(Episode 22)
What? Give up on my audition?
Yes.
Have you gone insane?
You'll have to give up.
If not, I'm going to disclose everything.
Disclose what?
I saw you...
dropping Han Woo Jung's phone in that water bucket.
You helped me too.
We're accomplices.
Let's set the record straight.
I'm not your accomplice. I just neglected it.
Hwa Kyung!
Stealing and throwing away someone's phone is a crime.
You can be criminally charged.
I'm sure you don't want to be humiliated.
If you give up on this, I'll make an opportunity for you.
I have a reason why I must seize this one.
Why did you call me when I'm so busy?
How did the shooting for the advertisement go?
Is that what you wanted to know?
Do you want to play with my heart...
to find out if Ms. Han and President Shin met again?
They met again?
It's not that.
You didn't know?
Vice Chairman Oh and President Shin have been working on this together.
Of course, I know that.
But they had a bit of a quarrel last night.
I was worried because they could have made Ms. Han feel uneasy...
in some way.
I knew it.
Something was really weird today.
They looked like a sweet couple doing business on the outside,
but something about them seemed like a bomb that's about to explode.
It was absolutely nerve-racking.
That must have made Ms. Han feel very uncomfortable.
She never shows how she feels on the outside so...
Let's stop this.
I am not going to tell you anything regarding Ms. Han.
Wait, while we're on the topic,
I told you about what happened at the villa...
- to undo the misunderstanding... - I know...
your intentions.
But the misunderstanding seems to have gotten worse.
It wasn't a misunderstanding.
What do you mean?
They just talked for 20 to 30 minutes?
Did you say it wasn't a love affair?
I checked the security footage.
I trusted what you said...
and tried hard to help Mom resolve the misunderstanding.
But she saw the security footage,
and I became a liar.
So what happened?
Things got worse. Thanks to someone.
Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
What you see isn't the entire truth. I'm sure there's a reason...
What reason do you need to hug?
I thought you wouldn't lie at least.
I must've been wrong.
I'm really disappointed.
Wait, Hwa Kyung.
She thinks I'm a liar now.
You won't even congratulate me.
Congratulations.
You don't mean it.
Because it wasn't a real audition.
What was it?
Do you think I rigged it?
Eun Sung lied and you were late.
Weren't you involved?
In what?
Did you have nothing to do with my being late?
I don't know what you mean.
You were there too.
When Eun Sung lied that the audition was at 5pm, you too...
What do you expect from me?
When Eun Sung lied,
should I have corrected her and said it was 4pm?
Why?
"Why?" Hwa Kyung.
How can you turn a blind eye when you see someone tell a blatant lie?
Even an elementary student knows that's wrong.
Even a kindergarten kid knows.
Can you say you didn't want me to come late...
and lose the opportunity?
No.
What?
Don't expect anything from me.
You should be glad that Eun Sung lied and not me.
Yes, Chang Soo.
How could he?
He's too scared of Mom to have an affair.
No, something's going on.
This is driving me crazy.
Should I tell Mom? Or not?
She's still pretty after all this time.
What should I do?
Yong Sim will throw the worst tantrum if she hears she's back.
No. My goodness.
She gave me so much money.
What should I do about this now?
This is insane.
I'll lose the money if I tell Yong Sim,
but if I keep the money, Yong Sim will throw a fit.
Why aren't you at work?
Gosh, it's so itchy.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
Hand it over.
- What? - The money.
Money? What money?
25.50 dollars from the hair salon.
That?
You're nagging me for that?
Here's 30 dollars. You keep the change.
I'll kill you if you keep anything from me.
Come and help. We're dead busy.
I'll be right there.
This must be what it feels like to lose a baby you don't have.
What now?
When did you get home? I didn't hear you come in.
Why are you glaring?
Dad. Have you done anything wrong?
Anything wrong? Like what?
You're upset that I didn't give you your allowance.
Here's 30 dollars. That's not all.
80 dollars.
I don't want it.
Hey, Jae Hee.
She refused money? Is that really my daughter?
Jae Hee, are you mine?
I thought about what you said.
A full-time caretaker.
Yes.
I know that you're a good friend to Woo Cheol.
But being a caretaker is a whole different issue.
It's not like your family...
can help like at the restaurant.
Please give me the job. I really want to do it.
Why do you want to do something so hard?
Woo Cheol doesn't like strangers,
and we're close.
And when I lost him for a while,
I felt a sense of responsibility.
Then let's do this.
It'll take a while to find a professional caretaker.
Watch him only until then.
I'll do my best.
I'll watch him carefully so that you won't have to worry again.
What would you do if you were me?
I'm not sure.
It's okay. Speak your mind.
I'd grab onto your wife's sleeve and beg for forgiveness.
What?
I can't convince her that way.
I have to make her cling to me.
Hello, Hwa Kyung.
Stop drinking.
Hwa Kyung. I'm scared.
What if your dad leaves me?
I grit my teeth and cut him off like you said.
What if he doesn't come back?
You haven't let him go yet.
What?
You really need to believe you let him go.
Only then will he come back.
What more can I do?
I yelled at him to leave when I wanted him to stay.
Your grandpa threw him out right in front of me,
and I just stood and watched.
And?
When he showed up at the shooting set...
and when I saw him with Han Joo Won,
I was infuriated, but I held back.
Your dad and Han Joo Won.
I wanted to push them both into a fire pit.
I tried so hard to hold back.
Why hold back?
What?
I told you. You must make Dad believe you.
You must make him believe...
that you can leave him and push him into a fire pit.
Only then will he stop going behind your back.
He'll stop seeing Han Joo Won in secret.
He won't even think of seeing her again.
What if he really leaves me?
What if he wants to live with her?
How can I live then?
Trust me.
Teach them both a lesson.
Only then will Dad stay with you forever.
Slow down or you'll get sick.
I'm full now. I was really hungry.
Is something wrong?
I failed the "Missing Memories" special episode audition.
Why?
I wasn't good enough. Why else?
Who got the job?
Hwa Kyung.
Did she do better than you? Really?
Yes. She did really well.
That brat.
After you get off the bus,
Jae Hee will be waiting for you.
Stay with her until I get home. Does that sound great?
Yes, I'm going to meet Jae Hee. I am happy.
Woo Cheol, you must have gotten fond of her.
I know it's going to be tough,
but Jae Hee wants to do this. Why don't we give her the job?
Working as a caretaker and being friends are different.
I'm going to decide after I watch her for a while.
That must be Mr. Yoon.
Hello.
Vice Chairman Oh, what brings you here?
I told you. We have a lot to discuss.
Mom.
You should get to work. Take Woo Cheol with you.
Hi, Mom's manager guy.
Hi.
Woo Jung, you're leaving rather early today.
Where's Ms. Han?
She's with a guest.
A guest?
It's too early right now. Who came by?
Goodness, where are their manners?
I should go in and try to bring her out.
Why don't you come with me and take Woo Cheol to school?
Who is it?
A very pretty lady.
- A pretty lady? - Yes.
Vice Chairman Oh Yeon Hee.
Your place is cozy and neat just like the lady of the house.
I don't have much time.
I would appreciate it if you could get to the point.
Do you really have no idea...
why I'm here?
I don't.
I came to give this back to the owner.
How do you think I knew...
that this brooch belonged to you?
You probably heard from President Shin...
that I checked the security footage at Yangsuri villa.
I understand how it can look misleading on the video.
I apologize for that.
But nothing else happened after that.
What do you want?
What do you want from him...
by using your history as a weapon?
It looks like you have enough fame already.
Money?
That's enough.
I'm sure there are many others who would like to offer you money.
Do you want me to look for someone?
Or I can give you as much money as you want.
How much do you want?
I said, that's enough.
Vice Chairman Oh came to visit her at home?
What if they have a fight?
Slapping each other, pouring water, and pulling hair like a soap opera?
What are you talking about?
Why would my mom be humiliated like that?
Did my mom really have an affair with President Shin or something?
Of course not. It all happened in the past.
The past?
It's nothing.
You have to tell me everything you know.
What do I not know?
You're absolutely rude.
I may not be as rich as you, but I make enough.
I don't use my past...
as a weapon in order to get money.
Then what is it?
Why do you keep lurking around him?
Do you want him?
Vice Chairman Oh.
You said you'd be our model knowing that there's a misunderstanding.
You don't need fame or money, but you keep seeing him.
Then there's only one reason.
You want him.
No.
I want to avoid him at all cost if that's possible.
As you know,
I decided to do the advertisement because Chairman Oh was persistent.
You're good at lying, Ms. Han.
Lying?
Do you think I ran all the way here just because of that hug?
Nothing you say can be used...
as an excuse for the way you looked at him in the footage.
Why did you look at him...
with those kinds of eyes?
Why did you look at him...
with resentment, longing, regret, and sympathy?
Fine, you two dated for a short time.
Did that short time feel like an eternity to you?
Why did you look at him, my man, with such eyes?
That's enough.
Woo Jung, why did you come back?
Mom, you won't lie to me, right?
What? Of course not.
Have you ever dated President Shin?
It happened long ago.
Was it before President Shin and Vice Chairman Oh met?
Yes.
Then what about now? What's your relationship with him?
- Woo Jung. - Tell me.
Tell me and Vice Chairman Oh the truth. Let's make this clear.
You already know that we just meet for business.
You said you didn't do anything shameful and to trust you.
Is that true?
Yes.
You heard her.
My mom never lies to me.
My mom and President Shin are not in that kind of a relationship.
I don't care if you believe that or not.
Please leave.
I hope you will never lose your daughter's trust.
Please excuse me.
Mom.
Where's your mom?
She went to a breakfast meeting.
Yeon Hee went to a breakfast meeting?
It seems like she is starting to get interested in work.
If interest can solve all the problems,
no problems would exist.
Only if your mom was good at doing business,
I wouldn't be this troubled.
Grandpa.
Yes?
Please don't think of this as my trying to get rid of my dad.
Then what is it?
I wanted to make sure Dad never made Mom feel lonely again.
And to do that, I thought she had to abandon him first.
You think he'll come to his senses only after he gets punished?
Yes.
Did you come up with that plan?
I thought about something I could do for Mom.
It's not a bad idea.
But it's dangerous.
- What? - What if your dad...
doesn't do things as you expected? What would happen?
No, he can never leave Mom.
How can you be so sure?
Because I know him very well.
Then what about me?
Can you be sure that you know me well too?
What?
I kicked him out of this house.
I took his work away too. I might not take him back.
I don't think you'll do that.
Because you love Mom a lot.
I do love her, of course.
Of course, I do.
That hits the spot.
What? Do you disapprove of my choice?
No, sir.
I can't give in like this.
I can't believe you saw that.
I'm embarrassed and ashamed as your mom.
Why didn't you tell me...
that you and President Shin used to date?
I didn't think I had to because it was so long ago.
Also, you and Hwa Kyung don't get along as it is.
I was afraid things would get worse if you found out.
Does Hwa Kyung know?
I'm not sure.
She might by now.
Considering that her mother was here.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Then I'd have understood why Hwa Kyung's family...
suspected you and President Shin...
and why Hwa Kyung tried so hard...
to distance herself from us.
Does she give you a hard time?
It's not easy.
- What? - Is there more?
What do you mean?
Anything about you that I don't know...
even though I should.
- Not anymore. - You know, right?
That I trust you and that I am on your side.
I know.
How was your outing?
Fine.
How did it go?
I did as you said and warned her off.
I told her to stay away from your dad.
What did she say?
She was thick.
Do you feel better?
No, I didn't get the ending I wanted.
Woo Jung suddenly butted in.
Woo Jung?
She knows too?
That her mom and my dad dated long ago?
Yes.
How did she react?
She trusts her mom 100 percent.
She's quite daring just like her mom.
What's the point of venting at Han Joo Won?
Your dad's the problem.
He hasn't called once.
Give him some time. Don't get too antsy.
It looks like he can manage just as well without me.
Even cooked rice feels like sand in my mouth,
and when I sleep, it feels like I'm wandering in a dream.
Every day is torture.
But your dad...
must like it better without me.
He must eat, sleep, and smile better without...
That can't be.
I bet that...
even now, he's wondering how to appease you.
Trust me, Mom.
That must be Dad. Have a look.
(My Husband)
Wait for a bit.
Don't give away that you were waiting for his call.
Okay.
(My Husband)
Oh Yeon Hee speaking. Who's this?
Did you delete my number?
Oh, it's you.
I answered before checking.
Why did you call?
Did you have breakfast?
Yes, something light. Did you?
I don't have an appetite.
What do you want?
I'll get a table at our favorite restaurant.
Let's have lunch together.
Lunch? Let me check my schedule for the day.
Fortunately for you, I'm free for lunch. See you.
See you later.
That's not like her.
It's Hwa Kyung.
Hwa Kyung's controlling her.
He wants to see me.
What should I wear? How should I do my hair?
My makeup should be subdued, not colorful.
There's not much time.
I should call Ms. Park at the hair salon.
Is this a date?
- What? - Are you excited?
Are you happy that you'll see him?
To be honest, yes.
Mom.
I know I shouldn't be like this,
but my heart flutters like it did when we first dated.
I want to dress up for him and get some compliments.
Have you forgotten...
how he treated you?
Why Grandpa threw him out...
and why you were moping around just five minutes ago?
I haven't forgotten. I remember everything.
But Hwa Kyung, I think your dad feels bad.
He skipped breakfast because he had no appetite.
He sounded so low and crestfallen on the phone.
I'm sure he asked me to lunch to apologize and...
- ask for... - What if not?
- What? - What if it's not that?
Why else would he ask me out to lunch?
Don't let him manipulate you. Then you'll get what you want.
I'll try. I'll be cold and aloof.
Act like you didn't want to come and that it's all a hassle.
Okay. Like it's a hassle.
Even if Dad apologizes, don't accept it right away.
Even if he apologizes?
Mom, listen carefully.
If you feel anxious, make Dad feel the same way.
If you want to cling onto him, make him want to cling onto you.
Only then will he truly become yours.
Go and get ready.
Make sure that Dad and everyone else think you're the prettiest.
I'll pick out what you should wear.
What should I wear? This or this?
This suits you best.
Does it? I'll wear this then.
Mom.
- Where is it? - Where's what?
The security footage from the villa.
- Why do you ask? - I need it.
What for?
There's something I want to break.
I'm glad the files are still there.
(Secret and Lies)
What about what they did there?
- What do you mean? - I saw it for myself.
Dad.
I can't let this go on.
- Mom. - What?
Dad's cheating.
What is it that you want to say?
- What are you doing? - I gave it a lot of thought.
Let's get divorced.
