I didn't want to tell you all this.
I wasn't the one behind this. I thought she died during childbirth.
My mom and Jung-woo came up with this one.
And your mother-in-law played a part as well.
I just found out recently when I came back.
There's no way.
Think I'll believe such a ridiculous lie?
Of course you can't. So I prepared this.
See for yourself.
The results of a DNA test.
I just received it today from the genetics lab.
Check it.
THERE IS A 99.99% CHANCE...
See it?
Park Jung-woo and Park Na-ri are father and child.
Now do you believe me?
This is impossible...
Now do you get why he has no choice but to choose me?
Na-ri is my daughter.
The child born between Jung-woo and me.
No, that's impossible. You're lying.
This can't be.
Believe it even if you don't want to.
I was as shocked as you are when I first found out.
I went through unspeakable pain to give birth to Na-ri.
So I want her back.
No. It's not true.
I don't want to hear my child call me 'lady' anymore.
I want to be able to hold her close and hear her call me 'mother.'
Ga-eun, I know it'll be hard, but give up your place.
You've been living with my child, living the life that belongs to me.
I want to be able to hold my child. So please give her back.
No, no. It's lies, all lies.
I won't... I won't...
I won't believe you.
Call me when you're ready.
No. Tell me it's not true!
Not Na-ri. No!
No, not Na-ri...
Mommy!
My dear Na-ri. Did you have a good day?
One more kiss.
Goodness. Ga-eun!
What happened to her?
Is she really sick? What's wrong?
There are signs of malnutrition as well as being weak in body.
Malnutrition? Goodness...
Mom, are you wearing the clothes that tramp made?
Yeah. What do you think?
Look at all the rhinestones. Like I'm gonna be pouring drinks.
You seriously feel like wearing that?
In the least, shouldn't you be loyal to Ga-eun?
So I should throw out new clothes?
I should wear it out.
Not gonna try on yours?
No. I'm not wearing it.
Don't you feel bad for Ga-eun?
She raised Na-ri so preciously, not knowing she's that tramp's daughter.
That's her fate.
Mom, you're being so insensitive.
Imagine if my husband did this to me. You'd still react the same?
How are you and Ga-eun the same?
Anyway, your brother's determined to live with that tramp.
That's how it is.
What?
Frankly, I don't know what to do.
She's Na-ri's birthmother and your brother's crazy about her.
If I consider only that, I should accept her.
That's ridiculous. Accept who?
No way. What about Ga-eun?
What about Na-ri?
Yeah, I can't decide when I think of Na-ri.
It breaks my heart to think how she'll cry when Ga-eun's gone.
What about Ga-eun?
She'll be divorced and lose the child she raised as her own.
Lose? It won't be losing.
When she finds out the truth, she'll be the one who leaves Na-ri.
So imagine how furious she'll be.
She basically raised her enemy's child.
Whose side are you on? Isn't your brother family?
This is about what your brother did.
I'll never accept that tramp as our family.
He won't care about your consent.
Ugh, it's stuffy. Gotta take off these clothes.
Why hasn't Ga-eun come back yet?
Give her a call.
You know why she's like this, don't you?
I don't know anything.
She doesn't have malnutrition and a weakened body for nothing.
Well, I don't know why she's like this.
I'm so upset.
Sis!
What happened? Why did she faint?
She didn't wake up yet?
Not yet.
Sis. It must've been so painful...
Young-eun...
Hello? Um...
Ga-eun, what's going on? Please wake up.
What did you say? Ga-eun collapsed and is in the hospital?
Ga-eun's in the hospital?
How sick is she for her to be in the hospital?
She has malnutrition.
I'm so upset with you I don't even want to speak with you.
If you knew what Jung-woo was doing,
you should've comforted Ga-eun and fed her well.
Wait, ma'am.
How could you be so indifferent to a member of your family?
I'll go right now. Where are you?
Don't bother coming. She won't want to see you.
She won't see anyone from your family again, you hear?
Goodness. Hello?
Ma'am? Hello?
Goodness, she's still got her fiery temper.
Are you really turning in your resignation?
I am.
Don't worry, I've got you covered.
Jung-woo, what's up with the rumors circulating?
They're real strange.
It's nothing. Rumors are just rumors.
Sir, I'll need you to process this.
What is it?
My letter of resignation.
Resignation?
Jung-woo, why are you resigning?
What? Jung-woo resigned?
Why'd he do that all of a sudden?
Alright. I'm heading over now.
Jung-woo resigned?
Yeah. Turned in a letter saying it was for personal reasons.
You still can't reach Jung-woo?
His phone's been off for a while.
I think I'll have to go to the office.
Go. Don't worry about Ga-eun. I'll be here.
Na-ri.
- Mommy! Mommy! - Na-ri, where are you?
- Na-ri. Where are you? - Mommy, I'm here.
Na-ri!
Na-ri, Na-ri.
Mommy! I'm right here.
Na-ri. Na-ri.
I've got you!
Na-ri!
Na-ri.
Na-ri, Na-ri!
You're finally awake.
Do you recognize me?
Ga-eun, what's wrong?
Ga-eun! Goodness, Ga-eun!
Ga-eun, what's wrong? Why can't you speak?
Nurse!
What's going on, Mom?
Young-eun, get the doctor. She can't talk.
Sis! Sis!
Ga-eun, what is it?
- What is this? What's wrong? - Sis!
Ga-eun, you poor thing.
What's wrong with her?
An emotional shock seems to have struck her dumb.
It's a form of mental disability.
I've requested help from the psychiatric department.
The psychiatric department? She needs psychiatric help?
She won't stay like this forever, will she?
I can't tell you anything for certain right now.
It could be temporary.
But if she doesn't resolve whatever mental block she has,
it could be hard to treat her.
How could this happen? How terrible the shock must've been.
Sis.
What do you think you're doing?
Why is Ga-eun in such a terrible state?
On top of that, your resignation? Without discussing it with me?
I'm sorry, sir.
What is wrong with you? Are you leaving Ga-eun?
Yes, we're getting a divorce.
What?
I've said everything I have to say. Please excuse me.
And I won't go to the hospital. It'll make her worse.
I'll send Na-ri when I have the chance.
Thank you for everything, sir.
Jung-woo!
What is this?
Father.
Right when there are strange rumors floating around.
Don't let it get out that he resigned until the rumors have settled.
I'm not sure it'll stay a secret.
Mi-ran!
Where have you been for the last few days?
We were gonna report you missing if you didn't show up today.
I went to Italy for work.
What? Then you should've told us so we wouldn't worry.
Why'd you worry? Did anything happen?
Something big. Ga-eun's practically dying.
She experienced some shock.
She's in the hospital and has - what's it called?
Aphasia.
Right, so she can't speak. Imagine that.
Sis, how did this happen to you?
Did Jung-woo cause you stress?
Is that why he resigned?
Please talk to me.
Sung-eun, will you be quiet?
'Dad, I'm sorry.'
'I'm sorry for making you see me like this.'
Brush it off and get back on your feet, okay?
Thank you for the invitation.
I hope it's okay I asked you to come here for my convenience.
It's fine. We can talk better here where it's nice and private.
Yes.
The weather's nice outside. Would you rather talk out here or inside?
It doesn't matter to me.
Then let's talk inside.
So you quit Sun and you're going to start your own company?
Is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Since we signed with you...
you want us to work with your new company instead of Sun?
Right. As you know, I hired Julia and she'll continue to work with me.
So wherever you go, she'll follow.
Precisely.
You've heard the rumors so you know it's risky to continue working with Sun.
If I want to work with you, I have to break the contract with Sun.
What of the penalty?
If you give back the investment Sun gave you, I'll take care of the rest.
What will you do if I refuse?
There's no reason you should.
If Julia drops out of the Dream Star project, you'll have a major setback.
As well as major losses.
Those losses will have to be compensated by Sun or by you.
Sir, please. Help me this once.
I will not forget this favor.
HOME FASHION ELEMENTARY LEVEL TEMPORARILY CANCELLED
Yoo Ga-eun isn't feeling well.
Sung-eun, it's Jae-bum.
How's your sister?
Is she still the same?
I see. You must be worried.
Um, Director?
Uh...
It's okay, come in.
I heard from Sung-eun. I just dropped in while passing by.
Thank you for coming. Have a seat, sir.
I'm fine. I have to leave soon.
She just took a sedative and fell asleep.
Is she doing any better?
She won't open her mouth. I don't know what shocked her.
Excuse me, I have to take this.
You want to know what after you did this to my sister?
Why do you want to know where she is? Gonna come with flowers?
Seeing you like this, I can't help thinking I screwed up.
If I had things straight then and told you sooner about those two...
You wouldn't be in so much pain now.
I'm sorry.
I might be the one who changed your life for worse.
Let it go and get back on your feet.
I'm reminded of one of my favorite poems.
'I am still breathing today.'
'I sing though burdened by troubles.'
'I sleep, yet I am conscious.'
From the poet Lee Hae-in's 'Hope Is Alive.'
Sis, Ha Jae-bum was here earlier.
I sincerely hope you realize that hope is still very much alive.
She has aphasia so she can't speak. Imagine that.
I miss Mommy! Grandma, take me to Mommy!
Goodness, child, I told you she's in the hospital.
Now… Mommy...
Goodness. You're just throwing a tantrum.
Stop crying.
Mommy.
Goodness.
Try to eat one spoonful.
What are you trying to do, huh? You're gonna die like this?
You gotta eat to live. Oh, I'm so upset.
Ga-eun.
I told you not to come. How dare you come here!
I brought Na-ri. She misses her mother.
Na-ri, there's your mother.
Mommy.
Then leave her and go.
Let me see Ga-eun's up close before I go.
Hi, Sa-rang. I'm Auntie Ga-eun.
Mommy.
What's wrong?
Mommy.
Ga-eun...
It's Na-ri. Na-ri.
Doesn't you recognize Na-ri?
This is Na-ri, the daughter you adore.
Mommy...
Please leave. She doesn't want to see your family ever again.
Get out! Now!
Mommy.
Are you by yourself?
Why did you stop talking?
Don't do that. It makes things hard for me, too.
Can you really not say a word?
I realize how shocked you are, but overcome it.
That way I can demand my child back.
I can't talk to you when you're sick.
I'll be back.
I want to talk again when you're healthy and ready.
Bye.
Sis!
Sis, calm down! Calm down!
Sis! Sis!
Nurse! Nurse!
'I will make sure you two experience the same pain and scars.'
'That thing called love never existed in the first place.'
'The old Ga-eun is dead.'
I no longer believe in love.
