Check out the melons.
They're cheap.
- Are these fresh? - Hello, take your pick.
Is it nice?
They smell like they're nice and sweet.
Two apples?
Okay, two apples.
- Have a nice day. - Thanks.
My gosh.
Move! Get out of the way!
Move!
Oh, dear.
Who are you?
Are you Mr. Ax?
"Mr. Ax"?
You aren't a cop?
I'm here...
to ask for your help.
Darn it.
(Episode 97)
Take your time.
Thanks.
Do you know Jo Dong Cheol?
I want to know something about him.
How long have you known him?
Do you know what he did before he became a thug?
Mister.
Thanks for the meal.
But...
- Do you have a tail on Jeong Hoon? - Yes.
Is Jeong Tae not at work yet?
He checked the alcohol delivery then left...
on personal business.
Has he been up to something fishy?
- Like what? - Last year's accident.
Is he asking questions?
What's the point when it's in the past?
I guess. But still, watch him.
- Hi, Jeong Tae. - Hello.
I put today's delivery and receipts in the ledger for you to check.
I'm sure everything adds up. Why should I bother checking?
When I trust someone, I trust him to the end.
Get ready for business.
Let's go.
What kind of code is this?
Why are you so late?
Why? Did Mr. Jo complain I'm late again?
It's not that.
I have great news for you.
Is money falling from the sky?
That's the only news I'd like.
It's good news for your niece.
For Soon Young?
- You see... - Madam Gu.
Jeong Hoon's back home.
Min Su's dad is home?
He is.
His in-laws sent his stuff and then kicked him out too.
Don't put it like that.
We don't know if he was thrown out, or if he left voluntarily.
Either way, Jeong Hoon's back home.
It looks like he split up with his wife.
They're getting divorced?
Why else would he be home?
Doesn't that mean he can live with your niece?
Isn't that good news?
If Mr. Jo asks for me, say I got sick and left early.
Ae Shim, where are you going?
Soon Young.
Why didn't you go to work?
Min Su's dad is home.
What do you mean?
It's not just his stuff. Jeong Hoon's back at his place.
What could that mean? He's leaving his wife.
What did I say?
I knew it when I heard his in-laws sent back his belongings.
He's getting divorced from his wife.
If that's all you're going to say, then leave.
I said it has nothing to do with me.
How can you say that?
If he gets divorced, he'll come back to you.
Will you stop it?
If he does, don't refuse him and take him back.
You can't raise Min Su on your own.
I can manage just fine.
What? Can you really?
If it hadn't been for him, Min Su couldn't have had surgery.
Helping Min Su...
get the operation is all he ever has to do for us.
I'm more than grateful.
Now I want him to be happy regardless of us.
That's all I want.
Don't be silly.
When his grandma said she'd register Min Su as Jeong Tae's son,
I thought we should do that for your sake and Min Su's.
Now we don't have to.
We can put him as his dad's son.
Why hasn't Jeong Hoon come by?
If he left his wife, this is the first place he should visit.
- I'm off to visit Mi Jin. - Okay.
See if you can talk to them.
I hate them for sending Jeong Hoon back, but it can't be helped.
Do what you can do to change Mi Jin's mind.
She's just extra sensitive because she's pregnant.
Comfort her and calm her down...
so that Jeong Hoon can go home.
We can't let them split up now that she's pregnant.
See you later.
If we hadn't sent him to live with his in-laws,
we wouldn't have this problem.
Who is it?
Ms. Cheon, it's me.
Ms. Lee? What are you doing here?
I came to see Mi Jin.
She's in no mood to see any one of you.
Please leave.
Can I please come in? I won't stay for long.
You should've told us that you were going to visit.
I'm really sorry.
I'll see Mi Jin for just a while.
- Take this. - What is it?
I wanted to cook her something, but didn't know what to make.
When she visited us last time I made bulgogi,
and she liked that.
I brought some with me.
No thanks.
She can't eat anything. Why did you bring food?
Mother.
Mi Jin.
Why are you here?
Jeong Hoon told me the news. Congratulations.
Go and sit over there if you want.
No. Mi Jin's in the early stages of pregnancy.
I'll leave soon so she can rest.
Mi Jin.
Can't you forgive Jeong Hoon?
For your baby's sake,
forgive him and let him come back.
Sorry, Mother. I don't want to forgive him yet.
Seeing you makes me feel very uncomfortable too.
I'm going upstairs.
I guess Mi Jin doesn't want to stay married to Jeong Hoon.
Why would she?
He keeps seeing his illegitimate child.
What woman would put up with that?
That won't happen again.
The circumstances left him no choice.
It's not like he was planning to cheat.
Could you please talk to Mi Jin for me?
We can't let them split up like this.
I will go with whatever Mi Jin wants.
I'm disgusted by what Jeong Hoon did.
That's it. You can leave.
I'll leave this here then.
Take it with you.
Mi Jin can't eat anything.
Take it and feed your family.
- Jeong Woo. - Yes?
Where's your mom? Why are you on your own?
- She's visiting Jeong Hoon's wife. - Is she?
Gosh.
I heard you went to see your daughter-in-law.
Did you talk everything out?
She doesn't want to talk to me.
That's terrible.
When I heard that Jeong Hoon was home,
I thought you'd be feeling dreadful.
Visiting your daughter-in-law just made you feel worse.
How did the interview go?
They were more interested in...
the fact that I have a Master's, not my album.
All the questions were the same.
- Where's Se Ra? - In the practice room.
Okay. You did well, Hye Rin. Go home and rest.
He asked about Se Ra as soon as he got back.
He likes her.
- You know too? - Of course.
I can tell just by the way he treats her.
You don't know, do you?
About what?
Se Ra went to a snack food campaign.
The congressman she met that day liked her...
and told Daeguk's Mr. Hwang to have her sent to a bar.
Mr. Cha refused to the end.
- That actually happened? - Yes.
I heard that Mr. Cha took someone else...
and made the congressman very angry.
I bet that Daeguk's Mr. Hwang told off Mr. Cha as well.
When did you get here?
A while ago. Are you done practicing?
Yes. What's that?
Winter cabbage kimchi that I made.
Winter cabbage kimchi? You made it?
Kyung Ho's mom is teaching me how to cook.
This is my first accomplishment. Taste it. It's amazing.
You're learning how to cook?
My dad worries that I grew up...
without a mom and can't do any housework.
I'm learning for his sake and to make him feel better.
If I'm to earn my in-laws' love,
I need to be able to cook.
Are you really thinking of marrying that guy?
Yes.
Did you end it with my brother?
You ended it with Kyung Ho.
Why can't I do the same?
Are you really completely over Kyung Ho?
- Do you have any regrets? - No.
You're so cold. Do you like your CEO that much?
What do you like about him?
Why is he better than Kyung Ho?
Why talk about me when we're talking about you?
You tell me first. I'm curious.
With Kyung Ho...
I liked him, and he liked me,
but I need Mr. Cha,
and he needs me.
What does that mean?
It's about needing, not liking each other?
My feelings for them are different.
What do you like about the guy that you want to marry him?
He likes me, so I'm going to try to like him.
Jeong Tae never liked me.
I followed him around.
But Tae Shik says he likes me.
He's nice to me, and I'm grateful.
He made me think that I can be loved too.
I see.
Oh, you don't know that Jeong Hoon's home, do you?
Jeong Hoon?
Yes. Did he leave his wife for good?
Why else would he come home?
Come in.
I'd like to visit my family.
Is something wrong?
Jeong Hoon came home last night and stayed the night.
Does Mi Jin really want to split up with him?
Is that why Jeong Hoon came home?
What's more important is that Mi Jin's pregnant.
- She's pregnant? - Yes.
It'll be tough to get divorced now.
Are you concerned that they'll get divorced?
Do you want them to split up?
You don't like my brother.
I'm afraid that you'll end up hating me because of him.
I don't want them to get divorced...
so don't hate me because of that.
Bok Shil.
Are you going home?
Yes. I heard that Jeong Hoon's back.
- Do you know too? - Yes.
Is that why you're going home?
Did you get to talk to him?
Are things really that bad with his wife?
We didn't talk much. I couldn't really ask.
How is he at work?
If things are that rocky, he must feel awkward at work.
He'll reconcile with his wife. And work is just work.
His father-in-law is running for office,
so Jeong Hoon has to run the company.
I see.
Are you doing okay?
Of course I am.
How are you? Are you doing well?
Yes, I'm fine.
Let's go.
Sure.
Bok Shil.
I might be speaking out of place, but why won't you come home?
Your mom no longer objects to your career choice.
Can't you move back?
Is it because of me?
You feel uncomfortable seeing me?
You needn't mind me.
So...
if I'm the reason you can't come back, it's fine.
I'm saying that because I think you still feel bad.
I have to go.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
- Come upstairs. - Yes, sir.
Come in.
- Take a seat. - Okay.
Is your family worried?
- Did you call Mi Jin today? - Yes.
I called her this morning.
You might not get to come home while she's still angry.
You need to persuade Mi Jin.
Hello?
Why did you call?
Really?
Okay, hang up.
Being pregnant changes your taste.
Mi Jin wants jokbal.
Don't just sit there. Get some jokbal and go home.
Okay.
Come on, try to eat some more.
Do we have jokbal?
I asked your dad to buy some so you can eat that later.
Eat this for now.
No thanks.
Why are you here?
You wanted jokbal.
Here you go.
How did you know that? Did my husband tell you?
I brought some that were freshly cooked. Have some.
You can go now.
Yes. Don't aggravate her and get out.
Your mother came by earlier today,
and Mi Jin's in a bad mood.
- My mom was here? - Yes.
Ask her what happened, now get out.
Mi Jin, eat whatever you can and get well.
Take good care of her for me.
Don't mind him and eat this.
- It looks delicious. - Give me that.
Slow down will you?
Seeing you reminds me of when I had you.
When I was pregnant with you, we could barely afford a meal a day.
Whenever I mentioned jokbal, your dad always got me some.
I don't know how he afforded it.
Dad was like that?
Yes.
I didn't know before then, but that's when I fell for him.
When you're pregnant, even something small...
your husband does for you stays with you forever.
A couple is happiest when the wife is pregnant.
A husband will do anything for a woman carrying his child,
and the wife has a right to boss and whine for a while.
That's part of the fun of being married.
You struggled to get pregnant and are missing out.
Darn that Jeong Hoon.
What did Mi Jin say?
Was she mean to you too?
It'll take a while for her to thaw.
She's pregnant, and she still won't take Jeong Hoon back?
Why didn't you try to appease her?
We can't let them split up when a baby is on the way.
We can't let that one become fatherless too.
Mom, Jeong Hoon's back.
- Hello. - Jeong Hoon.
Sit. I'll bring you dinner.
No, Mom, I'm not hungry.
I'll go to my room.
You need to eat.
Mother. Go and rest.
Let him get some rest.
Yes, Grandma. He looks terrible.
He looks drained.
How did Jeong Hoon end up like this?
Choon Ja, are you upset our families can't meet right away?
It's because your parents are too busy farming to come to Seoul.
It can't be helped.
Thanks for understanding.
Sorry.
Don't be.
I can learn how to cook in the meantime.
That's right.
Tae Shik.
Choon Ja.
Sorry.
It's fine.
You can go home.
I can go by myself from here.
Choon Ja, take care.
What's up?
Why are you in low spirits?
You don't need to know.
What's got into her?
Jeong Hoon.
Let's have a drink. Do you mind?
No, sounds good.
Jeong Tae.
Say what it is you want to say.
It was about my father-in-law. Why didn't you tell me?
I said I don't need to anymore.
Don't bother.
What'll you do with Mi Jin?
You don't want to leave her, do you?
Do you see her at all?
Have you seen her since you moved back?
I bought her jokbal.
Jokbal?
She can't keep anything else down,
but she eats that.
So I bought her some.
It reminded me of Soon Young.
Mi Jin has a family to care for her...
and buy her whatever she wants to eat.
Soon Young didn't have that luxury.
She couldn't celebrate being pregnant.
How hard must it have been?
She couldn't have eaten what she craved.
And still...
Still she blames herself.
She laments that Min Su is weak because...
she didn't eat well when she was pregnant.
It's all my fault.
I wronged her so much.
You didn't mean to.
Others might not get it, but I do.
Jeong Tae.
Min Su leaves hospital tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - Yes.
I paid off the hospital fees in advance.
I can't be there.
Can you help them get discharged and take them home?
Sure. I'll do that.
I told you to go home.
Min Su leaves tomorrow, and you can't manage it on your own.
Was Jeong Hoon here today?
Why would he come here?
Then he'll come tomorrow when Min Su's discharged.
Aunt.
Soon Young, don't push him away.
It looks like they're getting divorced.
Then you two should get back together.
That won't happen.
Jeong Hoon hasn't been here which means he doesn't want that.
You should wish him to be happy, not get divorced.
Wish him to be happy?
Do you mean that?
I'll live quietly with Min Su once he's discharged.
Don't say that again.
You fool. Think about Min Su.
He needs a father.
- Kyung Ho, are you going to work? - Yes.
Wait just a bit.
What are you doing?
Give me a moment.
I don't feel anything.
You idiot.
Are you not over him?
Why does my heart pound when I'm around Jeong Tae?
What's wrong with you?
Do you still have feelings for my Kyung Ho?
I was just being silly.
Kyung Ho's not my type.
- I'm off to work. - Okay, see you.
Choon Ja, were you practicing to link arms with your boyfriend?
It's not like that.
Mal Soon.
Thanks for all the effort that went into teaching Choon Ja...
how to make kimchi.
She's pretty good, isn't she?
The kimchi was delicious.
That kimchi was mine.
What? It wasn't what Choon Ja made?
Don't even ask. She couldn't even cut a cabbage...
that I got frustrated and made the whole thing myself.
She's useless at housework.
I don't want to learn. It's so annoying.
You need to learn if you're to get married.
Shall I ask Ok Boon to help instead?
Sang Man, do you think Ok Boon would be able to teach Choon Ja?
I guess you're right.
Why would you ask Ok Boon when you have me?
Did you say you'd pay me if I teach Choon Ja?
Then buy me a large sack of rice.
Then I'll teach Choon Ja how to keep a house.
A sack of rice?
Yes. It's a deal.
Okay. Negotiations are over.
What? Jeong Hoon's mother came by?
Yes.
She was anxious that her son might get divorced.
Don't speak like that.
I hate her guts.
What's the point in begging now?
Will you really let Mi Jin get divorced?
I don't know.
If I think what Jeong Hoon did, it's obvious he should go,
but I can't ask Mi Jin to raise a baby on her own.
Why won't you finish your meal?
I want to see Mi Jin.
Mi Jin.
Dad.
No, stay in bed.
You must feel so weak now that you can't eat much.
Is there anything you want to eat? Just tell me.
I'll buy you anything you want even if it's from abroad.
Mi Jin.
How does it feel living here without Jeong Hoon?
The breakfast table feels so empty without you two.
You have a baby to think about.
Can you raise it on your own?
Stop hating him...
and take Jeong Hoon back.
Min Su.
What's wrong? He's supposed to go home today.
He's burning up.
Aunt, get the doctor.
Okay, I will.
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
Why are you here?
I heard you're going home today. What's going on?
- Min Su's having a high fever. - What?
- He has a fever? - Yes.
It's okay.
The surgical area is inflamed.
Is it bad, doctor?
I'll give you an exact indication after we do a blood test.
He can't go home today. Wait here.
I'll come back with the equipment.
Min Su.
Why does he keep causing trouble?
Min Su.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
Hey, is Min Su home?
Yes, he is.
- Already? - Yes.
Did you take them home?
Yes. Don't you worry.
I called in case you were waiting. Bye.
Thanks a lot.
Is he better now?
Yes. He fell asleep after he got the injection.
Lucky for him, the blood test results showed it's not serious.
Why isn't Jeong Hoon here yet?
Does he not know Min Su leaves today?
Aunt, you can go.
I can manage here on my own.
You brat.
Fine, I'm leaving.
I told Jeong Hoon Min Su's home in case he got worried.
Thank you. Don't tell him about Min Su's condition.
You should leave too.
And don't come back.
- I'm off to the restaurant. - Ok Boon.
Why is this in our kitchen?
Why did you bring back the bulgogi you made for Mi Jin?
Mi Jin's not able to eat anything, that's why.
Those evil people.
They sent back food that we made for her?
How could they be so rude?
How dare they...
Hello.
- What brings you here? - Why are you here?
Let's go inside. I'd like to speak with you both.
I can't believe I'm back here.
Who'd have thought this would happen?
What do you have to say?
Min Su was supposed to go home today, but he wasn't able to.
He wasn't discharged?
Why? What happened?
I'll explain that later.
I came to see you for a reason.
I'll tell you that first.
I want Min Su to be registered as a member of your family.
What?
But...
(Through the Waves)
- He's your blood. - He is.
He should get back with Soon Young.
- I'll come back. - Oust Jeong Hoon...
- He doesn't want a divorce. - The darn fool.
- I'll try. - Thanks for taking me back.
I'll try again.
Daeguk's CEO called Bok Shil to a bar?
This is all we sold?
You're inhuman. Min Su wasn't able to leave the hospital.
What do you mean?
- Why couldn't he leave? - Are you worried?
Why couldn't Min Su leave? Tell me what's wrong with him!
