Yes?
Your dad found out. You should run away.
I'll call you back.
EPISODE 27
I'll drop Eun-u off at home first.
No, I'll just get off here.
Are you really going to run away?
I need to save myself first.
Stay on my tail and make sure to follow.
Goodness.
I need to get going. I'll call you.
What?
Ji-ho...
My goodness.
Jeong-in?
What are you doing here?
-Hey. -What's with the photos?
How should I know?
It was from an anonymous sender.
-Where's Dad? -Just leave.
Leave if you want to keep your head on!
I've already braced myself for this.
Jeong-in, wait! Gosh, what do I do?
Explain yourself.
Explain what's in these photos.
It's as you see.
He has a child.
-What in the hell are you-- -I'm going to marry him.
Jeong-in, this isn't the time or place--
There's never a good time!
You're not in your right mind, are you?
You're notifying us instead of asking for our approval?
How is this appropriate?
-We're your parents-- -If I ask,
will you approve?
You've totally lost it.
Jeong-in, you're being too unilateral right now.
You need to give us time to think about this too.
I know that your answer is absolutely no.
What point is there in thinking when you've made your decision?
I'm glad you said that.
The fact that you know we'd disapprove
tells you just how absurd this idea is!
You're right. It's absurd.
I didn't think I'd be like this either.
Sometimes, I even catch myself in a daze.
I think to myself, "How did this even happen?"
But you know what?
I've never once
regretted this.
It's why I proposed to him first.
-Bring him home. -No.
Why not? But you said you'll marry him.
I know you're planning to humiliate him and drive him away.
So lash out at me.
I'll gladly take the beating,
but I won't bring him over.
-Hello? -It's Jae-in.
My mom isn't picking up, so I'm clueless as you are.
I'm on my way there though.
I'm outside the house.
Don't tell me you'll go in.
Don't you dare. My dad will kill her.
You don't
have to date Gi-seok.
Fine.
I'll give up the job at the foundation after I retire.
What?
I'll give up what I want as well.
I'm sorry,
but I can't give him up.
Jeong-in.
You're only thinking of yourself. Don't be stubborn about this.
Also, you should take some time to think it over.
Think about what?
This isn't happening.
The possibility of it happening is zero!
Honey, please! We can give her our opinions,
but the choice is hers.
Why do parents exist?
We're not supposed to just watch from the sidelines.
We shouldn't boss them around either.
Stop it.
I know I'm hurting you two.
I'm really sorry.
I don't want to hurt you,
and I'm truly sorry.
But I...
I can't control my feelings.
That's because even though you act tough, you're too soft inside.
You can put an end to this,
but you're hesitating because you're worried about others.
What's so hard about this?
-Just suck it up and-- -Don't!
You've been fidgeting with your phone for a while now.
Are you waiting for a call?
No.
You're drinking faster than usual too.
Something's up, right?
You're the one with news.
Tell me. How does it feel to be a father?
You just completely changed the subject.
Well, I guess it hasn't sunk in yet.
However,
although I feel pressured, I also feel reassured.
It's like nothing can faze me now,
and I can face just about anything.
Is that what children mean to parents?
If you want to know, go and get married.
Stop talking about it and take action.
You only say that you'll help me as well.
I'm kidding.
Honestly, how was it when you got married?
What do you mean?
-It's just us here. -Come again?
It's not like you and Seo-in were madly in love, right?
It'll just stay between us, so tell me.
You know how Jeong-in has been
snippy lately.
I'd like for you to screw my head back on straight.
How strong do I need to be to make it to marriage?
Maybe I should elope with her somewhere.
Why not?
It sounds solid, right?
-Did Jeong-in call? -No.
Shit.
-I'll call you when I know something. -Wait.
I don't care what it is.
I'll wait here, so please call me.
Enter your passcode.
The door is opening.
Either the phone cracks or you crush your hand.
One is bound to happen.
-Jeong-in. -Jeong-in?
You can't just leave like this.
What else is there for me to say?
Your father has every right to be upset about this.
I know, and I never said I did right by him.
-But Dad-- -What about me?
Do you even know how much I'm holding back my anger?
What kind of humiliation is this?
How can I face Mr. Kwon tomorrow?
Was it him who sent the photos?
Isn't it obvious?
What did I tell you before?
How on earth have you been conducting yourself?
Mr. Kwon figured it out as well!
Now, there won't be a chance for you to get back together with Gi-seok.
Good.
-Why you little-- -Honey, please!
Ji-ho's downstairs.
Dad, let's talk this out.
-Dad, no violence. -Get out of my way!
-Jeong-in! -Jeong-in!
-Dad! -Jeong-in!
It's all useless.
In this world, only money counts.
It holds all the power. That's just how it is.
Damn.
What can't money buy?
Money can even buy love and affection.
That's just sad though.
Let me be honest with you then.
Why...
Why do you think I wanted to expand the clinic?
For my patients? No, that's nonsense.
I wanted my wife to be able to
brag about her husband.
Am I being cocky? No.
Truth be told,
it's love.
It's due to my love for her.
Then you should've pushed forward.
Why did you scrap the plan?
You piece of jerk.
It was you who didn't grant me the loan.
When my father inherits me his building,
take an office rent-free.
Wait, is that favoritism?
Fine, I'll only take a million won a month.
Still, we must become a family first.
-You're hilarious. -I'm not joking.
Please tell Seo-in
to persuade Jeong-in for me.
If we end up married,
I'll make it worth your while.
I'm asking you once again.
I sincerely mean it.
You do seem more sincere this time.
Do you know what I'm most grateful for after meeting you?
I'm happy
to have someone I can put before myself.
That...
and courage.
You've always been brave.
I thought so too,
but I've only been pretending to be.
On the other hand,
you're going through an ordeal because of me too.
You said so yourself.
That we shouldn't make excuses
saying we're leaving for the other person's sake.
I guess I dug my own grave again.
I like that you're brave and courageous,
but lean on me just like you're doing now. Literally and emotionally.
I want to be someone who can be there for you.
Then I'll keep on leaning on you. Don't you take it back.
Your father's words must've hurt you today.
I guess I brought that on you.
Don't be too stressed out by it.
No matter what others say,
we share the same fate now,
so it's wrong to be hurt by them.
You're right.
You really are.
See?
Let me hug you.
No, let me hug you instead.
The smaller portions are for Jeong-in.
Don't leave them outside her door
and stock her fridge up.
Aren't you even angry about this?
Why would you want to pack her food?
What did Dad say?
Isn't it obvious?
They're in love, so just let them be.
Don't you ever become a parent.
Do you know why Seo-in suggested you meet Ji-ho?
Of course, I know what she meant.
She said that because he's a decent man.
Soon, Seo-in will be a single mother.
Could you be okay
if others pointed fingers at her?
I just don't know anything anymore.
I sorted out those we need to return.
I'm going over the products that don't sell.
What did you do over the weekend?
Nothing much.
Who are you trying to fool?
What?
What's this about?
You always wash your coat on the weekend,
but it was just left here.
I forgot to take it home.
What's with the interrogation?
That response tells me that something happened.
Nothing happened, I was just with Jeong-in.
Hey.
-Can you move, please? -Only for a cost.
What do you mean?
I'm going to tell your mother.
You're unbelievable.
Yes, Ms. Go.
Ms. Wang, do you have time to talk?
Yes, of course. Go ahead.
Please don't tell Ji-ho that I called.
Well, I'm alone right now.
I see.
There's just something I've been wanting to ask you in person.
I can't believe that people actually do this.
I'm just as fascinated.
Is this how the rich and famous operate?
Anyway, what are you going to do?
Aren't you going to go after Gi-seok?
Could it be his doing?
Isn't it obvious? He still wants you back.
He's too proud
to hire a private investigator.
Then why isn't he giving up on you?
Actually, his pride is probably why he can't let you go.
"If I send this, Jeong-in's father will be outraged,
and she'll come back to me."
That's his scenario.
But then I'll find out that
he was the one who sent the photos.
You're right. It'll make you hate him even more.
If it wasn't Gi-seok,
who could've done such a thing?
Gi-seok's father.
No way.
Even my dad assumed that.
-It's me. -What do you want?
Nothing.
I thought we could grab dinner.
Where should we meet?
Why aren't you speaking?
You said you'd always comply.
Fine. Let's meet.
-Where? -At your father's house.
I need to talk to your father. It's best if you're there,
so be there.
Do you have a moment?
For a meal? Can I order something expensive?
I'd like a word.
We'll talk after Ye-seul leaves.
-Aren't you heading home? -I will.
You should get going. I need to scold Ji-ho.
Did I make a mistake as well today?
I can make something up
if you'd prefer to stay.
See you.
-See you tomorrow. -Bye!
-Did you have to make her worry? -You're worse.
You're making me nervous again.
Jeong-in asked me to marry her.
Hold on. She proposed to you?
Wow, luck just rolled your way, didn't it?
I know.
I don't know what to do now though.
In terms of marriage?
Our parents.
What did she say? That you should push through even without their consent?
That's absurd.
It may be disrespectful, but there's no rule against it.
I know what's going on.
If you try powering through, they'll think you're insolent
and your pride can't allow that.
However, you're worried that Jeong-in will leave you
if you wait until both parents approve.
How's that for a summary?
I want to meet her parents, but I'm worried.
Worst case scenario?
I might be what causes an irreparable rift between them.
Instead of holding back to protect someone,
wouldn't you regret it less if you showed
how far you're willing to go for that someone?
It really won't take long.
Okay, I get it.
I thought you understood.
This is the last time though.
What do you mean?
This is about us.
We'll do it together from now on.
All right. Just this once then.
I knew I met a woman too brazen.
It seems like you're already regretting it.
What if I get dumped soon?
Don't you think about running away.
Why would I
when you told me to lean on you?
I will cling onto you like a leech.
Please do.
I'm not as stressed out as you think.
I can take even more than this.
Me too.
Then why don't we bet on it?
We'll see who's stronger.
I'll probably win.
Now my blood's boiling.
The bet is on. Loser grants the winner a wish.
Can I name my prize first?
You think you've already won.
What is it?
Until we die,
we'll remember each other.
No, don't cross.
I don't think it's a good idea.
I'm very happy that you're not across the street right now.
PHARMACIST
EPISODE 28 WILL AIR SHORTLY
EPISODE 28
Hi, come in and have a seat.
Tell her to make some tea.
There's no need. This will only take a few minutes.
What is it about? I wonder why you couldn't even tell Gi-seok.
He seemed to have no idea.
Have a seat.
You know what it is, right?
There were some things I needed to find out.
And you sent it to my parents.
Am I wrong?
Yes, I did.
I'm sorry about that.
No, I should thank you.
I couldn't bring myself to tell my parents,
but this made me feel relieved.
So you're saying it's true.
Yes, it is.
Hey, did you come all the way here to say that?
No.
-I'd like the original files. -Jeong-in.
It was wrong of you to take them, and I'm uncomfortable that you have them.
I'd like all of them.
Here's my business card.
I know it'll be a hassle, but please send them to my work address.
You should thank your father too.
You were hoping my parents would find out soon.
They've found out everything, as you wished.
I sent those photos.
I didn't want to suffer alone.
There has to be a winner,
no matter how messy it gets.
Do you think
this will make me go back to you?
Ji-ho isn't good enough for you.
Why did you date me?
Why?
Because you loved me so much?
Would you have dated me even if it hadn't been for my background?
I didn't really care.
Other women are like that too.
I mean, everyone prefers wealth over poverty.
And I can't say it's not love.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I betrayed you and broke your heart.
I'm sorry for everything.
I'm not asking you to forgive me.
Even if you curse and pester me for the rest of my life,
I'll put up with it. All of it.
What's so great about him?
Why would you do all this just to be with that prick?
I don't need anything else.
There's only one answer.
Just come back to me.
I won't be satisfied with you.
I've gotten greedier.
Jeong-in.
I'm sure you knew,
but I took it without any meaning.
I should've returned it earlier.
If it meant nothing to you,
it's no better than garbage. Right?
I'll say this again.
You'll never be satisfied with Ji-ho.
I should go.
I'm sorry I put you in that position,
but you're partially responsible for this.
And as for Jeong-in...
She's just too compassionate and tenderhearted.
She's doing this out of pity.
I warned her a few times,
but she kept acting like a child,
so I did it thinking it might be better for her parents to know.
I'm sorry.
Father.
Don't turn out like me.
I'm so happy you're just across the street from me
right now.
Again, don't cross.
I'll go to you.
-Could you help me find this book? -Sure. Just a moment, please.
-Hello. -Hello, it's been a while.
-Jeong-in is inside. -It's okay.
I just stopped by because I was in the area. Have a nice day.
You too. Bye.
Jeong-in, I just saw your mom.
I guess she had her class today.
-She was peeking in from outside. -Peeking at what?
I'm not sure. But the look on her face was a little...
How should I put this?
Shall I say she looked a little sad?
Yes, a little bit.
She left.
I was going to come in and get you, but she told me not to bother.
Okay. Thanks for letting me know.
No problem.
MOM, I'M SORRY
I'M REALLY SORRY AGAIN
I'M SO SORRY
I know that Jae-in is staying with you,
but we should still apply for a temporary restraining order first.
If it's issued, he won't be able to call or even text you.
There are people who choose not to comply and threaten the applicant,
so I can't say that it's completely safe--
That won't be necessary.
I can handle Si-hoon by myself.
The law is there to help us.
You said he'd end up behind bars for a couple of years at the most.
Regardless of how it's done, he should pay for what he did.
I'll get on it right away.
No, it's okay.
Thanks for this consultation.
I'll figure out what to do.
JAYURO LAW FIRM
Now, tell me.
You said you'll figure out what to do.
Don't tell me you'll forgive him.
Of course not.
Like you said, taking legal action isn't enough.
You're not thinking of doing something crazy, are you?
Let me do it in your place.
You're pregnant.
That is why I have to do it myself. Because I'm a mom.
Don't be like this. You're scaring me here.
Jeez, this startled me.
-Hi. -Where is the pharmacy?
Mom, what is this about?
Don't tell Jeong-in.
Mom, Jeong-in will kill me.
What is it?
Finally. I knew you'd get your hands on it.
Is this the power of love?
Okay! How about we have drinks at my place this evening?
-I'm in, of course. -I can't join you girls.
I'm going to hang out on the third floor.
I'm seriously going to move.
Come down for a minute.
I stopped by to talk to you about something.
I have to get back quickly.
What do you want your father to do after he retires?
My self-esteem has hit rock bottom, so I can do anything.
This is nothing.
Did I date you without knowing you well enough?
Or did I make you become like this?
You can beat yourself up later.
What kind of choice should you make
for the sake of you and me
as well as for both of our families?
Think about that first.
That won't be necessary.
Your father now knows that I left you for another man.
He won't approve of me.
My dad will be too ashamed to work for the foundation.
Don't give such excuses.
Your dad will join the foundation. I'll make it happen.
Are you sure you want to win me back?
I even refused to attend the school where my dad taught.
That's my answer.
I have to get back to work.
Drive safely.
-Here you go. -Have a nice day.
-Thank you. You too. -Have a nice day.
WOORI PHARMACY
Did she leave?
You saw the woman outside, right?
She made eye contact with me a number of times.
Is she here to see Ms. Wang?
Then she would've called her.
By the way, who is Ms. Wang meeting?
One iced Americano, please.
People who don't know the situation
will say that I'm already worrying too much,
but I can't help it as his mother.
I'm sure you understand.
Going through the whole thing with Eun-u has helped Ji-ho become maturer.
I know that, but...
Have you heard anything
from Eun-u's mom by any chance?
No, I haven't.
But is it really necessary to track her down after all these years?
Not knowing her whereabouts would be best for both of them.
But what if she shows up one day and makes unreasonable demands?
Ji-ho finally pulled himself together, and he's seeing someone now.
-I'm just worried. -She's not that kind of person.
How could she be so heartless?
I'm not sure how this will sound, but it's actually a good thing.
She doesn't deserve to be Eun-u's mom anyway.
The one Ji-ho is seeing now is not like her at all.
You can trust her.
Here's your iced Americano.
It seems like Ji-ho completely trusts her as well.
But it's not just about those two.
The problem is what her family will think about Ji-ho.
If Eun-u is a problem,
I want to tell them that I can raise him.
Ji-ho is Eun-u's dad. He should do his duty as his parent.
And if they end up getting married,
it'll become Jeong-in's responsibility as well.
Ji-ho did tell me that she's a trustworthy person.
It sounded like she comes from a good family as well.
What if they treat him disrespectfully?
You see,
I'm obviously worried about Ji-ho,
but Eun-u is... That poor thing didn't even do anything wrong.
He doesn't even know what his mom looks like.
Just thinking about that breaks my heart.
Ji-ho...
He won't suffer any more heartache.
I trust that he won't.
I can't say with 100-percent certainty,
but I think Jeong-in is as mentally strong as Ji-ho is.
And most importantly, the two of them are so similar.
They even act the same way.
-You think so? -Yes.
I guess they're meant to be.
Yes, exactly.
Excuse me.
Are you Yu Ji-ho's...
Yes.
Are you...
Yes.
I'm Jeong-in's mom.
All right, I'll leave now.
Okay.
Was that your mom?
Yes, she wants me to come over.
What's up with the sigh?
I know exactly what she's going to say.
Jeong-in is probably on her way now.
I saw your mom earlier today.
I told her that you two will get through it together.
And?
She's just worried overall.
She asked me about Yu-mi.
It just shows how much she likes Jeong-in. She wants you two to stay together.
When you're very happy and excited about something,
you get anxious for no reason, you know.
You wonder, "What if things go wrong?"
And moms always worry about everything.
I don't know about others,
but try to understand why she's worried.
It's been six years, for God's sake.
Until when will she worry?
Whenever she does this,
all the painful things I tried so hard to forget come rushing back.
I know I don't say it, but I'm worried too.
I'm even terrified at times.
I'm scared she'll show up and demand Eun-u back.
Yu-mi's married.
I happened to hear about her recently at a gathering.
Apparently, she even has a kid.
Ji-ho.
I know, Hye-jeong.
I never resented her, and I still don't.
After all,
she gave birth to Eun-u.
Hating her will be like hurting Eun-u, so I won't do that.
I won't hate her.
You impress me, Ji-ho.
Let me wipe your face.
All done. Go on in.
He's busy today. He said he'll come by tomorrow.
Did you tell him you met her mom?
I didn't want to worry him, so I said nothing about that.
I wonder if something has come up.
Her mom probably told her already,
so he might have heard something.
Then he would've come over to ask you what happened.
That's true.
Did we buy too little? Maybe we should've bought more.
-You'll join us, right? -I'll have to see.
Gosh, do you miss him that much?
-Call him and tell him to hurry home. -He's at his parents' place.
Their son has a date, so I'm sure they'll let him leave.
Talking about him is making me miss him more. I'll head in first.
Hey.
What? Is she running in to go see his empty place?
She's totally crazy about him.
It's okay.
I'm okay, Hye-jeong.
Yes, you should be.
Hey, stop it.
You see,
my heart is ripped to pieces whenever I think about Eun-u.
It hurts so much.
It really drives me crazy.
Hey.
-You drank a lot. I'm sorry. -Hi, Yeong-jae.
Hey, Yeong-jae.
Hey, Ji-ho. I'll take you home.
No, wait. Hold on a moment, Yeong-jae.
-What is it? Why? -Hang on.
-Let's go home. -Wait!
-I have to-- -What's the matter?
-I have to go see Eun-u. -You can go tomorrow.
-Come on. Let's go. -No, I have to go see Eun-u.
-It's okay. Let's go. -What?
Just keep walking. You can see him tomorrow.
I'll take care of the rest. You should call a taxi.
I'll call one when I'm outside.
Jeong-in, what about you? Are you going to Ji-ho's place?
Hold on.
He hasn't read my messages yet.
Are you already getting dumped or what?
What was that sound?
-Could that be Ji-ho? -What? You think so?
-I'll be right back. -Hey, is it him?
Jeong-in!
Is Ji-ho all right?
He's quite drunk.
Ji-ho.
Why did you drink so much?
Did something happen?
Jeong-in.
Are you going to...
leave us too?
That was so unnecessary. Why did you tell her that?
Why did you show it if you wanted to hide it?
You went nuts.
What if he's still hung up on her?
I think I only saw what was right in front of me.
Are you going to put the blame on Ji-ho and run away?
I thought our love was all that mattered.
I cluelessly thought I should be able to understand everything...
No, I didn't even think.
I just assumed everything would work out.
I think I need some time to reflect on myself.
Can you really accept me back?
I betrayed you once. Do you think you can still get back together with me?
What if I betray you again?
Be there for your buddy. He already had it tough to begin with.
Do you think you can
get back together with Jeong-in if I give up?
I never said I would.
You know me. My goal is taking you down.
