(Episode 48)
Let's do this.
(Mediation Meeting Room)
What's going on?
What is Ji Seok doing here?
(Defendant)
Who was that?
What did I just see?
Why is your nephew sitting next to my daughter?
I have no idea.
Excuse me.
(Mediation Meeting Room)
It's time. Please be seated.
(Min Ji Seok Law Office, Attorney Min Ji Seok)
This is unbelievable.
How can your nephew...
be in charge of my daughter's case?
What kind of a coincidence is this?
Could it be...
that your daughter found out Ji Seok is my nephew...
and did this on purpose?
I don't think that's the case.
If she knew, she wouldn't have taken things this far.
She threatened you before saying she'd disclose your history...
to your nephew.
If he was right there,
she wouldn't have put in the effort to come this far.
I guess so.
What do we do now?
What can we do?
We might end up losing this lawsuit.
Your nephew has a high rate of winning.
The lawsuit isn't important.
Ji Seok is about to find out everything about my past.
Where is the plaintiff?
I just saw them right outside.
Let's wait a little longer.
(Defendant)
Yes, this is Min Ji Seok.
What?
Okay, Lawyer Kang. Bye.
It's their lawyer.
Something suddenly came up,
- so they cannot be here. - What?
They were just here. Why?
I don't know.
What? What are you talking about?
- They didn't show up? - Why?
No idea.
I definitely saw Oh Na Ra at the court.
And she was so confident up until that time.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
What suddenly came up...
that they couldn't show up?
Is this another scheme?
What do you mean?
Why has the mediation been postponed?
The plaintiff didn't show up.
- What? - I heard her dad's new wife...
was at the court.
Then why didn't they show up?
That's what I don't get.
Aunt.
You look tired.
You really know me.
Yes, a bit.
You said you were concerned about something. Is that why you're tired?
How did you know?
My client's dad...
had an affair with some woman 10 years ago.
And the woman is really wicked.
I see. Why?
My client's mom was pregnant at the time,
and she told her to get an abortion...
because she's in love with her husband.
Then they suddenly showed up and sued her to support them...
because they became credit delinquents.
How do they call themselves human?
Isn't this absurd?
I've taken up many odd cases,
but I've never seen such human garbage.
How can they do this to a fellow human being?
No, I can't believe she's even human.
She's worse than an animal.
I'm so enraged by this. Imagine how my client feels.
Gosh, I really wanted to see their faces today.
Watch, and see. I will win this case no matter what.
I became a lawyer to make the world better...
for good people like her.
I can't let them win.
I see.
Okay.
Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.
Why?
Lawyer Kang just called me.
He said we might lose the case.
- What? - Then he suddenly got angry...
and asked me if I offered to give my kidney...
because I wanted to ask them for money.
They're getting ready to sue me for fraud.
Wait, then this means Ji Seok knows everything.
My goodness. What if I end up in prison?
The lawyer says...
we might have to give them child support expenses.
My goodness.
This isn't good. Let's not sit around.
Why don't we beg Ji Seok for mercy?
Are you insane?
Are you going to tell him that we're the two animals?
What? Did he say we're animals?
Yes.
If he finds out that's me,
I will never see him until the day I die.
Then what do we do? What can we do now?
You're quick with these things.
- We lost. - What did you say?
We...
lost.
No way.
(Jang Ok Ja's Cooking Class)
What? What did Grandma find out?
Don't get me started.
She heard all about how Mom fought this woman...
at the temple.
I guess so. I'm sure a lot of people were there.
She probably got angry at Mom.
Yes, very much.
And did Grandma bring that up again?
Yes.
Once again, she said Mom is the one who killed her son.
My goodness.
I mean, even my heart was broken when I heard that.
I can't imagine how Mom felt.
- I feel so bad. - This is so hard.
I'm good at mediating other people's cases,
but I can never do that for Grandma and Mom.
When will they ever get along?
That's why...
- I came up with something. - What?
Is there a way for them to reconcile?
I'm not sure it'll work, but we should try everything we can.
First, take your talisman out of your pillow.
I have a talisman in my pillow?
Mom got some talismans from the temple.
They're supposed to help us get married.
She put one in your pillow without telling you.
Gosh, I can't believe her.
Why don't we put the talismans in Grandma and Mom's pillows?
Who knows?
They might help them get along.
Let's do it.
Wait. What's this?
There's already a talisman.
Who put it here?
Gosh, why won't it close?
- Eun Seok. - Hi.
Why are you holding my pillow?
Well...
I came to see you,
and I saw a bug on your pillow.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Is it about your mom?
Sorry?
Grandma.
Can't you try to understand Mom?
I tried.
Regardless of how I feel about her,
I tried to open my heart to her many times.
But look what she's done.
Is she a kid? How could she...
get in a fight at the temple where her husband's ashes are kept?
Stop trying. No matter how hard I try to accept her,
she keeps struggling to get away from me.
Who is responsible for my son's death?
Who is?
I'm boiling up here too.
- Mom. - The stove is turned off.
You'll boil over.
- Are you still feeling bad? - You heard?
Just make up with Grandma.
It's not something I decide.
It's up to Grandma, you see?
I'll be blunt. Did I kill your dad?
Mom.
I know.
We went on a trip because of me,
and my husband died on that trip.
But...
who do you think feels the saddest about it?
Do you think your grandma is the only person who is sad?
I'm sad too.
I still wake up in the middle of the night looking for your dad.
And I realize there's nobody in bed next to me.
Your grandma doesn't know how that makes me feel.
It hurts me too.
What does she say to me?
She doesn't realize it hurts me as much as it does her.
She just blames me for her son's death.
How could we make up?
It'd be easier to cut off each other completely.
But you can't go on like this.
Whatever. I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I want daughters-in-law...
who will be on my side...
and badmouth your grandma with me.
Mom.
Did you put a talisman...
in Grandma's pillow too?
How did you know? Does your grandma know too?
No. I'm just asking.
Gosh. I thought she found out.
Why did you do that?
Ours are supposed to help us get married, but...
Mom, it's nothing bad, right?
What? Do you think...
it'll make her die or something?
- Mom. - Mom.
Don't worry.
I was hoping it'd help us get along.
Eat breakfast.
Aunt. Grandma.
Breakfast is ready. I don't feel like eating.
Suit yourself.
What's going on?
Why is it so cold here?
Hi.
- Did you sleep well? - Yes.
Someone took all my worries away.
I fall asleep right away these days.
I'm having a good morning thanks to you.
It'll be an especially good morning after hearing this.
Do you have some good news?
I sure do. We...
- won. - What?
What did you say?
Thank you for the breakfast.
Just by seeing you eat,
I become full.
But you already emptied your bowl.
I wish we could have breakfast together every morning.
I'd love to do that, but your mom wouldn't like it.
- What are you getting at? - Why?
She thinks I talk too much while eating.
Mom, you should talk too.
I read somewhere that...
you should take your time and have a conversation...
when you eat.
Your mom won't do that.
She hates talking while eating.
No. She loves to talk when she's drunk.
What?
When she's drunk,
she talks all night.
I can't get any sleep.
I didn't do that.
Go Woon is right.
Mom can't stop talking when she's drunk.
Maybe you should have a drink every morning before breakfast.
Guys, stop teasing me.
I'll go brush my teeth.
Thanks to Go Woon,
I'll be able to talk as much as I want from now on.
I always had to worry about getting in trouble.
You never worried.
You said whatever came to your mind.
Wait.
- Just a second. - Why?
I become so nervous when you do that.
Do you have something to say?
What is it? Go ahead.
Mom. Aunt.
San Deul. Go Bong.
We won.
- What? - We won.
They'll withdraw the suit.
- Is that true? - Really?
I don't have to go to prison?
In addition, they'll have to pay us too.
That's great.
He should start acting like a dad now.
We won!
Hurray!
What happened?
Your aunt is just happy that she can talk as much as she wants.
Are you that happy?
Yes. I'm so happy.
Go Woon, let's dance.
I'm so happy.
- I can't believe it. - How do you do that?
Like this?
Mom.
What's with you?
We won.
It's over now.
Yes. You've been through so much.
We can relax now.
Yes.
What a relief.
But something doesn't feel right.
We won the lawsuit,
so I should be more thrilled.
Go Woon's teacher.
Goodness, my cold is getting worse and worse.
Hello?
Oh, it's Go Woon's sister, Mi Mi.
Is that so?
Did I keep you waiting for long?
So I guess you knew that...
we promised to meet.
Of course.
I'm sorry.
I hate how some people try to get away with everything...
just by saying they're sorry.
Do you know how long I waited for you?
You make promises to keep them.
If you made a promise, you are supposed to be there.
How can you exploit my time like that?
I am very disappointed...
Mr. Min, actually, what happened is...
- Are you okay? - Yes.
I suddenly came down with a bad cold, so...
Goodness, were you sick?
Yes. My entire body ached,
and I was high in fever. I couldn't make it there.
But still, I should have made it even if that meant...
I would collapse due to fever.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no. It's okay. You should take care of yourself.
Did you see a doctor?
Yes. I feel a bit better now...
Goodness, that sounds bad.
This isn't good. You should stop talking.
Right, then what about your phone?
Don't worry about that.
I will call you to pick it up...
if I feel better tomorrow.
Okay, then. Get some good rest.
So she was sick. I had no idea.
Are you sick?
I'm sick too.
Goodness, this cold.
Here's your coffee.
(Dad)
Yes.
Okay, I'll see you there after work.
Why is he here again?
Excuse me.
She left the shop open. Where did she go?
Yang Sook, are you here?
Did she go somewhere far?
Oh, goodness.
What was that?
Yang Sook.
Goodness. You were here.
Why were you hiding?
Were you avoiding me?
It's not that. I thought that I was...
too rude to you last time.
This isn't a hospital.
- What? - I thought...
you were a very honest person.
I'm disappointed.
What did I do?
We decided to be friends that day.
How could you break your promise right after you made it?
Well, but still. How can I call you a friend?
Why not?
Back then, you called me by my first name.
I used to love winter,
but after I got divorced, I began to hate it.
Winter seemed much colder to me.
Right.
You're still better off than me.
You have a dependable daughter, an adorable son,
and their aunt right around the corner.
They say a large family can never have a peaceful day.
We're always in a turmoil.
They're my worst enemies.
Anyway, Doctor Han.
I mean, Jae Woong. Is your mom your only family?
No. I have a younger brother,
but he moved abroad.
It's just me and her in Korea.
I see. You must get pretty lonely.
My nephews come to comfort me.
Are they children of that brother who lives abroad?
No. My ex-wife's nephews.
Do you still keep in touch even after you got divorced?
Yes. I did divorce her,
but I couldn't cut them off.
They're like my own.
I understand.
I consider his sister like my own family.
Even though I just want to rip that man apart.
Life is pretty funny if you think about it.
But isn't it too harsh to want to rip him apart?
I know that he had an affair,
but he still offered his kidney to save his child.
The problem is that everything was a show.
A show?
He didn't want to save him at all.
He put on a show to get money from us.
What?
You must be happy that you won against me.
I'm not here to fight you.
I came to ask for a favor.
Ask.
I wanted to see you one last time too.
As you know, I'm a credit delinquent.
And I have to get treated...
because Go Bong fractured my ribs. That's why I ask this of you.
It's...
about the child-rearing expenses.
Can you hold that off until I get a job?
I need to make a living for us.
I ended up like this after trying to get your support,
but please do me a favor.
I'll hold it off.
Okay, then.
Anyway, why did you want to see me?
How are your ribs?
How can they be okay?
It hurts whenever I breathe.
And it gets really horrible...
when I start coughing.
- Take this. - What is this?
Calcium. Get well soon.
This isn't going to...
I'm not sure if this will help, but thanks for the thought.
And...
What's this?
You gave me this...
and told me to buy Go Woon...
a hearty meal.
Why did you keep that on you?
One day,
if Go Woon asked me about you,
I was going to show him this and tell him about you.
That his dad...
tried very hard to save him.
My goodness.
But...
I don't need it anymore.
Are you finished?
Well...
About hitting you that day...
Never mind. Excuse me now.

Someone you miss...
Go Ya, did you mess up your exam again?
How did you know?
You're my daughter. Of course, I know.
I'm so upset. I studied really hard.
Sometimes, you do poorly.
Sometimes, you do well.
That's life.
What's important is to remember...
that you're a worthy person no matter what.
You're my precious daughter,
Choi Go Ya.
You look prettiest when you laugh.
Laugh.
We won.
Why do you look so sad?
Aren't you happy?
I am.
I'm so happy that I want to scream.
But why am I sad at the same time?
When Dad left us 10 years ago,
I saw his back for the first time.
He said we shouldn't see each other again.
I saw his back again today.
I've been abandoned by my dad...
twice.
I guess...
I'll never see him again.
I'm sorry. I'll get going.
I won't look.
Just don't cry alone somewhere.
Cry in my arms instead.
It won't be cold at least.
(Forever Enemies)
- Were you thinking of me? - Does it show?
Congratulations on your first day.
Live for yourself from now on.
Why would I keep quiet for your sake?
You should learn...
how painful it is to be abandoned by someone you love.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here.
Did he just turn me down?
I'm just curious.
She might become my daughter-in-law.
- I want to see it for myself. - If you're most afraid of...
your nephew finding out about your past,
I'll do my best to make that happen.
