I've waited so long for my moment.
I was patient and waited for Sa-rang's birth.
Yet you stand in my way again?
I won't let you.
Yoo Ga-eun, I won't let you get away with this.
I'm thrilled.
I can hardly sleep because I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not.
And so my mom's dream comes true. Congratulations, Ga-eun.
Thank you, Jung-hee.
Did you look into where Kim Mi-ran is in America?
I did, but I can't find her anywhere.
She cut off all contact so it won't be easy.
Yeah?
- Shall I keep looking? - No, it's fine.
Her cutting off all contact is good news.
Oh, and here's information on Yoo Sung-eun.
These are the records of President Yoo and your wife's efforts to find him.
It happened so long ago, there isn't much information.
That, too, is good news.
Her brother's existence is no good for me.
But I did find out something strange.
Something strange?
There's a third party looking for Yoo Sung-eun.
There's someone else? What are you talking about?
I don't know who it is yet, but they've been looking for a long time.
Keep looking for Sung-eun and find out who the third party is.
Yes, Director Park.
Who else could be looking for Sung-eun?
Serves you right.
You ignored my advice and now you're left hanging.
Told you so.
I knew this would happen when I told you to give up the baby.
Are you that happy that I'm screwed?
I'm so thrilled I could do a river dance.
- Told you so. - Stop it already.
This is what you get for lying to me all this time.
I said, stop it! Stop!
I don't need you to add fuel to the fire right now.
What now?
Your due date's almost here but suddenly Ga-eun's also pregnant.
What are you gonna do?
You're stuck being a single mother.
Why am I stuck being a single mother?
Then what other option is there? You're gonna raise the baby alone?
Or are you gonna be his mistress forever?
What are you gonna do?
It isn't over.
He'll end up with me. Don't you worry.
I can't believe this. This is so frustrating.
Who knew I'd end up with a daughter with a baby born out of wedlock?
Forget benefiting from my daughter. Looks like I'll be raising the brat.
'I've waited far too long for this.'
'Ga-eun, you're pregnant?'
'I won't let you.'
'I'll get back my rightful place.'
Our baby really is a bundle of joy.
Your mother and my parents are so thrilled.
What about me? I'm the happiest that you're pregnant.
Hey, don't take another step.
What?
Ga-eun, you heard the doctor.
You need to walk softly and try not to move too much.
Here, get on my back. Come on, then.
I'm real heavy. I'm really getting on.
Just get on already.
Up we go.
Can't you try to understand me?
Give up the baby and go to America.
No, I'd rather die.
I won't do it.
Over my dead body!
Let go!
I'm gonna have this baby. I won't let it end like this.
Think about it carefully. Your mother's your only family.
Imagine the life of regret after sending her to prison.
We'll have a child together when we can be together.
Park Jung-woo...
Hey, don't take another step.
Ga-eun, you heard the doctor.
You need to walk softly and try not to move too much.
Here, get on my back.
C'mon.
You couldn't wait to get rid of my baby...
but you treat Ga-eun's like a treasure?
This is so unfair. Pay back the principal in full?
I told you I'll pay the overdue interest next week.
No, I'm not yelling, sir...
Sir, I'll have some money next week.
It's true! Trust me just once more.
Hello? Hello? Mr. Kim!
Hello!
This is bad.
What did he say?
What do you think?
We have 3 days or else he'll do as the contract says.
What do we do?
Baby, can't you do something?
Frankly speaking, we both used the private loan.
I told you to get a job instead of bumming around.
You're all talk, I swear.
Baby, how about asking Mi-ran for help?
She cashed in big when she pretended to leave.
That's true. But we can't ask for that money.
She'll need money to raise the baby alone.
Not all of it.
We'll pay her back after this is taken care of.
I wouldn't know where to begin to ask her.
A gift for you.
A gift?
Use it to take care of Ga-eun. Buy her the stuff she wants to eat.
Thank you.
And you're being promoted to executive director.
Excuse me?
The directors all agree you're very capable.
You'll have to work harder now.
Yes, sir.
Dad, is it true Jung-woo's been promoted?
Yes. A congratulatory gift for your pregnancy.
Ga-eun's the one who's pregnant, not Jung-woo.
Same difference.
You know I wouldn't promote him if he didn't deserve it.
Thank you, Dad.
You didn't see the baby yet, did you?
Let me see.
Isn't it beautiful?
It is. It's so round and pretty.
Look, dear.
What's not pretty to you when it comes to Ga-eun?
I heard you have to be careful since your body's so weak.
Why not stay here with us?
Then Mother will be alone.
She needs to be careful?
The doctor said her uterus is so weak,
she needs to walk softly and not do any household chores.
I'm fine, Mom. There's nothing wrong with me.
Don't be stubborn. Gotta be careful with the first child.
You can't be surprised or shocked, you hear?
I have nothing to be shocked about.
I'LL BE A MOTHER SOON!
Ga-eun, you won't be able to become a mother.
I won't let you.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Congratulations, Executive Director, sir.
It's all thanks to you.
But you realize this is just the beginning, right?
Of course.
We need to be more careful the higher we climb.
Do we fully understand the financial structure yet?
The research is almost complete.
Be very covert. No one must notice.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
This is our first chip at the ice.
They trust me more than ever with Ga-eun's pregnancy.
Now we just have to execute our plan flawlessly.
What's this?
Money for living expenses.
Why, all of a sudden?
I need a lot of bare essentials for the baby.
I can't move around much so you go shopping for me.
I should've known.
Of course you wouldn't just give money to me.
So you want me to buy things for your baby?
Fine, I was going to go shopping today anyway.
Say, Mi-ran, how much money do you have?
Why?
I need to know to plan for our future and stuff.
Our future?
I'll live my life, and you live yours.
Don't even dream of using my money.
You've got no heart, I swear.
Where's your mom? Did she go somewhere?
Did she happen to talk to you?
- About the private loan? - Huh?
Yeah, it's real terrible.
I'm sure you heard but we're in some serious trouble.
Truth is, we both signed away the rights to our bodies.
Why tell me this?
What?
Well, we need your help.
Any way you can lend us Park Jung-woo's money?
I'll pay you back.
And why should I help you? Remember what you did to me?
So you're just gonna watch us get ruined?
Mi-ran, I may not be your stepfather on paper...
If I help you, what can you do for me?
What do you mean?
I'm not gonna help you for nothing.
I scratch your back, you scratch mine.
Dear child, thank you.
I love you.
I can't, I can't. I won't do it.
Park Jung-woo scares me. I even went to jail 'cause of him.
I need you to help me out.
If he finds out that I helped you...
I'd prefer to tell him about you and blackmail him again.
He'll empty his pockets for this latest development.
And what comes after the money?
What?
Didn't you learn anything from last time?
He'll pay initially, but you might end up in jail for life.
But if you do as I say,
I'll make sure you have extra money for business as well as no debt.
Money for business?
You're not going to live like this forever, are you?
I'll give you the capital to start something new.
Deal?
What do you want me to do? Something dangerous?
It's not a big deal.
Just make sure Ga-eun becomes un-pregnant..
Ga-eun, we went through a lot of trouble for nothing.
What? What do you mean?
The diabetes. It was so hard, eating healthy and such.
But turns out the hospital made a mistake.
What? They made a false diagnosis?
Turns out I don't have diabetes.
I've never felt so cheated.
Apparently I can eat whatever I want, so you don't have to worry.
That's great, Mother.
I think it was an act, insisting on not visiting a hospital.
She didn't want to live apart from us.
I wish she had just told me instead of going through the trouble.
I should've been more perceptive.
I'm really glad she's not diabetic.
Thanks for being so understanding, Ga-eun.
Don't thank me.
I'm so happy. We're having a baby and everyone's lives are good.
I guess our baby really is a bundle of joy.
By the way, I have the perfect nickname.
Really? What is it?
Go ahead and guess.
It should be a strong, sturdy name. Is it Kae-ddong?
Wrong.
Tae-yang?
Wrong.
What is it? Can't be Sa-rang.
What?
Mi-ran called her baby Sa-rang.
Jung-woo, what shall we call our baby for now?
How about Ku-mool?
No, how about Sa-rang, since it was made from love?
Jung-woo, tell me. What's our baby's nickname?
Huh? Right.
We'll call him Dong-dong.
Dong-dong?
Because it's an easy name for the baby to understand?
Alright, then I'll call it Dong-dong, too.
Dong-dong's dad, are you coming home early tonight?
Alright, Jung-woo. See you later.
Dong-dong, your father's coming home early.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm calling so late.
I should've said my congratulations earlier.
I'm not the one who should be congratulated.
All I did was feed her the best food
and treat her like a queen so she wouldn't get stressed.
I see. Well, thank you.
Our helper lady will be stopping by to drop off a tonic for Ga-eun.
Please make sure she takes care of herself.
Will do. I'll watch over her.
Alright, then we'll talk later.
Goodbye.
Of course I'll take care of her. We have the most to lose here.
Where are you going?
I need to go to the orphanage.
Again? You need to be careful.
The headmistress wants to discuss something with me.
On my way back I have to pick something up from my parents'.
Remember, you're not responsible for just yourself.
You're carrying the precious child who will carry on Jung-woo's legacy.
If you're careless and lose the baby, we'll all beruined.
Keep that in mind.
Mother, that's a terrible thing to say.
Don't worry, please.
How can I not? This baby didn't come by easily.
Alright, take special care and go on.
Okay. I'll be back before you know it.
Lady.
Yes, ma'am.
Ga-eun's tonic is ready. Pick it up and drop it off at Ga-eun's.
Yes, ma'am.
And help out with the household chores while you're there.
Her cheap mother-in-law won't spring for a helper.
I'll have to trouble you for now.
Don't worry, ma'am.
- Lady! - Oh!
What a coincidence.
Mr. Cho.
You've gotten prettier, haven't you?
Nothing of the sort.
I almost didn't recognize you.
It's so good to see you. Want to get some coffee?
- Coffee? - C'mon, let's go.
Watch it.
My bad.
How'd it go?
You're a real sharp one.
Ordering a tonic that extravasates the blood worked out perfectly.
Yeah? Good job.
How did you know they'd order a tonic from that clinic?
They've regulars of that clinic.
I know her family inside out.
Pregnant women should never extravasate their blood.
It'll be perfect for Ga-eun.
Geez, must I continue with this crazy business?
I'm freakin' scared.
Like it or not, the arrow has left the bow.
We're now in the same boat. You follow me?
I know, I get it.
Keep this from my mom. And watch both families.
I just came from your house.
You did?
Yup. Your mother wanted me to drop off a tonic for you.
I see. Where did Mom go?
Grocery shopping at the market to buy you good stuff to eat.
- She went herself? - Yup.
She's determined to buy the freshest and the best.
She doesn't need to.
That must be your mother now.
Wow, so pretty. It's so cute and adorable.
Isn't it?
It's a bib and a jacket.
I came for my sewing machine to make Dong-dong a jacket.
Yeah? Then make one. The more the better.
But isn't it too early to start preparing jackets?
By the way, I ran into Ran's mother.
She was buying a bundle of baby things.
Yeah?
Said it was for a friend's late child but she was suspiciously flustered.
Ran's mother has a live-in boyfriend, Mr. Cho.
Think maybe she's got a late child?
Geez, Mom... That makes no sense.
You think?
But she totally looked like she was hiding something.
You should've asked about Ran.
Like her mother would know.
While Ran was studying abroad, she came to us for news.
That's true.
Forget all that and focus on your baby.
Ran will call when she wants to.
I hope she's doing well.
Did your business in New York go well?
Yes, we got a very good deal.
And how's your father's health?
He'll be completely cured when I get married.
So hurry up and get married, kid.
Jae-bum, want me to draw your bath?
No, I have to go to the office.
Get some rest today.
I've been gone too many months. I gotta catch up on my work.
Good boy.
You're acting a bit suspiciously.
- Hpw so? - You're so into your work.
I don't think you're dating at all.
Geez, Uncle...
If I want to be a family man, I gotta have stable work first.
You better not be lying again. Your father will go into shock.
I warned you.
The Dream-Noma Dept. Store that opened last month
has increased sales of 15%.
It's all about the management now. Keep on it.
I will.
Pay special attention to the shops with decreasing sales.
Got it.
Anything noteworthy happen while I was gone?
Remember Cho Kyung-chul, the guy who got back your wallet?
And my memory card, right?
Right. He came by several times. Wants a job or something.
And?
He's a middle school drop-out with a criminal record.
So I just gave him some money.
No, no. He's my savior.
Without that memory card, I would've ruined the presentation.
But we can't hire a guy like that.
Wait, do you have his contact number?
Cheers!
Dude, how'd you make the money?
This is nothing. The real money rolls in when the deal's done.
So just you wait, Kyung-chul.
It won't be long before I'm living in style.
What's the gig? Can I get in?
No. You don't even know what it is and you want it?
I'll tell you if we need more people.
You promised. No take-backs.
Kyung-chul, trust me. Trust me.
A timely interruption. Pick up already.
Hello?
Who? Dream?
Thought you were avoiding me. They kept telling me you were abroad.
I'm sorry.
My business trip lasted longer than expected.
I'm really grateful for what you did.
If I could compensate you...
Forget money. I turned in my résumé, didn't you hear?
The thing is... we're looking into it.
No experience or education and a fancy criminal record, right?
I'm sorry. It might be difficult...
Forget starting anew when no one's willing to help.
So we do what we must to survive and end up back in the pound.
It's the same ol' story for all my orphanage friends.
Not a one of them made it on his own.
Except for the adopted ones, we lead these lives until we die.
Hold on a sec.
We're ready to go.
Smile.
One, two, three!
You closed your eyes.
- I'm sorry. One more time. - You're quite tall.
Smile.
One, two, three.
So this is it? Will this help me?
The company newsletter is circulated among customers and business partners.
A lot of people read it.
And who knows? Maybe your parents will recognize you.
And I put in your story, so someone might feel pity and help you out.
I don't expect that.
Anyway, thanks for the effort.
I'll put the money to good use.
Call me if you're ever in a pinch.
I hope you find your parents, Kyung-chul.
Not with my luck.
I've learned to live with low expectations.
This mix is for extravasating blood. Pregnant women shouldn't drink it.
Ga-eun, I had it specially made for you. Make sure to drink every last drop.
Here, drink up.
- Mother, this is... -The tonic your mother sent over.
Drink it even if it's bitter. It's good for you.
Well? Drink it before it cools.
Go on.
