(Episode 84)
Yoon Soo In.
Se Young.
It's been so long.
Four years now.
What? Yes.
Mom.
The little boy. Is he yours?
Yes.
Were you married?
Yes.
When? When was the wedding?
Right after I moved here.
How old is the boy now?
How old is he?
Why do you want to know?
What is it you want to know about me?
Who's your husband?
What does he do? How did you two meet?
Why do you care?
Of course I care.
A friend I met in years is married with a kid.
Of course I want to know about her husband.
I'm not sure. I think it's none of your business.
Are you saying you don't want to tell me?
Yes. I don't want to tell you anything.
If you're now married with a son,
why didn't you call your family once?
I asked Mr. Ko and he hasn't heard from you.
I'm in touch with Jung In and I will contact my family again.
Stop wanting to know how I'm doing...
and stop bothering Jung In at her workplace.
I don't know how you feel,
but I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this.
I hope we never cross paths again.
(Shinchon Cafe)
Soo In.
Your son.
Is he Jeong Wook's?
What do you mean? He's Jeong Wook's?
That's nonsense.
Are you sure? Is it not his son?
He's not.
Can I...
trust you?
Yes.
You're wrong, so don't say that again.
Soo In.
Did Se Young leave?
Yes.
I'd always wanted to ask you something.
Why is Se Young so curious about you?
It's a bit too much even for friends.
I don't know why.
She looked really surprised when she saw Ji Hoon.
It'll be because she didn't know you had a kid.
Jung In, if she comes and asks questions again,
just say you don't know anything.
About me and Ji Hoon both.
I'd rather you not tell her anything.
Okay, I'll do that.
Why did you want to see me?
I think Madam Cho found out that...
our dad was in prison.
What?
What happens now?
I don't know.
Soo In.
Jung In.
I think that...
however hard you try, some things...
are just never meant to be.
Dad's prison sentence never bothered me one bit,
but seeing how it's affecting you really upsets me.
And I blame and hate Dad even.
Come in.
I heard you asked for me. Is something wrong?
Soo In asked to see me today and I don't think it's good news.
I thought you'd have something to tell me before I see Soo In.
This goes for you and Grandma. If I'm going to find out,
I'd rather you tell me straight up.
To tell you the truth,
I'd been looking into her family.
And?
I found out that her father is a criminal who served...
10 years for murder.
A criminal?
Then you didn't know either.
Did you want me to break up with Soo In...
because of her father?
- Yes. - Did you tell...
my grandmother about this?
Yes, I did.
Mr. Jang, you should have come to me first!
Why go to Grandma?
It does not matter who finds out first.
What matters is the kind of person Soo In's father is.
That's why you must break up with her immediately.
No, I can't.
Why not?
It's not her fault.
If this is true, you must help us even more.
How can I wish you well...
when I know such a shocking fact?
It's best that you two break up.
Call everything off.
Mr. Jang, can you please take our side and help us?
I have nothing more to say about this.
Excuse me, sir.
The orphanage just received a payment from the foundation.
Then go and collect our payment.
We shall meet tomorrow.
Bye.
Chungil Foundation just sent the payments.
I'll collect the money from Mr. Nam soon.
You do that. I have a foundation board meeting today.
Have a safe trip.
Why are you back home so early?
Didn't you say you had a class?
What's wrong with her?
Did something upset her?
Is something wrong? You look stressed.
It's nothing.
It's not nothing. Tell me what's wrong.
I said it's nothing!
Why are you yelling at me?
Mom, I want to be alone.
- Se Young... - I want to be alone.
Okay.
Could that kid...
Mom.
No, he can't be.
He can't be Jeong Wook's.
No, he's not.
What brings you here, Mother?
Did you and Se Young argue?
No, we didn't argue.
She left for class but just returned looking pale.
Are you sure nothing's wrong?
There's nothing wrong between us.
No? Then what's wrong with her?
Something's off.
I'll let you get back to work.
Sure.
What's going on?
Is that the last one?
Yes, this is it. I'll finish up.
Okay. Oh, right.
Dal Ja told me why Ms. Oh's reluctant to get married.
Did she? What's the reason?
I don't think it's something you can solve.
What do you mean it's not something I can solve?
Tell me right away.
Well...
What's wrong?
What's bothering you?
Ms. Oh, was that it?
What's what?
The reason you didn't want to marry me.
Were you afraid my family wouldn't approve?
How do you know...
Did Dae Bong tell you?
Answer me. Is that the truth?
Yes, it is.
It's my fault. I didn't care for you enough.
I kept begging for you to marry me...
not knowing what was stressing you out.
I'm sorry.
You have no reason to apologize.
And even if you found out, nothing will change.
Don't say that. Now that I know, things must change.
Don't worry about that. Leave it all to me.
You can't go and tell your family about me, okay?
Did the board meeting go well?
Yes, but I heard something strange.
Like what?
Mr. Kim's getting married.
Is he? To whom?
She must be from a good family.
Apparently he's going to marry the live-in helper.
Do you mean the person who did the cooking and cleaning?
That's impossible. How could something like that happen?
He must have met better women.
Do you think that's a groundless rumor?
I don't think so. Madam Cho had been looking stressed lately.
I think she was upset about her grandson.
I understand how she feels.
If the news made me feel like this, Madam Cho must feel worse.
She must be so upset.
Se Young, what's wrong?
Do you have something to say?
Your mother said you were in a bad mood.
What's the matter?
Jeong Wook, is there something you haven't told me?
Like what?
Is there a secret you haven't told me yet?
Why are you asking me that?
What would I hold back from you?
Are you sure?
Yes, I am.
Why are you asking?
Never mind.
Mr. Kim.
Let me go first.
I know why you asked to see me.
If you're about to ask me to break up with you,
don't say it, because I can't do that.
Mr. Kim.
I can't break up with you for something that wasn't your fault.
I don't care what kind of person your father is.
I do. I care.
I can't stand the idea of...
getting you or the company into trouble.
I can't be the one to ruin your future.
I don't think I can handle that.
Soo In.
This is an issue we can't overcome.
Trust me, Soo In. I will overcome it.
I will fight for us. I can do anything with you.
Please trust me and wait.
I'll persuade my grandmother.
I won't give up on your or Ji Hoon.
Did you just get back from seeing Soo In?
Yes.
Then you must have heard.
Did you agree to break up?
No. I don't plan on leaving her.
I won't, so don't even get your hopes up.
What?
Do you know the employees are talking about you?
That the CEO is marrying a widow with a kid?
What does that matter?
Fine, you love her.
That's why I gave in.
But this is different.
People are already talking about Soo In.
If word gets about about her father's past,
what will happen to Chungil Flour?
A CEO with a murderer for a father-in-law?
Your father built this company...
and you're about to ruin everything he stood for.
You need to wake up.
- Grandma. - Forget it.
That's final.
I'm done talking. You can get out.
A CEO with a murderer for a father-in-law?
Your father built this company...
and you're about to ruin everything he stood for.
You need to wake up.
Please trust me and wait.
I'll persuade my grandmother.
I won't give up on your or Ji Hoon.
(Shinchon Boutique)
Jung In.
Se Young.
I need you to give me a straight answer.
What is it?
Who is Soo In's husband? When did she meet him?
How old is her son?
What got into you?
Answer me.
I have a feeling that you aren't asking out of concern for her.
Why are you bothering my sister?
Just answer me.
No. I won't.
I won't tell you anything.
Fine. If you won't tell me, I'll ask your sister.
Tell me where she lives. I want her address.
I don't know. I have nothing more to say to you.
I have no reason to explain,
so stop coming by to ask questions.
Please leave.
Aren't you Se Young? What are you doing here?
How are you? I'm here to see Soo In's stepmother.
My sister-in-law? Sorry, but she went to Seoul.
To Seoul?
Yes. You finally visited after so many years and you missed her.
Why do you want to see Young Sun?
I wanted to...
Have you heard from Soo In yet?
Is that what you wanted to ask?
We haven't heard from her.
Are you worried about your friend?
Yes.
I'll tell you if we hear from her.
Okay.
Why are you here?
Jung In told me.
The chairperson...
heard about your dad.
Are you here out of concern?
Soo In, I know it must be hard.
No, I'm fine.
Don't lie.
I can tell that you're struggling.
I'd fight as hard as I could if it were something I could fight,
but there's nothing I can do to change this.
I don't think it'll work.
I'm sorry to let you down after all your help.
No, I should apologize instead.
I can't offer you any help.
No. You're concerned for me and came to see me.
Thank you.
He was framed.
What?
Yes. Soo In's father isn't that kind of person.
He was innocent.
Wait. How do you know he was innocent?
I happened to find out.
Then do you know who really did it?
Yes, I do.
Then come forward.
If you know something, can't you clear his name?
Not right now. We must wait for the right time.
If we move to fast, Soo In and her father could be put in danger.
- Tae Soo. - I'm sorry.
I can't tell you anything right now.
But if I can tell you one thing,
it's that Soo In's father did not kill anyone.
I hope this rumor doesn't change the status of your relationship.
It won't. I will never give up on Soo In.
This is just unbelievable.
What is unbelievable?
The CEO of Chungil Flour...
is going to marry his live-in help.
- Really? - Yes.
I can imagine just how frustrated Madam Cho must feel.
I bet the woman practically threw herself at Mr. Kim.
That's why you should beware of the poor.
Love has no boundaries. Isn't love more than enough?
Who cares if the CEO loves the cook?
You're talking strangely. Who's this woman you're seeing?
I told you she's a good person.
Tell me the truth. What are you hiding?
Is she a widow? With a kid?
She is not.
Why can't you tell me about her if she isn't a widow with a kid?
Who are you dating?
She's a CEO.
A CEO?
What business has a female CEO?
A cafe.
What? A cafe?
Are you dating the owner of a cafe?
Have you lost your mind? Break up with her this instant!
No, I can't.
I'll bring her home to meet you. You tell Jae Man for me.
Do you think you're making sense?
That's all you need to know.
I have to work.
What's wrong with him?
All jobs are equal.
Why is she so discriminatory?
- Man Pyo. - What?
Which cafe does she own?
Why do you care?
You don't need to know. Just answer me.
I won't. Who knows what you'll go and do?
I won't tel you.
You think I can't find her if you don't tell me?
I'll track this woman down and see her face-to-face.
Why would you do that?
I said I'd bring her home.
If you ever tell Jae Man about her,
he will kill us both.
- Sook Hee. - Tell me where she works.
Hello, Ms. Hong.
Why are you here?
Never mind.
See you.
Drat.
Taesan Noodles.
Jeong Wook, it's me.
Can we meet?
Right now? What's the matter?
I have something to say.
I'll be at Incheon Cafe.
Soo In?
She isn't home.
She said she'd stay at a friend's. Right, Stepmom?
What? Yes.
Se Young, what's going on?
I met Soo In.
Did you? So what?
"So what?" I met Soo In.
Is that why you called me?
So what if you met her? Why distract a man from his work?
Jeong Wook.
Did you ever see her?
No.
Not even once?
Se Young, what's this about?
Are you suspecting me again?
Don't do this.
Where did you see her?
Is she coming back to Incheon?
Will you trust me if the three off us talk it out?
Back when you were dating,
do you remember the day you took her to see your family?
Why are you asking me about that?
I went to Soo In's that night and she...
stayed out that night.
Did you spend the night together?
What are you talking about? No.
It doesn't make any sense. Where was Soo In that night?
How would I know?
If you don't believe me, ask my family.
I stayed with them that night.
Se Young, why are you asking me about that day?
I just wanted to.
I wanted to know if you two had gotten up to no good.
Don't do this. I got over her long ago.
Nothing good will come from you asking me about her.
Can you please stop?
I have a lot to do.
I must get back.
I hope you don't call me over this ever again.
Why is she asking me about that night?
You're here instead?
Yes, your brother's sorting out another delivery.
Where's your sister-in-law?
She had to rush to Seoul.
I see.
She goes quite often these days.
She does.
Mother, what brings you here?
Do I have to call to visit my daughter-in-law at work?
No, I meant... Have a seat.
I'll see myself out.
Why did you come over here?
Because I couldn't stand the way Dae Bong talked to me on the phone.
How did you manipulate him?
What?
It's not how you think.
What do you mean it's not?
How long will you sit and do nothing?
You need to do something.
I apologize.
Take medicine that will help you conceive,
or pray with a shaman or something.
You need to do something. Why aren't you even trying?
You're asking for more and more.
Are you selling a lot?
Yes. A lot of customers are asking for your noodles.
I don't mind seeing you more often either.
That's true. Dong Chul.
Do you think I can get another cereal smoothie?
Of course you can.
Here you are. What timing.
Do you need something?
Your mother's at the restaurant.
What? My mother? Are you sure?
Dal Ja called her "mother", so I'm pretty sure.
Why are you so pale?
This is bad.
I have to go.
- What? - Why...
Don't you feel bad that you can't produce an heir?
I was concerned I'd have no grandson to carry on the family name...
and voiced my concern and you hand the phone to your husband?
Who taught you to do that?
I'm sorry.
My Dae Bong never talked back to me once.
What did you say to manipulate him...
that he'd hang up before I was done talking?
- I'm sorry, Mother. - My goodness.
Our ancestors were right.
They said the eldest son should marry the right woman.
What have you done for our family?
- Mom. - Hello, son.
This is a restaurant.
Why are you bothering her?
Are you more worried about your wife than your mom...
who traveled from the countryside?
No, I didn't mean that.
I meant you must be tired, so I'll take you home.
Come home with me.
Okay. I'll come over to your place...
and cook you a nice warm meal.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Dal Ja, I'll take her home.
Let's go then.
Come along.
Sorry, but could you visit the clients instead today?
Why? Is something wrong?
I think I need to go to Incheon.
To Incheon? What for?
To see Soo In's mother.
Soo In's mother?
Have you heard?
The woman our CEO's going to marry.
She used to be his live-in help.
That's not all.
She's a widow with a kid.
- Gosh. - However nice she is,
if our CEO marries her, it'll ruin our company's reputation.
He doesn't care what happens to the company. He's lost his mind.
What could you possibly say to Soo In's mother?
I need to discuss this issue with her.
And I'll ask her to tell Soo In not to leave me.
Please don't do this, sir.
I told you that you can't go through with this.
Why are you like this?
You and Grandma keep saying I can't marry Soo In.
Her mother's the only person I can lean on.
I need you to understand.
Mr. Kim.
Come in.
Mother.
How are you?
Mr. Jang.
Do you know each other?
What? Yes, we do.
Seeing Mr. Kim made me think of my son.
He'd be Mr. Kim's age if he were alive.
Madam Lee.
Did Soo In's mother know my grandma?
I met Soo In as well. And saw her son.
Do you know whose kid he is?
What do you mean?
I think everyone's hiding something.
Ji Hoon, you can call me "Dad" instead of "Seon Woo".
Can I really?
Mr. Kim.
