What are you gonna do?
Gonna listen to me and see your mother, or never see her again?
It's your choice.
Did you look into a job for me?
Just stay home and help Mother.
I gotta stand on my own. I can't live like this forever.
Jung-hee, want me to find a job for you?
Can you?
Of course. It's nothing hard.
Put yourself in her shoes, Jung-woo.
She worked so hard taking care of Na-ri all this time.
I'll see if anything's open in the Dream dept. store shops.
D-dream? That's where Maeng Seo...
Please get me a job.
I will.
Na-ri, eat more.
When I place my hand on your head, call me 'Mom,' okay?
I will, M... Mom.
What did Na-ri just say?
I'll tie your hair for you. Then I'll take you to kindergarten.
Okay, Mom.
Keep this up and you'll see your mother soon.
Shall we practice again?
Yes, Mom.
That's a good girl.
Na-ri.
Yes, Mom?
That's good. Perfect.
Let's go.
Na-ri.
Don't go, Na-ri. If you do, you'll never see her again.
Na-ri, what's wrong? It's me.
Ga-eun, she has to go to class. She's late.
Na-ri, go inside. You haven't forgotten our promise, have you?
See that? It's called being related by blood.
After all the time you two spent apart, you thought she'd still miss you?
Kids forget easily and adapt well.
And you're the one who left her.
Kim Mi-ran! Don't shoot your mouth off.
- I'm the one who left her? - That's right.
You left her the moment you divorced her father.
How dare you.
You're the one who pulled tricks to force my divorce.
Yet you accuse me of leaving her?
Have you no fear for God?
You can deny it but from her point-of-view, you left her.
If you understand that, then stop coming to see her.
Kim Mi-ran -
You can try to beat me by earning Jung-woo's pity.
But you're still far from beating me.
Still as immature as ever.
I'm worried how Na-ri will grow up under a mother like you.
You know that you don't deserve to be a mother, don't you?
What did you say?
Please, just TRY to be a good mother.
And make sure she never catches you ordering your henchmen to do evil deeds.
Na-ri.
Wow, this is really good.
Hey.
Isn't it good? Want another bite?
Yeah.
Ga-eun, come have dinner.
I'm not hungry.
Mom, I get Na-ri this Sunday. Can I bring her home?
What?
I can take her out, but I'd rather spend time with her here.
I wrack my brain but I just can't figure you out.
Mom.
Same goes for me, Sis.
You know whose kid she is. She's Mi-ran's.
Why would you bring her here?
You can hate her overnight just because she's Mi-ran's daughter?
Your heart fully comprehends that she's Mi-ran's child?
Na-ri is just Na-ri.
A flower can't become a stone overnight.
Why can't you understand? Why doesn't anyone get me?
We're saying this for your sake.
How could you still miss her and want to hold her?
I'd be so disgusted. She's your enemy's kid.
Watch what you say. What do you mean, enemy's kid?
Na-ri's the precious daughter I raised.
Like hell she's your daughter.
You're not related by blood.
Mom!
I don't even want to look in that family's direction.
Why should you care about their child?
Think Na-ri will ever understand?
You're right, Mom. I might mean nothing to Na-ri.
I'm someone she can forget and ignore.
But Mom, it's not like that for me.
What mother can forget her child? What child means nothing to a mother?
I tried to forget her and not see her like you wanted.
But my heart is ripped to shreds in my yearning for her.
I feel like I'm dying inside.
Ga-eun.
Mom, what do I do? How can I forget her?
I want to forget her, I really do.
Mom.
You poor thing. Poor, poor thing.
Director Ha.
Ga-eun, give me your hand.
Come on.
What is this?
Take a look.
The Ha Jae-bum coupon book.
'Eat lunch together.' 'Be your drinking buddy.'
'Take a walk together.' 'Chauffeur for a day.'
There's a lot more.
You can call me anytime you need me.
These coupons can be reissued so don't skimp on them, okay?
Cheer up.
Thank you.
I really needed someone to comfort me today.
All this time has passed, and I have nothing left.
I have nowhere to go.
My world just fell apart.
And I felt like I was all alone.
You're not alone. Don't ever think that.
You'll never be alone.
Thank you, Jae-bum, for being by my side today.
Don't cry.
Cancel the store I bought in Yoo Ga-eun's name.
Right now!
You pretended like I was the only person you could depend on.
So when did you get so close with Ha Jae-bum?
Hi, honey. Why'd you call?
When's Ga-eun's day with Na-ri?
This Sunday.
Don't let them meet.
What?
Na-ri's finally getting used to you and calls you Mom.
If she meets Ga-eun, she'll just get confused again.
So don't let her meet with Ga-eun, okay?
If that's what you want, I'll do that.
Alright. Honey!
I love you. Bye.
Step in for a sec.
Go deposit this back in my bank.
- Yes, sir. - And...
What happened to Ha Jae-bum digging up dirt on me?
Think he found out anything?
He's trying to find out who Paulo Luca is.
I hear he's been contacting Italy.
Is that so? Paulo Luca.
That's all I found on this Paulo Luca.
He's an Italian private investor and the largest shareholder of Star Fashion.
Okay. I'll report to you if I find anything else.
By the way, are you playing the piano tonight?
No, just wondering.
Okay, talk to you later.
I brought my resume. It wasn't an empty promise, was it?
Of course not. I never make empty promises.
Thank you for the help.
You're welcome. Don't worry and be patient.
Then I'll get going. Na-ri will be back soon.
Jung-hee, tell me if you need any clothes.
I can always just give you the stuff I design.
I'll accept them when I get a job. Goodbye.
Bye.
She calls this a resume?
No skills and her only experience is being a housewife?
Hello.
Ah, hello.
Don't you remember me?
Who...?
We met at the showcase.
Your memory's not very good, is it? I recognized you immediately.
What?
Anyway, I think I might end up working in this dept. store.
I look forward to working with you.
What does that have to do with me...?
We'll be seeing each other often.
You want a TV commercial for Dream Star?
Yes, that has the greatest reach, don't you think?
It's also the most expensive.
According to the trend of our sales, I believe it'll worth the cost.
I take it you don't like Director Ha's proposal.
He has enthusiasm, I give him that,
but I think a TV commercial will have a more immediate and direct effect.
Bu we can't ignore the high cost. Let's think about it some thought.
Hi, Ga-eun.
What's going on? Why are there no customers?
A customer rented out the entire café tonight.
Then should I leave...?
He wanted some piano music. So get dressed and play for him.
Yes, ma'am.
Ga-eun, there's a song I want to play for you.
Will you please listen?
? There's no one like her Not in a thousand lifetimes ?
? I want to thank her for lighting up my dark days with her warmth ?
? The pain in my heart is a small price to pay ?
? I can't tell her I love her But it's enough to watch her from afar ?
? I was able to give her everything I was able to love her ?
? I was happy despite the tears ?
I think my heart is broken, thanks to you.
When I meet you, it beats erratically.
I've never felt like this before.
I should have it checked out by a doctor, shouldn't I?
Doesn't your heart do the same?
I'd be so happy if it did. We can go to the hospital together.
I want to make you smile, even when life is hard.
You're a special person to me and I wish I am the same to you.
I'm sorry. I...
It's okay, don't say anymore.
I didn't say all that to hear a reply.
I don't want to complicate your life anymore than it already is.
I just want to stay by your side.
I'll always lend you my support and be on your side.
Jae-bum.
Sir, your third ex-wife is on the line.
Why is she calling again?
What is it?
Have you given it some thought?
What thought?
Playing dumb again. What else?
About making Seo-jin your heir.
I told you I'll take care of that. You called so early about this?
Worry about your own life before you worry about Seo-jin's future.
I'm going to harass you until you settle this, so hurry up.
Geez, that woman!
What is it? Is Mother causing trouble again?
In a way, I guess.
She's afraid you'll lose your place in my house.
Lose my place? What do you mean?
From the start, I intended to leave everything to the most deserving person.
And we won't find out who that is until we've crossed the finish line.
Your heir should be Seo-jin, no doubt about it.
He's capable and he deserves it.
As of now, he's got nothing on you other than being my son.
I don't want your empire simply because I'm your son.
Are you saying you're gonna compete with Jae-bum?
If I need to, yes.
I won't back down just because I'm up against Jae-bum.
Ga-eun, it's me. Are you free later?
No, today's the day I get to spend with Na-ri.
Is it something urgent?
No, it's not like that.
It's fine, don't worry about it.
Bye.
There's my baby. Dressed up all precious, ain't you?
Let me have a look.
Grandma, do I look pretty?
Yes, very pretty.
My cute puppy.
You're all happy to see your mommy, aren't you?
Grandma, the lady -
I mean, Mom says I can spend the night with Mommy.
Both are your mother, eh?
Alright. Listen to your mommy and have fun, okay?
Okay.
Na-ri, have a good time.
I'll go drop her off.
A birthmother and a mother who raised her.
Why's my Na-ri's life so twisted up?
You really don't know or are you just pretending?
This is all Bro's fault.
When a teenage Na-ri starts asking questions,
you two will have no excuse.
You little brat!
Mister Cho, I treat you so well. Don't cheat on me, okay?
I'm not a bum, you jerk.
Don't look down on me. My son-in-law is the president of Star Fashion.
So what am I doing now...?
Hold still, will you? They're falling off.
Is my son-in-law gonna give me a store to manage?
For sure he is.
Said he'd open a place for me as soon as I picked a spot.
What? You'll invest?
Geez, Mister Cho!
Uh huh, alright.
Look, I can find out for you, okay?
What are friends for, right?
Alright. I'll call you. Bye.
It was so hard putting them on. Why'd you get up when they aren't dry?
Baby, that's not important.
I just thought of the perfect business.
Business?
You and I are mother- and father-in-law to the Star Fashion president.
But we can't live off a measly allowance forever.
Geez, what are you thinking of now?
Let's ask Mi-ran for a store and make a legit living.
A store? You want to run a Dream Star store, is that it?
Bingo!
Then we ask for a few more and sign on eager investors.
What do you think?
So you want to open up a chain of Dream Star stores.
Wow, your noodle's really spinning after all these years of experience.
Goodness, why didn't I think of this before?
You really know how to use your noodle.
That's my smart baby.
What devotion. Who cares about someone else's child?
You look like you're meeting with a long-lost lover.
Mom.
That must be them.
Whatever! ee her if you want.
I don't want to see her so I'm staying in my room.
Mom, don't say such things in front of Na-ri, okay?
Is that you, Na-ri?
Na-ri!
Jae-bum...
What? Jae-bum's here?
Hello, Mother.
Hi, Ga-eun. Where's Na-ri?
When's Mommy coming?
I don't know.
She said she'd come, but she hasn't called yet.
I miss Mommy.
I know.
If she missed you, too, she'd be here already.
Why isn't she coming?
Can't you take me to Mommy's house?
What?
I know where she lives. Take me there.
Na-ri, she's not at her house right now.
Why not?
She's very, very busy.
She's taking time out of her busy schedule to come see you.
So let's wait just a bit longer, okay?
Good, Na-ri. That's a good girl.
What is it?
Where's Na-ri?
Na-ri?
She's with me. Why?
What? You were supposed to bring her to my house this morning.
- Did you forget? - Oh, right.
I was going to, but she wanted to come to the amusement park instead.
So you're at an amusement park with Na-ri right now?
I can't help it if she likes this place better than your house.
I told her you were waiting, but she wasn't interested.
What?
Mi-ran, what trick are you pulling now?
Na-ri wouldn't do that.
You never intended to bring her here, did you?
Put Na-ri on the phone.
Are you going to argue with a child? Act like the grown-up you are.
Besides, she conked out after running around all day.
Let's pick another day.
Kim Mi-ran! Mi-ran!
What is it, Ga-eun? Na-ri can't make it?
Isn't it obvious? They refuse to let Na-ri come.
Ga-eun.
