(Episode 96)
I'm sorry I have prior lunch plans.
That's fine. Maybe next time.
Isn't that Soo In's husband?
I'll see you again.
Goodbye.
Jeong Wook, the man who just left.
Why was he here?
You heard this morning.
That was Chungil's Mr. Kim who came to extend our contract.
He's the CEO of Chungil?
Yes. You haven't met him, have you?
Is he the man who Mom said...
wanted to marry the helper with a kid?
Yes.
What's the matter?
What's going on?
He's the CEO of Chungil Flour?
How...
How could this be?
Dad, what will we eat?
What do you want?
Daddy will buy whatever you want.
Did he not father Soo In's son?
Who is the real dad?
Soo In. Soo In.
We need to talk.
What's this about, Se Young? What's wrong?
Stay out of it.
I don't know what this is about, but we're at work.
Don't make a fuss and get out.
I told you to stay out!
Let's talk outside.
Why did you lie to me until now?
What do you mean?
Do you know who I just met?
I met Chungil's Mr. Kim Seon Woo.
You said he's your husband.
And the father of your son.
Mr. Kim's never been married.
How could you lie about that?
Why did you lie to me?
Because back then...
I was going to marry him.
Because I thought he would become my husband...
and my son's father.
No way, Soo In.
Are you going to keep on lying?
I guess your wedding fell through since you're selling clothes here.
Where's the dad? Who is he?
Why should I tell you that?
Are you not able to because it's Jeong Wook?
I told you clearly that it's not.
If it's not him,
why can't you tell me who the dad is?
Did you and Mr. Kim have a child out of wedlock?
Did you?
I don't know what right you think you have,
but I was working.
Please stop coming by and making me feel uncomfortable.
Soo In!
What's going on?
Why is she so angry with you?
There was a misunderstanding.
About what?
It's nothing. Don't worry and get back to work.
Are you sure everything's okay?
Yes. Sorry for causing a fuss.
Se Young, did something happen?
No.
I can tell right away that something did.
Tell me what's going on.
Mom, it's about Soo In.
Soo In? What about her?
Did you get back from seeing her?
What good will that do?
Why did you meet her?
Well...
Never mind. I'm tired. Can you let me rest?
Okay, I will, then.
Did you manage to pray at the temple?
Yes. Thanks to you, I got to pray...
and see Soo In.
I'm glad you did.
I bet you want to see Mr. Kim more than anyone.
I feel terrible seeing you have to pray instead of...
go and see him
I'm fine.
I met Seon Woo on the way back.
Did you?
Yes. He was off to see a buyer.
Is seeing him by chance the only way to see him?
If I can see him every now and then that way,
I think I'm fortunate.
You know who and where your son is, and you can't visit.
I told Dong Chul that you left home because of him.
Don't say you went to see Soo In.
Why did you tell him that?
So he would wake up.
I don't think he slept a wink last night.
I bet his heart sank...
and he gave up the building too.
You just do as I say.
Do you think I can?
You can. If Dong Chul still doesn't listen,
I'll tell him you'll leave home for good.
He needs to suffer as well.
Ms. Oh, I need your numbers.
Your birth date and time.
What for?
My sister wants to see if we're compatible.
What?
Do you mean she acknowledged us?
Yes. She accepted you.
Aren't you pleased?
How did you persuade her?
My sister just adored me since we were kids.
It took a while, but she finally waved the white flag.
Wait and see. She will grow to like you.
What if we aren't a good match?
Can we not get married?
Don't say that.
You and I are a perfect match.
A set of lovebirds.
I bet we'll be so compatible. There's nothing to worry about.
- You think? - Yes.
Hello, Shinchon Boutique.
It's me.
Madam Cho.
(Nakwon)
Tae Soo told me where you work.
I see.
Did you find a caregiver to look after Ji Hoon?
Yes. There's a neighbor with a child around his age.
I asked her to look after Ji Hoon.
It can't be easy for a mom with a young child...
to work at a store all day.
Tell me if there's anything you need help with.
I will help you if I can.
No, ma'am. You already have enough to worry about.
You don't have to worry about me now. I'm fine.
I asked to see you today...
because I wanted to see you...
and thank you for persuading Seon Woo.
I put you through a lot of trouble.
Please don't say that, ma'am.
If I think how you must feel...
and how much you must cry inside,
I feel so sorry and terrible.
My heart breaks.
I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me.
I'm...
more worried about...
Mr. Kim than myself.
Right.
I only imagine how he must feel.
He must be struggling a lot. He said he'd go to Japan.
To Japan?
I'd love to hold him back,
but going overseas...
might give him time to think.
I think I'll let him go.
You and Seon Woo both...
feel sad and heartbroken at the moment,
but things will get better in time.
One day, when a lot more time has passed,
you'll be able to talk to each other without any hard feelings.
Yes.
Did you have fun today?
- And ate well? - Yes.
You're such a good boy.
Because you did so well today,
I got you a present.
Grandma bought it especially for you.
- Grandma? - Yes.
Do you like it?
Yes, I do.
He must be struggling a lot.
He said he'd go to Japan.
I'd love to hold him back,
but it might give him time to think.
I think I'll let him go.
May I ask you something personal?
Yes, you can. Go ahead.
Is there a reason you suddenly...
gave up on Soo In?
You said you never would.
Why did you change your mind?
That's what you and Grandma wanted.
Is that your reason?
Is that really why you gave up?
I finally realized it wasn't as easy as I'd thought.
The risk I'd bring upon the company and the gossip.
I guess I didn't love Soo In enough...
to overcome all that.
I'm just one of those guys.
I talk of love easily...
and give up when things get too tough.
Mr. Kim.
Grandma was right.
A businessman shouldn't put his emotions first.
I was foolish.
It was meant to end this way...
and only I didn't see that.
You say that, but I know you're hurting inside.
No, I'm fine. I can talk and drink with you.
That's how indifferent I am.
Don't worry about me.
Honey. Young Sun.
Hello.
When did you get back?
Why did you leave without a word?
Why? She left for a day and now you see how much she meant?
What are you saying?
I always knew how much she meant.
And you still did what you did?
You always do what you want...
and never listen to us.
When did I do that?
Do you really not know?
You upset Young Sun...
so much by seeing Mr. Kim that she left home.
Did you really...
Was that why you left?
Was it?
You and I need to talk.
If you're that against it,
I'll give up on marrying Soo In to him.
Will you really?
I can't insist if it upsets you this much.
Can I really trust you?
This is the building contract.
If I tear it up before your eyes,
will you believe me then?
There.
I'll give everything up.
The three-floor building, being in-laws to Chungil's owners,
I'll give it all up.
Will you please stop being angry with me?
Honey.
I know how you feel...
and even Mr. Kim and Soo In don't want to marry.
I'm sorry for trying to...
force a wedding to happen.
Thank you. Thank you so much for coming around.
Will you not leave home again now?
Promise that you won't ever again.
It won't happen again.
You'd never disappeared like that.
Do you know how worried I was when you left without a word?
I'm sorry.
Jeong Wook doesn't seem to know about her son.
Se Young.
You're home.
Yes. I dropped by to see a client.
Were you waiting for me?
Yes.
Why? Do you have something to say?
Jeong Wook.
I'm listening.
Never mind. You must be tired. I'll let you rest.
What's this about?
It's nothing.
I just waited to check on you out of concern.
Goodnight.
Why is she acting like that?
(Chungil Flour)
Madam Cho has to go to Incheon today.
She wants you to approve these before then.
Okay, I will. Tae Soo.
Yes, sir.
Is Soo In doing okay?
Yes. I heard she found a job.
Did she?
She works at the boutique her sister worked at.
Oh, I see.
Thank you. You can leave.
Chungil Flour.
Are you Mr. Kim Seon Woo?
Yes. Who is this?
We met at the sewing factory because of Soo In.
Do you remember me?
How could I forget you?
Why did you want to see me?
To ask you something about Soo In.
I'll be direct.
Are you the father of Soo In's child?
What do you mean?
Why are you asking me that?
Can you please answer without asking for a reason?
Is the boy yours?
I don't know why you're asking...
and why I should sit here and put up with this.
It's a very important issue to me.
I want an answer.
This is all very unpleasant.
Don't come and see me like this.
I hope I never have to see you again.
Work always prevents me...
from visiting the orphanages.
I thought the facilities are so old and outdated.
Right. They were built right after the war.
They're old and even dangerous.
I was wondering if we could allocate them...
more funds this time to revamp their facilities.
We must if that's what they need.
I'll calculate an estimate and bring you a report...
when I have the numbers.
I haven't seen Mr. Kim recently.
Is he very busy?
Yes. He will leave for Japan soon...
to oversee the establishment of our office there.
Oh, I see.
I didn't know you had plans to open an office overseas.
I'd thought of it for a long time.
We'll give it a go before it's too late.
I see. An office in Japan...
I'm sure Mr. Kim will do just fine.
You must be sad to see...
your only grandson go.
It can't be helped. It's for the company.
Will he be leaving Korea with his wife?
I heard that he had marriage plans.
Oh, no.
He won't be getting married any time soon.
Oh, I see.
Hello.
Tae Soo. What brings you here?
Are you here with Madam Cho?
She's in with Mr. Jung,
so I came over to see you.
Did you? I'm glad you did.
How are things? Are you well?
So what if I am?
So much happened to the family recently.
I met with Dong Chul who told me a bit.
It was serious. Like a typhoon hit us.
It must've been hard for you to pretend not to know about Soo In.
How is she doing now? Is she okay?
Yes, she's fine.
Have you seen her son?
Yes.
I haven't seen her own son.
I haven't seen Soo In herself for that matter.
Why don't you come to Seoul to see her?
I should, seeing that she can't come to see us.
Tae Soo?
My gosh, look at you.
You look so much nicer now that you live in Seoul.
It must be nicer over there.
It is.
Madam Cho agreed to spend more on the orphanage.
Make sure that all the excess funds...
end up in our hands.
Yes, sir.
Chungil's Mr. Kim will leave to open an office in Japan.
- In Japan? - Yes.
This is the best time to take over the company.
Right. Everyone else will be focused on...
opening the new overseas office.
Yes, and it will be easier for us without...
Mr. Kim in the picture.
Let's get things started.
Okay. I'll start with contacting the directors...
on the foundation's board.
Do it.
I'll be direct.
Are you the father of Soo In's child?
What do you mean?
Why are you asking me that?
Can you please answer without asking for a reason?
Is the boy yours?
Are you well? Is Ji Hoon okay too?
Yes.
Tae Soo told me.
Is the work too hard for you?
It's fine.
Why did you want to see me?
Someone called Se Young came to see me.
Se Young?
She came to see you?
Yes.
What did she say?
She asked if I'm Ji Hoon's dad.
She wants to know who his father is.
If you need my help, just tell me.
I'll do whatever I can for you.
No. I'm so sorry for causing you...
even more trouble.
Don't say that.
I'm only here out of concern for you.
Madam Cho told me you'll be moving to Japan.
Yes, I will.
I hope you do well when you're there.
Take good care of yourself.
I will do that. You do the same for yourself too.
Mr. Ko, is Tae Soo gone?
Yes. He'd like to have a drink with us next time.
A drink? I'd like that.
Do you and Tae Soo share a lot of secrets?
Secrets?
Why would we?
I bet you have some.
I overheard you two talk.
About what?
About Ms. Yoon.
She has a child, doesn't she?
What are you saying?
Must we keep things from each other?
Tell the truth. Ms. Yoon has a kid.
Isn't that why she left Incheon in a hurry?
And hasn't been back?
It's not. You got it all wrong.
I'm saying so because I saw something with my own eyes.
What did you see?
Ms...
Ms. Yoon came out of a women's clinic.
That can't be. You were mistaken.
If you talk such nonsense again,
you will pay for it.
He's denying it even when I said I saw her.
Something's going on. I'm sure of it.
- Uncle. - Se Young. Why are you here?
What did you just say to Mr. Ko?
What? What do you mean?
You talked about Soo In.
Oh, that?
That's nothing.
I heard everything.
You said you saw her outside a women's clinic.
What did that mean. Did you really see Soo In?
I actually saw Mr. Yoon leaving a women's clinic...
while I was making a delivery one day.
What? Are you sure?
When did you see her?
When?
Let's see, it was...
It was around the time she was charged with embezzlement.
Was it before she was locked up...
or was it afterwards?
Maybe you were mistaken.
Are you sure it was Soo In you saw?
I should feed him...
a bit more alcohol.
(Yeonam Women's Clinic)
Wasn't that Ms. Yoon?
Are you sure? Was it really Soo In?
I'm sure. It was definitely Ms. Yoon.
Wait, Se Young.
What got into her?
Jeong Wook.
Where's Jeong Wook?
He just left to see a buyer.
When will he be back?
I don't know. He said he'd be a while.
Yoon Soo In. Yoon Soo In!
No? No?
It's not him?
Is it still not him?
Why did you call me out here?
Is this about another blind date?
It's not.
I didn't want to talk to you at home.
About what?
Man Pyo, do you love that woman?
Who, Seol Hee? You bet.
Do you now know how much I love her?
No, I do.
I just feel so sorry for you.
Why? What's going on?
I had a fortune-teller look at your numbers.
Already? That was quick.
We'll be happy, won't we?
You two cannot get married under any circumstances.
That's nonsense. We're a perfect couple.
That fortune-teller's a quack.
Did you go and see someone reputable?
I went to see someone who's very famous.
That fortune-teller said that if you marry that woman,
she'll die within three days.
What? She'll die?
Yes. Your fortune will cut hers short.
You mean Seol Hee will die because of me?
That's nonsense.
Hello, Mr. Hong. Do you want coffee?
No, leave it.
Are you sick? You don't look too well.
I'm not sick.
Have you ever...
gone to get your fortune told?
My fortune?
There is someone I see whenever I'm concerned.
Do you need help?
Shall I introduce you to someone?
No thanks.
Did any of the fortune-tellers say you wouldn't live a long life?
No. Everyone I went to see agreed on one thing.
That I'd live to be very old.
Then it's really me.
Ms. Oh.
What should we do?
What? Are you going to die soon?
I don't know what I should do.
I feel so sad.
What's wrong, Mr. Hong? Talk to me.
Mr. Hong.
Someone called Se Young came to see me.
She asked if I'm Ji Hoon's dad.
She wants to know who his father is.
- Ji Hoon. - Yes?
You and Mommy.
Shall we go somewhere else?
Somewhere else?
Yes. To another place.
How about we move to a place...
where there are mountains and the sea?
What do you think?
Can we not go?
Why? Do you want to stay here?
Yes. If we move, I have to leave my friends behind.
I don't want to say bye to Hyun Suk and Min Soo.
I'm home.
Jeong Wook.
How could you do this to me?
After all I did for you and your family.
What's wrong? Why are you like this?
Why did you lie?
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
How long were you going to keep it from me?
Why are you so angry?
Calm down and talk to me.
Do you really not know why I'm upset?
What's going on?
You said no. You said it couldn't be.
You said it never happened.
You said you weren't keeping anything from me.
Get a grip.
I have no idea what you're talking about!
Tell me the truth.
Do you really not know anything?
Or are you pretending?
Pretending what? What is this about?
Soo In.
Soo In and you!
Soo In. You mocked me and laughed at me behind my back.
What's wrong?
"What's wrong?" Do you really not know?
Your son's dad.
About the foundation.
I don't think you should give Mr. Jung too much control.
He wouldn't do what you think.
I want to marry Jeong Wook. Right away.
What? You, Se Young, and Ms. Yoon.
Did something happen that I don't know of?
