and play at Hyun Suk's house.
Okay.
Soo In.
Ji Hoon.
Is he who I think he is?
What are you thinking?
I think his father is...
Didn't Jung In tell you?
Ji Hoon's father...
is dead.
Soo In.
How did you meet his father?
Did you meet in Seoul?
How did he end up dead?
Sorry. I don't want to talk about it.
I'm sorry.
We met after so long, there's so much I want to know.
I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.
No.
I'm sorry for...
not calling.
It's fine. We met again.
It would've been nice if we'd met a little sooner.
Soon Ok wanted to see you...
so much before she died.
Sorry for bringing that up.
It must be hard raising a child alone.
Now that I know you live here,
I'll come by and check on you often.
No. You must be busy with the restaurant.
Don't bother.
I'm doing fine. Don't worry about me.
Didn't Jung In tell you?
Ji Hoon's father...
is dead.
The poor thing.
Hello. We haven't met in a while.
We haven't. Are you well, Mr. Choi?
Yes.
Are you coming from somewhere?
What? Oh, yes, I was.
I heard about Ms. Park's death.
Sorry for not visiting.
That's fine. Don't worry.
Goodbye.
Mr. Choi.
I haven't heard that you got married yet.
When will you marry Se Young?
Very soon, I think.
I see.
Why would you ask about that?
I was just curious. Sorry.
I have to go and meet a buyer.
Of course. Go ahead.
Goodbye.
Honey, I can barely breathe.
How long must we sit and do nothing?
I called in a few favors. Let's wait and see.
What if something bad happens to Man Pyo?
I can't just sit and wait.
Can't you go and see how he's doing?
Not just anyone can go and see him.
Let's wait for a call.
For how long? I'm dying here.
Hello, Taesan Noodles.
Mr. Jung, it's me.
Madam Cho.
You must be worried.
I just got a call.
Your brother-in-law will be released shortly.
Will he? Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes. I will call you soon.
Was that Madam Cho? What did she say?
Was Man Pyo released?
Yes. They let him go.
That's such good news. He's safe at last.
I'll send Mr. Choi to get him. Go and wait at home.
Okay, I will.
I was so scared for Man Pyo.
I don't know how to repay Madam Cho for her help.
Sook Hee.
- Man Pyo. - Sook Hee.
Let me have a look at you.
You poor thing. Just look at you.
What happened to your face?
Did they hit you?
No. No one hit me.
I wasn't hit. I tripped up.
These are bruises from being punched, not falling over.
No, no! I wasn't beaten up. I tripped and fell over. I fell.
Uncle.
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm... I'm okay.
I'm perfectly fine.
I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
That's fine, then.
What about dinner? Have you eaten?
They won't have fed you properly in there.
No, I ate. They fed me very well.
I had a fine time.
- Man Pyo. - Sook Hee.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes. I'm really tired.
I want to lie down.
Can I be excused, Jae Man?
Yes, get some rest.
Don't you think he's a bit strange?
The CIA's scary. They can't have been good to him.
Are you really okay?
I'm fine. You should go and rest as well.
Lie down. Get some sleep.
Are you sure you're okay?
Man Pyo, you can tell me the truth.
Sook Hee.
Why did you pretend to be okay?
You thought I wouldn't know?
I was scared to death in there.
They wouldn't stop hitting me.
I'm so glad I got out today. If I hadn't,
no one knows what would've happened to me.
My poor baby brother. What should I do with you?
Everything's okay now. You're safely with us.
Sook Hee, you can't tell anyone what I just told you, okay?
Then I'll really get into trouble.
Okay, I won't tell anyone.
Tell me then. Did they starve you?
Yes.
Okay. I'll bring you some food.
Thank you.
What's that?
Divorce papers.
Divorce papers?
I said I don't want to break up with you.
Let's not waste any more time and end it now.
Do you even know what that means?
Once we part ways, we can never meet again.
I know that.
Can you live without me?
Yes, I can. I'll manage somehow.
Well, I can't.
I cannot survive without you.
That's how you feel, but what about your mother and siblings?
You're the eldest son. You need an heir.
Does a child mean more to you than us?
You mean much more to me and that's...
what I'll tell my family.
Not to me.
If I were to stay with you,
the guilt of not being able to have kids would suffocate me.
If you really care for me, Dae Bong,
then please divorce me, okay?
Dal Ja.
Please don't make me suffer for your stubbornness.
I'm home.
Honey, I'm home.
Welcome home.
Why were you so distracted you didn't notice me coming in?
It's nothing.
Did you have a drink?
Yes, with Mr. Bang because I felt sorry for Dal Ja.
I see.
Did you talk to her?
What will she do?
She said she'd reconsider a divorce but I'm not so sure.
Even if Dae Bong demanded a divorce, she should be begging and refusing.
Instead, she's the one asking for it.
It must hurt her more than anyone.
I know it must. No one can imagine what she's going through.
What's wrong with you?
Did something happen in Seoul?
Not at all. Nothing happened.
Soo In.
Why are you here?
I told you not to come.
I said I would.
I was busy with work yesterday and couldn't come.
Sorry.
Mr. Kim.
Why are you so selfish and stubborn?
Soo In.
Please, just leave.
Do what you want,
I won't change my mind.
You'd better.
I'll come and see you every day.
It won't help.
I won't see you.
Don't do this, Soo In. I know how you feel.
Don't push me away.
It'll only make it harder for us both.
Please accept my love.
Your love...
will never gain Madam Cho's approval.
Please stop this and go home.
No, I can't.
I'll stay here until...
you accept my love.
What's wrong with you?
Stop being such a nuisance and go!
Mom, where's Seon Woo?
He left.
Already? Without seeing me?
He's busy.
It's time for bed.
Okay.
It's pouring outside.
Where is he? Why isn't he home yet?
What are you doing out in the rain?
What if you get sick again?
Were you worried about me?
I knew you'd come back out.
You feel the same way I do, don't you?
Right?
Mr. Kim...
Don't say anything.
I know how you feel now.
Don't cry, Soo In.
I'll persuade my grandmother.
You can come to me. Don't worry about anything.
Just trust me with everything, okay?
(Chungil Flour)
Chungil Flour.
Soo In.
Why are you here without Ji Hoon?
He's with a neighbor.
Did you have something to discuss without him present?
I was going to visit you this evening.
Mr. Kim.
Yes, Soo In. I'm listening.
I meant to say something last night but I couldn't.
I'm very serious.
Mr. Kim.
Please stop coming to see me.
Soo In.
It's just wrong for us to go on like this.
It can't go on.
Don't be like this.
You showed you have feelings for me.
You feel the same I do. You...
love me too.
However I feel,
regardless of how I feel, this is still wrong.
You need to change your mind.
Why are you doing this?
If you keep coming to see me,
I will have to go somewhere you can never find me.
Do you...
want to make me go through that?
Soo In.
So please...
don't visit me again.
Forget about me and Ji Hoon.
I hope and trust you'll do so. Excuse me.
Soo In.
Soo In. Don't go. Listen to me.
I will persuade my grandmother.
If she still disapproves,
I don't mind not seeing her for you and Ji Hoon's sake.
Don't say things like that.
Do you know how hard...
you're making it for me?
We can't marry. We just can't.
Stop saying we can't and trust me.
Soo In.
Mom.
Seon Woo.
- Ji Hoon, how are you? - I'm well.
Let's go inside.
I want to play with Seon Woo.
You can't. We must go inside.
Soo In.
You must go.
Please, just go.
Soo In.
Ma'am.
Mr. Kim, what are you doing here?
Are you Soo In's mother?
You stayed with him all this time?
Yes.
I see.
I had no idea you knew him.
Me neither. I only considered him a customer at our restaurant.
You know him too.
That's so strange.
Soo In.
About Ji Hoon.
I have a feeling that Ji Hoon's father...
is Mr. Choi. Am I right?
You're wrong.
Soo In.
You don't have to keep it from me too.
Can't you tell me the truth?
You're wrong.
I told you that Ji Hoon's father is dead.
Don't go and tell Jeong Wook any nonsense.
Soo In.
I see. I made an assumption and upset you.
I'm sorry.
But Soo In.
Can't you trust and lean on us now?
Don't suffer alone like this.
You have me and your family.
Ji Hoon's your son and our family.
We can fill in his father's empty spot.
He has to be put on the family register among other things.
Let's discuss what to do.
Thank you.
I promised your mom that I'd look after you.
Now you're my daughter.
I will protect you and Ji Hoon.
Eat all you want.
It tastes even better because you're buying.
Does it? Let's meet up more often.
How is work? Manageable?
It's fine. I love it.
I'll make you some clothes one day.
Okay, thanks.
Tae Soo.
It must've been hard keeping Soo In's secret.
Did you see her?
Ji Hoon too.
I didn't show it in front of her in case I ended up crying,
but I feel sorry for her.
Ji Hoon's dad is dead and she's fending for herself.
Mom dropped by Soo In's place as well yesterday.
I gave her the address.
Did you? Do you know if she saw Ji Hoon?
She saw Soo In, so she must have.
Is that a problem?
No. Let's eat.
Okay.
The noodles should be here by now. Where's your brother-in-law?
I don't know. Are they backlogged?
Then he'd have called to say so.
He's never been late without a reason and now I'm worried.
- Me too. Let me call him. - Yes, do that.
Hello? Is that Taesan Noodles?
This is Dongbang Store. We're still waiting for...
What?
Dae Bong was in an accident?
Is something on your mind, Ms. Oh?
It's Mr. Hong.
He got into trouble because of me.
Sitting here trying to eat like nothing happened...
makes me feel bad.
He'll be fine now that he's out.
You didn't get him into trouble on purpose. Don't blame yourself.
Mr. Hong will understand.
I heard everyone they question comes out unhinged.
Do you think he's still normal?
He wasn't in the CIA for long. I'm sure he's fine.
Don't worry to much.
I wish you were right.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Hi, Dong Chul.
What? Dae Bong?
Okay.
Can you watch the store? I have to go to the hospital.
What for?
Dae Bong was in an accident.
What? How bad is it?
I don't know. Wait here for me.
Why do bad things keep happening to people?
Dae Bong, you can't die. Dae Bong!
- Dae Bong! - Dal Ja.
What are you doing here?
Are you okay? You were in an accident.
I was out making a delivery on my bike.
I fell over trying to avoid the car.
Are you here because you heard about that?
Doesn't that driver have eyeballs?
Why did he almost hit a man on a bike?
I got distracted, that's all.
It's just a scratch. Don't worry.
I was so scared, thinking something terrible had happened.
My goodness.
Didn't you say you could live without me?
Is this the look of a woman who can live without me?
Focus on the road when you're on your bike. Don't get distracted.
I was thinking about you.
You've been causing me so much stress recently.
I see right through you.
You can't live without me.
Don't ever say you want to break up.
Okay?
Members of our party are suggesting we reevaluate your nomination.
What do you mean?
They aren't pleased that your wife's brother was named a possible spy.
The charges were dropped and he was released.
Yes, but some congressmen are still concerned.
They're afraid word could come out...
during the election and tarnish our party's image.
But even then...
I know how you feel,
but we have no choice.
We must do what the party wants.
I thought it was a relief that Man Pyo got out soon,
but then this happened.
Even if you're nominated again,
you'll lose a lot of time you need...
to focus on your election campaign.
It'll put you at a disadvantage.
That's not the problem.
Pardon? Then what is?
Madam Cho helped get Man Pyo out,
but people still think he is a spy.
If we don't clear him of suspicion, it will ruin my political career...
and even my business can suffer.
We must find a way to prove Man Pyo's innocence.
I will find a way, Father.
Is this what you were looking for?
Yes, it is.
I forgot to bring it with me.
I'm sorry to make you come over.
That's fine.
How is Seon Woo doing these days?
Does he still leave whenever he wants?
No. He's doing well and causing no trouble at work.
I don't think you need to worry.
Good. I'm sure it won't last that long.
What? Do you think it will last longer than I hope?
I'm not sure what you'll think of my saying this,
but Seon Woo's so much like his father.
It concerns me.
I apologize.
I said something silly and caused you concern.
That's okay. It's late. You should go.
Yes, ma'am.
Il Joo.
You know how I raised Seon Woo after you died.
He is my son and grandson combined.
I give with the guilt of not finding you a good wife.
I can't put Seon Woo through the same.
I need you to help me.
If you keep coming to see me,
I will have to go somewhere you can never find me.
Do you...
want to make me go through that?
(Chungil Flour)
It's time to visit the buying in Incheon.
Is it?
I'll drive myself.
Why? I was going to go with you.
I need to make another stop.
I'll go alone. You can catch up on work here.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm here to say something.
About what? Have a seat first.
What is it you wish to say to me?
Mother.
Yes?
It may sound sudden to you, but I'd like to ask for your help.
My help?
I love Soo In.
What?
I want to marry her.
I'd like you to help me.
It's Seon Woo.
Who's he?
Happy birthday, Soo In.
It took me four years to give you this.
I will wait forever.
Don't do this.
You can't marry Soo In.
What will you do if I don't give in?
I have no choice, but to cut ties with you.
Where is he?
Mr. Kim. Where were you?
Do you know how worried I was?
