Yeo Reum,
how would you feel if I were your dad?
If you were my dad?
I want to be your dad.
Do you want the three of us, your mom, you, and I...
to live together?
The three of us?
I'd like that.
What do you think, Yeo Reum?
Why? You don't like that idea?
It's not that. I'd be happy.
Really?
Do you really want that?
Yes, I like seeing you every day.
Thank you, Yeo Reum.
- Yeo Reum. - Mom.
Hi.
My dad told me Yeo Reum was here.
Yes. Did you go somewhere?
Where were you? Why do you look upset?
I just met your father.
- My dad? - Yes.
I heard you told your parents you'd cut ties with them.
Why did you say that, Sang Won?
It's a decision I made to protect you and Yeo Reum.
I told you...
I'd do anything if I can protect you and Yeo Reum.
Still...
How would I be with you...
after making you cut ties with your parents?
Are you saying we can't be together?
Life would mean nothing without you and Yeo Reum.
How am I supposed to live on if we can't be together?
Sang Won.
Can't you be brave...
for me, Geum Hui?
I told Yeo Reum as well.
I asked him what he thought about me being his dad.
- What? - I said we'd live together.
He said he would like that.
And I think your father will also be on our side.
My dad will?
Yes. He said he'll ponder upon my plan.
So Geum Hui,
please try to be brave.
Please?
I'm not sure...
what would be the best for all of us.
Let's think of only Yeo Reum.
You and I...
can raise him to be happy. I'm sure of it.
He'll cut ties with his parents?
That's right.
It looks like he told his parents that he'll cut ties with them...
to take care of Geum Hui and Yeo Reum.
So, what did you say? Did you agree with his plan?
What do you take me for?
Is it something you could agree on?
Of course it isn't. It sure isn't.
However, honey, aren't you grateful toward Mr. Ju?
Even if I am, it'd be pointless.
I think that's how desperate he is.
Don't you think at least we should give him emotional support?
Obviously, you agreed with his plan.
I said I didn't. Gosh.
Besides, you know it's impossible to cut ties with your parents.
What? If you know that,
why did you tell Seok Ho cut ties with his brother?
You said you would approve of him if he did.
It's different.
How is it different? Gosh.
Anyway, don't let what he said sway you. Do you understand?
We're home.
Hi. Welcome home.
- Did you have fun with Mr. Ju? - Yes, I did.
Did you take Yeo Reum to the restaurant?
He said he wanted to cook for Yeo Reum. How could I refuse?
I mean, we know who he is now.
Geum Hui, come here and sit down.
- Can you wash your hands alone? - Yes.
Then go upstairs, wash your hands, and change your clothes.
- Yes, Grandma. - Go on.
What are you two going to do?
How could he be so reckless to say he'll cut ties with his parents?
I don't know.
I hope it didn't change your mind.
Mom.
You said you're fully aware that you two can't be together.
That's right. I'm fully aware of that.
I know that. However, Mom...
To be honest, I'm so grateful toward Sang Won.
I'm so grateful for what he did for me and Yeo Reum.
But on the other hand,
I feel so bad for him, Mom.
So? Are you saying that you want to get with him?
I know that I shouldn't even think of doing it.
But Mom,
I'm getting greedy without even realizing it.
I came to desire to trust him and follow his lead.
I can't believe you.
What would other people think?
How would you deal with other people's criticisms?
The three of you won't be alone in this world.
Do you want to get pointed at for the rest of your life?
They can live overseas.
Mr. Ju seems to consider it too.
Honey, come on.
All right. Stop it.
I can never watch you, my own daughter,
getting pointed at for the rest of your life.
So pull yourself together and focus on raising Yeo Reum.
Do you understand?
My goodness.
Why won't you answer me? Do you understand?
However, Mom,
if Sang Won and I can't be together just as you said,
and only one of us could raise Yeo Reum,
should it really be me?
What are you talking about?
I just met Sang Won's father.
And he said this.
It would be better for Yeo Reum to be raised by his birth father...
rather than an adoptive mother...
in this society where there's bias for his future.
That's complete nonsense.
There's no one who could raise Yeo Reum better than you do.
If I think I'm the only one who could raise him well,
wouldn't that be arrogance?
Sang Won is good father material,
and he can raise Yeo Reum better than I do.
Why are you being so weak-minded?
How can you think of sending Yeo Reum to him...
after all you've done to adopt him?
Do you think you can live without him?
Are you sure you can stay sane?
If it's good for Yeo Reum, I don't mind what would happen to me.
Geum Hui.
I'll go upstairs.
Like I said, it would be great if they raise Yeo Reum together.
Will you really keep making me repeat the same thing?
Honey, did you try to convince Sang Won?
Nothing I say would get any attention of him.
But should we just sit back and do nothing?
Wait a little while. We'll hear some news soon.
What news?
You didn't even talk to Sang Won. What news are we expecting?
I talked to Wang Geum Hui, so she could understand.
So just wait as I told you.
Is that so?
What did you say to her?
I said it'd be better for Yeo Reum to be raised by his birth father...
rather than an adoptive mother.
That's true. Of course it's better for him.
So, did she say she will send him to us?
Gosh, come on.
If you were her, would you say it right away?
You're right.
By the way, you made a good point.
You're absolutely right. If she wants the best for Yeo Reum,
she should let his birth father raise him. She should.
They can raise him together.
Do you really have to take him away from her?
Yong Soon, stay out of this.
Do as he says, Yong Soon.
Let's stay out of this.
How can I stay out of it? Geum Hui is the one who protected Yeo Reum.
We can compensate her for adopting and raising him.
Even you're trying to solve it with money too?
Yong Soon, stop it.
When Yeo Reum comes, we'll move out.
What? You'll move out?
Think about it.
If you bring him home,
you and Aunt Yong Soon will have to raise him...
in this house until Sang Won gets married.
How can we live in the same house with that kid?
Don't you agree, Jun Ho?
We can think about it later, Sang Mi.
You don't have to think about it later.
Do as you want. It bothers me how Jun Ho and I don't see eye to eye.
So you two should move out.
Gosh. How could you say such a mean thing?
What did I say?
I guess making other people upset is Mother's hobby.
That's not true.
You two don't get along well just as she said.
Even if that's true, did she have to say it like that?
So, do you not want to move out?
I didn't say that.
I'm the one who wants to move out of this house as soon as possible.
What?
I'll go wash up.
What does that mean?
Come on in.
Where have you been?
I'm sorry, Seok Ho.
I didn't mean to cause such trouble.
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I told you...
that Mr. Park sounded like a typical swindler.
I know.
I should've listened to you.
So, can't they arrest him?
I heard that he fled overseas.
In that case, you won't get the money back.
Seok Ho, I will...
work for the rest of my life to pay you back.
I will make sure to pay you back.
Actually, I wasn't the one who repaid your debt for you.
What? If it wasn't you,
who repaid that much money?
Who do you think? It was Jun Ho.
What?
- Jun Ho repaid it for me? - Yes.
Jun Ho...
(Mother)
Yes, Mother.
Why are you answering Jun Ho's phone?
Put Jun Ho on.
He's taking a shower right now.
You can talk to me. What is it?
Why would I talk to you when I have to talk to my son?
Mother.
I'm disappointed you would say that.
I'm Jun Ho's wife and your daughter-in-law.
You're my daughter-in-law?
Are you saying I'm not?
You never acted like my daughter-in-law.
How could you say you're my daughter-in-law so shamelessly?
Mother.
Wait a minute. Jun Ho just came out.
Here. It's Mother.
Why did you answer my phone?
Jun Ho.
What did I do wrong for everyone to act like this?
What is it?
Jun Ho.
Seok Ho told me...
that you paid back my debts.
Thank you so much.
Is that the only thing he told you?
What?
Didn't he tell you I won't ever see you again?
Jun Ho.
I don't have any reason to see you anymore.
So, please don't call me again.
I'm hanging up.
Wait, Jun Ho. Jun Ho!
I'll do everything I can...
do pay you back, Jun Ho.
Do you have a secret with Mother you're keeping from me?
I must be right.
What is it?
Don't you have secrets with Mother you keep from me?
What?
Have I ever asked about the secrets you keep with her?
Jun Ho.
I'll repeat myself.
Please don't touch my phone.
Was I that wrong?
You were taking a shower, and I saw it was Mother.
I answered because I didn't want her to wonder where you were.
Was it wrong for me to do so?
She'll probably think I have my reasons for not answering.
Also,
when did you start worrying about my mom...
that you didn't want to keep her wondering?
- Jun Ho. - Let's go to sleep.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
Enjoy.
The weather is getting cold.
The leaves are starting to change as well.
That's right. This year went by so quickly.
Geum Ju, don't dress lightly just to look nice.
You'll catch a cold.
All right, Dad.
You too, Sue Yeon.
Okay, I won't.
I like it when you worry about me.
It's what my dad always said,
so it feels like he's back from the dead.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Grandpa, Mr. Ju said he wants to be my dad.
- Yeo Reum. - That's what he said, Mom.
He said the three of us,
Mom, Mr. Ju, and I, would live together.
Really? He said that?
Yes, Uncle Geum Dong.
That's great.
What did you say, Yeo Reum?
- Did you say yes? - Why would you ask him that?
Why, Mom?
Don't say that, Yeo Reum.
All right?
Why not, Grandma?
I want to live with Mr. Ju and Mom.
Stop it! I told you not to say that!
Honey, why are you yelling at him? Yeo Reum did nothing wrong.
It's okay, Yeo Reum. Eat up.
Okay.
What were you thinking?
Geum Dong, you go in first.
What? Okay.
Hi, Mother.
Mr. Ju, are you really being considerate of Yeo Reum?
Excuse me? What do you mean?
Why would you say such a thing and confuse him?
Mother.
Did you hear Geum Hui met your father yesterday?
Yes.
I believe he said he thinks Yeo Reum would be better off...
with his birth father than an adoptive mother.
- Did you hear that as well? - No.
She didn't tell me that.
I've already told you, but I don't think you can be together.
Geum Hui agrees with me.
She was considering it after she met your father.
She wonders if she should have Yeo Reum live with you.
Is that true?
Yes.
If you really want to protect Geum Hui and Yeo Reum,
please just give up your right as his birth parent.
I'm sorry for saying this,
but I have no other choice.
I'll get going then.
Could I have some too?
Of course. You can have this one.
Thank you.
How is Seok Ho doing?
- He seems to be happy dating. - Dating?
With whom?
- It's not Geum Ju, is it? - It is.
My mother-in-law must have approved of it.
I see.
Wait. What do you mean your mother-in-law?
My former mother-in-law.
You'll get in trouble saying that.
What?
That could start a huge fight if you make a mistake like that at home.
I might make such a mistake here, but not at home.
You won't tell on me to Sang Mi, will you?
I'm not like that.
I know, but just to be sure.
Anyway, I heard second marriages are tougher.
I hope you have a happy marriage.
What brings you here?
- I'm here to see my dad. - I told you.
It isn't that easy to cut ties with your parents.
Wait. I heard he met Geum Hui yesterday.
Are you here because of that?
I told you it's none of your business.
Stop being ridiculous and listen to me closely.
Seeing you here, I believe Geum Hui turned you down like I expected.
You should give up now.
Don't hang on to something impossible and harass Geum Hui.
Okay?
Of course. Geum Hui is like that.
Good job, Wang Geum Hui.
Why did you come without calling?
I heard you met Geum Hui yesterday.
So?
I thought you'd understand me even if Mom didn't.
How would I understand you when you want to cut ties with me?
I have nothing to say about that,
- but Dad... - I made it...
pretty easy for her to understand.
Why? Did she say she won't give Yeo Reum up?
- Is that what she said? - No.
I can't allow that, not her.
What?
Even if we can't be together because she won't accept me,
I won't ever take Yeo Reum away from her.
Ju Sang Won!
If you and Mom keep meeting her and tell her to give Yeo Reum up,
I might give up my parental rights.
What? You'll give up what?
You'd give up your parental rights?
Yes, so stop...
meeting her and harassing her.
Are you really going to disappoint me like this?
I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed with you as well.
What should I do?
I should get going.
Wait, Sang Won. Wait!
Sang Won.
What did you mean by that?
You might give up your parental rights for Yeo Reum?
How can you say that after all you've done to find him?
I only hope I won't have to.
I'll get going now.
Sang Won.
- Yes, Ms. Heo. - Hi.
I'm just checking on you since you haven't called me for a while.
- I gave up on Sang Won. - What?
What do you mean you gave up on Sang Won?
I heard that Yeo Reum is Sang Won's son.
Well... Did you also find out about that?
Yes.
But why is it a problem?
You said you would raise Sang Won's child.
I did such horrible things to get with Sang Won.
But as long as Yeo Reum is his son,
I don't think I can be with him.
Why? Is it because you don't like Yeo Reum?
No.
It's not like that.
It's because Sang Won looks as if he exists...
only for Geum Hui and Yeo Reum now.
That's nonsense.
Why would you think that way?
Sang Won just came to see Dr. Ju.
- Sang Won went there? - Yes.
He said he'll give up his parental rights if he can't be with Geum Hui.
He told his father...
not to think of taking Yeo Reum away from Geum Hui.
What? Is that true?
Did Sang Won really say he'll give up his parental rights?
Yes, he did.
Since he's so determined,
there's nothing I can do to change his mind.
I have no choice but to give up.
Let's talk about it again later. I should go now.
Bye.
Sang Won will give up his parental rights?
He must have lost his mind.
He'll make sure that Geum Hui will raise him if he can't get with her.
Where are you going?
Where do you think I'm going? I should go stop that crazy brat.
Do you really think he'll listen to you?
Are you telling me to just sit back and let her take Yeo Reum away?
I should do something.
Why does everyone like Geum Hui so much?
It's so annoying.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Yeo Reum. - Mom.
Let's go to see Mr. Ju today too, Mom.
- Do you like him that much? - Yes, I do.
But you shouldn't bother him because he's working now.
I won't bother him. I'll behave myself.
Will you? Then...
His break time is coming soon.
Shall we wait until then at your grandma's hair shop?
Sounds good to me.
Let's get going.
Oh, right. I need to buy something for your class.
Will you wait at your grandma's hair shop?
I'll do that.
Good.
Yeo Reum.
Hello.
- Hi. Have you been well? - Yes, I've been well.
Do you know who I am, by any chance?
I'm your grandmother on your father's side.
- You're my grandmother? - Yes.
You know the owner of this restaurant, right?
- Yes, I do. - The owner of this restaurant...
is your real father.
- Is it hard to understand? - Yes.
Let me put it this way. The restaurant owner...
is your birth father who had you.
My birth father who had me?
That's right.
How smart. You are so quick at understanding.
I want to go to my mom.
Your mom?
Yeo Reum, listen to me carefully.
Your mom whom you're living with right now...
is fake.
She has nothing to do with you. She's fake.
What's wrong, Yeo Reum?
You're wrong.
What? What do you mean by that?
My mom is not fake, ma'am.
Excuse me.
- Grandma. - Hey.
It's okay, Yeo Reum.
(Home for Summer)
I will never let Yeo Reum grow up with a grandmother like you.
I will file a lawsuit as soon as I leave.
So brace yourself.
You're still so rude and annoying.
Don't be disrespectful to your future sister-in-law.
Is Mr. Ju really my daddy?
Do you want to see Mr. Ju?
I'll meet Yeo Reum.
I found you too late, but I'll be a really good father, Yeo Reum.
