Don't tell Mom...
that we met her. Never.
Okay.
But that was really unexpected.
What do you mean?
I didn't know you care about your mom that much.
I've been thinking that way a lot.
I just felt shy and awkward to step closer to her.
Then say that to your mom.
Let's take it slowly.
We are both not familiar with being friendly so soon.
Is that so?
You're not so different.
- Your mom... - Don't talk about that.
But her daughter's pregnant. We should tell her...
(Recovery mode)
You guys are late.
Yes, we are.
Your vitamins are there.
It's on the dining table, so have it.
(Employee card: Seo Young Hee)
Mom, did you get the job?
Did I leave it there?
I thought I left it in my room.
What is this? It doesn't look like you have to work in the office.
Why is it saying you are working at a supermarket?
What about it?
Did you think I would become a team leader or a chief right away?
Doesn't it mean you are a part-timer?
I'm a full-time employee!
Do you think getting a job means you are working at the head office?
I thought it was something big.
Gosh. You are really good at making people annoyed.
What? Is it bad for being objective?
You didn't even have a job before.
That's annoying.
If you want to show off, do it when you work in the head office.
I don't care. I'm going to sleep.
Why are you so good at hurting someone?
Why are you laughing?
Mom, do you remember when I first got here?
- Why? - Min Soo...
is just like you.
What?
You guys are just the same!
You're just the same.
What? Seriously...
What are you doing?
I'm in bed and trying to sleep.
Are you not curious about anything?
I was waiting for your call.
You said you were trying to sleep.
I was waiting at the same time.
I was going to sleep if you didn't call me.
How did it go?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Everything's right.
So I don't want to admit it even more.
Se Young.
Do you think you'll have a better life when Sang Jin's divorced?
If he's reinstated and proved to be innocent,
do you think you'll feel confident?
Just denying it...
doesn't mean it'll be buried away like it never happen.
Even though my life hasn't been what I wanted,
I had nothing to say...
in front of your aunt.
I'll take care of it. Stop that.
Before she threatened me to kill me,
she came to see me.
I was in the last month of my pregnancy.
With a bunch of cash...
and a huge bag of rice,
she kneeled in front of me.
I don't want to listen to it. Don't tell me about it.
She told me to give you to her...
since it's her husband's fault.
She said she would raise you as if you were her own child.
She told me to live a new life.
- I'll hang up if you don't stop. - However,
I couldn't do that.
Because you're my daughter.
It's just heartbreaking. Why do you want to say that?
Because I raised you wrong,
I...
regret it a lot.
If you were the lawful wife's daughter,
you wouldn't have been...
so bitter and ill-natured like this.
I'm hanging up.
Just go to sleep.
If only that was possible,
I wish I could carry the burden on her shoulders.
Did you talk with your mother?
Yes.
I'm not sure if I have the right to say this,
but it's still hard for me to move on.
What do you mean?
I didn't feel this way when I gave her money.
But now that Min Soo and Young Hee are being like this,
- I don't feel so comfortable. - Does it even matter?
Then how do you feel about Yoo Yeon?
I should take some time to think...
about what's the best thing I can do.
Get out. Don't come into my room.
I think I should care more about my looks.
How do you feel?
I thought I'd be so thrilled,
but I'm actually not that excited.
- That's surprising. - It reminded me of the old days...
as if it happened yesterday.
It felt pretty good.
It was a long time ago,
but it feels familiar.
Putting on makeup and going to work.
- Mom. - Yes?
I met Yoo Yeon's mother today.
At Min Soo's aunt's restaurant.
Min Soo must've made a fuss.
He worried about you.
A lot.
He doesn't hate you...
as much as you think.
I know he doesn't hate me.
You do?
I gave birth to him and lived with him for decades.
How would I not know?
Then why do you say mean things to each other?
We don't want to show our scars to each other.
We haven't healed up enough...
to comfort each other yet.
We're pushing each other away to hide our scars.
The more we get close, the more we'll try to comfort each other.
When are you going to stop squabbling with him like this?
When we can act casual.
When we can talk about it...
without a blink or qualm.
They chatter away whenever I try to be a dad.
It embarrasses me.
Aren't you worried about your father?
I'm not sure.
I won't bring up anything that would hurt you.
I won't ask you anything either.
But...
the fact that your father went to the police station...
has nothing to do with your mother.
I think I'm a little selfish.
I want to escape from what I worry about.
And I want to put on a bold face.
I don't want So Myung to have those feelings.
So I want to get away...
from grief and fear.
If So Myung feels sad or afraid because of me,
it will just make me more sad and afraid.
Then So Myung will feel that as well.
Then...
I should probably...
take care of your father's issue too.
Can you do that?
Actually, I've been thinking.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
But I know someone who can take care of it.
Really?
So don't be sad or afraid.
Just be glad.
And...
about your mother.
That's no business of mine.
Please don't bother.
But it actually bothers me all day long.
Mom.
Do you remember what you told me before?
You said you were upset...
with Min Soo and his father.
Yes. I remember.
I feel the same way with my dad.
I'm very upset.
I don't know why though.
What are you doing there?
Nothing. I couldn't sleep.
Nice try. It won't work out easily.
Nobody can be good from the beginning.
I was going to wake you up. I'm glad that you're here.
Me? What do you want?
What do you think about my divorce?
What does it have to do with me?
It's between Dad and you.
All right.
That means you have nothing to complain of.
Look at the apples you peeled. It looks ridiculous.
I didn't do it for you.
Jung Hyo is asleep.
And the apples will be dried out tomorrow.
I'll meet her tomorrow.
Why?
This is delicious.
Why would you meet her? You'll get a divorce anyway.
Mom.
Can't we just live like this?
Are you worried about me?
But what else could I do?
I'm meeting her because of you and Jung Hyo.
Because of me?
What does Jung Hyo have to do with it?
Your dad and I will become strangers.
But you and I won't become strangers.
And we don't know anyone else who can take care...
of Jung Hyo's father's issue.
I don't understand any of your words.
I'll make you respect your dad again.
- Mom. - And I don't want...
Jung Hyo to be worried.
Mom.
That's all you need to know.
I'm thirsty.
The apple is dry.
- Hello? - Hello, is this Mr. Jung Su Cheol?
- Yes. - About the assault case.
I was wondering if you want criminal mediation.
Criminal mediation?
When there's an assault case, we give the assailant and victim...
- chances to settle it out of court. - Excuse me.
I'm innocent.
I didn't even get paid for what I delivered.
Why would I settle it out?
If it's about money, you should settle it according to the law.
You're currently on probation. If the case goes to court,
you'll end up with additional punishment.
It'll be better for you to settle it out of court.
Take some time, and think about it. We still have two days left.
Are you going somewhere?
I need to stop by somewhere.
Mom.
Why are we having breakfast so early?
I need to go somewhere.
Dad will drive you to daycare today.
Hello?
Are you going to the airlines?
I'm about to leave now.
Don't go.
Just have a cup of coffee at a nearby cafe.
And send me the address of the cafe.
- Why are you... - Didn't I tell you?
He's still my husband...
and Min Soo's dad.
I'm the one who should settle this matter.
I'm almost at the airlines.
Do as I tell you...
if you don't want to be humiliated.
Since we...
have come this far...
Daddy, I told you to do my hair pretty.
What's this?
Why? Don't you like it?
It looks pretty to me.
I hate you. I will be embarrassed.
To be honest,
I haven't done anything like this before.
What should we do?
Whatever.
Yoo Yeon.
What time do you have to go to your daycare?
I should be there by 9am,
but Mom always used to drop me off earlier than that.
Then shall we ask Aunt to do your hair before going to daycare?
- Shall we? - Yes, let's go.
Let's go!
Wait a minute.
- Yoo Yeon. - Yes?
Imagine...
you have an older brother.
Would you like it or not?
- An older brother? - Right.
An older brother...
nice and handsome like me.
I'd like that. But do I have an older brother?
Do you remember the guy who was with us yesterday?
Is he my brother?
Well,
if you meet him,
don't call him brother. Just say nothing.
Make a pretty face and smile.
Why?
He picked up his personality after some older lady,
so he's kind of cranky.
Is he scary?
He's not scary at all.
He's a real man like me.
Anyway,
smile at him no matter what,
and make a pretty face. Do you get it?
- Yes. - All right.
Let's go. Put on your shoes. Let's go!
I'll be out today.
Have a meal with the side dishes in the refrigerator.
Call me right away if anything happens.
I'll be back soon since we should go see the obstetrician today.
Mom.
I'm out.
I'll bring delicious stuff after I'm done with my part-time job.
You can come to Aunt's restaurant if you feel bored.
Take a rest.
It's my first time...
to be alone at this house.
Are you Captain Han's...
Right.
The company is in chaos these days,
so I guess you can remember me better.
What brought you here?
I'm here to meet Ho Joon.
You mean Captain Kang?
Right.
He should have come to work early.
He comes to work at 7am...
and goes to shine the shoes...
the Senior Managing Director wears in the office.
I see.
Call him, please.
I'm a bit busy.
I guess you won't need to call him.
It was nice meeting you.
Ho Joon.
Seo Young Hee!
It's been a long time.
It really is.
Well,
if you're here for what happened to Sang Jin...
We've decided...
to get divorced.
- Really? - Yes.
Can we talk for a minute?
Well, I'll go to the bathroom for a minute.
Wait at the cafe.
All right.
Getting divorced?
She ended up like that after all.
Am I the only one...
she can come back to?
He looks familiar.
What does she have in mind?
(Cafe Meoroo, Gimpo 380)
Do you think you'll have a better life when Sang Jin's divorced?
If he's reinstated and proved to be innocent,
do you think you'll feel confident?
Just denying it...
doesn't mean it'll be buried away like it never happen.
You can lose things only after you have them.
Why do you act like you've lost things...
when you never even had such things?
He's still my husband.
Don't talk like it's all done.
Don't be arrogant and talk to me like he's already your husband.
It won't take long. Wait there for just 30 minutes.
It's latte.
You still remember what I like.
By the way, what brought you here?
I don't think you came here to see me.
No way.
Do you think I came here just to see you?
Sitting together with you like this...
reminds me of our college days.
If you had chosen me...
instead of Sang Jin back then,
we should have been very happy.
Do you think so?
I didn't like you...
in a way like how Sang Jin respected you.
I loved you...
with all my heart.
I know...
about Sang Jin's respect...
and your love.
You knew it?
Yes.
I was sure,
but I wanted to ask you.
I wanted to hear it in person.
Well,
since I already confessed my love,
I'll tell you this.
Although I'm married and have children,
first love...
is always kept...
in a man's heart.
I'm ready.
Rather than hoping for a love that's already cooled down,
even though it's a deviant behavior,
- you and I... - What are you talking about?
What?
No?
Wasn't this why you were here?
I'm just telling you the reason...
why I gave up the man who loved me...
and chose the man who liked me out of respect.
What?
I didn't have enough confidence to love you.
You're such a man...
who can sell your own wife to someone with power.
I didn't have confidence to marry you.
Hey, Seo Young Hee!
Don't say my name.
You can only shout...
to those who are weaker than you.
You don't deserve to say my name.
My gosh. Seriously.
Seeing that you haven't changed...
and still live off people with power,
I'm more certain that I made a wise choice.
Are you here to take it out on me...
for what happened to Sang Jin?
Do you think you even deserve that?
Do you know why I chose Sang Jin?
Sang Jin might have respected me, but I...
loved Han Sang Jin.
You didn't have to...
come all the way here to say that.
You're right.
I wouldn't spare my time for someone like you to say this.
Open up your ears, and listen until the end.
Is that why he had an affair?
With his coworker?
Affair? Yes.
He did have an affair, and he even has a child.
But you still want to side up with him?
I still loved him.
I comforted myself...
that he doesn't love me anymore.
I couldn't let it go and loved him alone.
So I said I will raise Se Young's child too.
So I let him go because it'd be easier to part...
than loving him.
That's how I got this far.
Get Han Sang Jin...
back to work.
How do you expect me to do that?
I knew you would say that.
I'm not here to ask you. I'm here to threaten you.
You wouldn't...
When Han Sang Jin had an affair...
Please.
Help Sang Jin...
from getting kicked out.
I'm not the one who makes the decision,
but if we get Se Young out,
the executives wouldn't say much.
If Sang Jin's sister also leaves,
the company will consider it.
All I have left now...
is Sang Jin's uniform.
I beg you.
Don't worry.
But make sure to keep your promise.
I will try my best to protect Sang Jin.
Okay. I will.
No...
You wouldn't...
If he doesn't get back to work,
not just you, but the whole company will be in trouble.
Why do you have to do all this?
This is...
my last pride as I let him go.
Until the end,
I'll be respected by Han Sang Jin.
That's enough for me.
Who are you?
- My mom's son. - What?
Seo Young Hee's son?
Don't you dare say my mom's name.
If you want to make things worse...
by getting beat up by a young man, I dare you to chase her.
Sit.
What would you like to drink?
We can't have tea together,
but I have a favor to ask you.
Drink. It's on me.
