(Episode 122)
(The probability of paternity is 99.99 percent.)
What is this?
I knew you'd be shocked,
but I thought I should still show you.
I did suspect this,
but I can't believe Min Hyuk is Park Sang Tae's biological son.
I couldn't believe it either.
But how did you find this?
I found a DNA test report by chance...
inside the trash can when I went to the chairman's office.
And it was for Han Min Hyuk and Chairman Han Tae Seok.
It said that they're not biologically related.
"If Chairman Han Tae Seok is not Han Min Hyuk's father,"
"then who is his biological father?"
I had an inkling, so I ordered a test for him and Park Sang Tae.
How could this happen?
So Min Hyuk knows that Dad isn't his biological father?
Yes.
But he doesn't seem to know that Park Sang Tae is his father.
Now, it's all making sense.
Everything Park Sang Tae has done for him.
Ms. Jang and Park Sang Tae...
have been lying to your father all along that Han Min Hyuk...
is his son.
How could they do such a thing to my dad?
Ho Jin.
If people at the company find out, it'll cause an uproar.
My dad is still unconscious anyway,
so keep it to yourself for the time being.
Okay, I will.
- What's the matter? - Spare me a moment.
What on earth was that about?
You're Min Hyuk's biological father?
You stayed by my father's side all these years...
while hiding such a crazy secret?
Sir.
You've kept this horrendous secret to yourself all these years?
What is your goal?
Making Min Hyuk the owner of Noyu Group?
Is that why you've been all quiet all these years?
No.
I just wanted to stay by his side.
This solves all the mysteries.
All the things you've done for Min Hyuk.
It wasn't just out of loyalty.
- You wanted to be his dad? - Sir.
Min Hyuk doesn't know anything.
Please don't say anything to him.
I'm impressed by your love for your son.
Look at you worrying about him first even in this situation.
Sir, please.
Sir.
Sir. Wait, sir.
Where did he go?
By the way, what's that black box for?
It's nothing.
(Executive Director Park Sang Tae)
Look at all these pills. What are they for?
They're just vitamins.
What happened to your face? Did something happen?
Well...
Come in.
Jae Hyuk.
Jae Hyuk, what happened was...
What on earth did you and Park Sang Tae do to my father?
You were never a mother to me,
but I thought you were at least a faithful wife to Dad.
And you had to crush even that belief like this?
How could you do this?
How could you deceive Dad all these years...
and not even look guilty at all?
I'm sorry.
I have...
no excuse to give.
How dare you fool my father like this?
- Aren't you afraid of karma? - It's not like that.
I dated Director Park before I met your father.
At the beginning, I had no idea either.
When I found out that I was pregnant,
I just assumed Min Hyuk was your father's child.
Then when I found out later on,
I couldn't bring myself to tell him.
No, you never intended to tell him from the get-go.
You'd better prepare yourself mentally.
This ugly truth is...
the first thing Dad will hear about when he wakes up.
No, Jae Hyuk.
Please. Don't tell him.
Min Hyuk doesn't know yet either.
If those two find out,
they'll be so shocked and hurt.
Why do something like this if you were going to be this worried?
Jae Hyuk, please...
I... I beg you.
Please just keep it to yourself, okay?
Please, Jae Hyuk.
Jae Hyuk!
Grandma, what are you going to do with all this mugwort?
- I'll make rice cakes. - Rice cakes?
Then let's take some to Uncle Min Hyuk too.
He likes rice cakes. He's a rice cake maniac.
What? Uncle Min Hyuk? That jerk?
Uncle Min Hyuk is not a jerk.
Do you like him?
Yes, he's nice to me.
He mixed my jjajangmyeon for me and even cooked for me.
Really?
I guess that jerk was nice to Ha Eun at least.
Director Park really liked mugwort rice cake too.
What on earth am I thinking?
Gosh, I must be losing my mind.
What? How did Jae Hyuk find out?
How would I know?
I almost fainted earlier.
What do we do now?
What should we do?
What if Min Hyuk finds out? My gosh.
Exactly. He was just appointed chairman.
We absolutely cannot let him fall apart again.
I begged him to keep it to himself,
but would Jae Hyuk listen to me?
Dad.
I found out that Director Park is Min Hyuk's biological father.
Dad, I really don't know what to do.
What is the right thing to do?
About Han Min Hyuk and Director Park...
You knew too, didn't you?
- What are you talking about? - Did you...
threaten Ms. Jang with this to marry Han Min Hyuk?
I always wondered why she decided to accept you into the family.
Do you really want to be such a lowlife?
Shut your mouth. You're talking complete nonsense.
I can guess exactly what happened. I know you well enough.
What are you going to do now?
You did everything you could to hold onto that rope,
but it was a rotten rope.
You don't even have a rotten rope to hold onto.
You'd better keep it to yourself.
And don't egg Jae Hyuk on.
Do you think it's something that can be buried?
You'd better brace yourself.
What are you scheming this time?
Hwa Ran and Director Park...
schemed together to make Min Hyuk the chairman of the company.
What are you after this time?
You got the wrong idea.
If Min Hyuk is going bonkers,
at least you should keep it together.
Persuade Min Hyuk to step down of his own accord.
Before he gets dragged down, that is.
You're Min Hyuk's aunt. How could you treat him like this?
- You guys are a family. - Only when he needs us?
Min Hyuk made his father collapse and got his brother ousted...
because we're his family?
Father's collapse has nothing to do with Min Hyuk.
And he had no choice...
but to accept the chairman position for the sake of the company.
You always have something to say.
You just wait.
I'll get all of you kicked out of the company.
- Mom! - Ha Eun!
My gosh.
Mom, I missed you so much.
I missed you so much too, Ha Eun.
My goodness, what a tear-jerking reunion.
- Am I invisible to you? - Hi, Mom.
You've grown in a little while that I didn't see you, Ha Eun.
You've gotten even prettier.
You've grown too, Mom.
And you've gotten prettier too.
I'll fix dinner quickly. Have some rice cake.
It's mugwort rice cake.
- Did you make this? - Yes.
Ha Eun likes it.
You should take some home for Jae Hyuk.
Okay, I will.
Mom, I heard Grandpa is ill.
Yes.
I miss Grandpa, Mom.
She's been going on about how much she misses her grandpa.
Then shall we go see him together?
Really?
Have a good evening.
- Grandpa. - Sir.
You were always so full of energy. What happened to you?
Please recover soon for the kids.
Grandpa, please get well soon.
But thankfully, he doesn't look as pale now.
Yes, that's good.
Grandpa. It's me, Ha Eun.
Please wake up and play harmonica for me soon.
And let's play cat's cradle too, Grandpa.
Father.
Mother.
- Were you at the hospital? - Yes.
What's that?
My mom made some rice cakes.
I guess she's not worried at all.
How could we enjoy rice cakes...
knowing your father-in-law is in a coma?
My mom is worried too. She was at the hospital with me.
By the way, where is Jae Hyuk?
How would I know?
Let me pour you a drink.
Are you all right?
Something I had never even imagined happened to me.
The more I think about it, the more baffled I am.
Right, I'm sure.
Now, I know...
why Park Sang Tae did so much for Min Hyuk.
And why he's been unconditionally loyal to Min Hyuk.
He obviously wanted to take the fall...
for Eun Hye's accident to protect his son.
Park Sang Tae.
How could he do this?
He lived in silence right by Dad's side for over 30 years...
while protecting Min Hyuk every step of the way.
Although he can't even tell Min Hyuk that he's his father.
He sure loves his son very much.
I don't know...
how I should bring this up to my dad when he wakes up.
I feel so bad for him.
It'll be a huge shock to him.
He'll probably feel as though he's had his entire life stolen.
Is that what all fathers do for their children?
I don't remember anything about my father.
He passed away right after I was born.
Park Sang Tae...
loves his son without expecting anything in return.
Are all fathers like that?
I picked mugwort myself and made these rice cakes.
- This taste... - It's nothing special.
But if you keep eating it, you'll get addicted to it.
What are you eating?
Would you like to taste one?
You like rice cakes too.
It's good.
Sir, try to stay away from alcohol.
Drinking every day isn't good for you.
Then pour me one too, please.
You've achieved your longtime wish of making Noyu your company.
Why are you drinking again?
Keeping a position is harder than getting it.
I need to get rid of those people who I'm so sick and tired of...
to make the company solely mine.
They're all out to get me.
How can I be at ease knowing that?
- Have one more. - Sure.
Maybe it's because you poured this drink for me.
It tastes so good.
You taught me how to drink, you know.
Come to think of it, you taught me many things.
How to drink, drive, and catch fish.
Dad had no interest in me.
And when my mom was too busy to look after me,
you always took care of me.
Sir.
I guess you were always so sweet to me...
because of your late son.
What kind of son was he?
He was smart and handsome.
Even just seeing him made me so happy.
He was...
that kind of son.
I see.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
It's okay.
Min Hyuk.
Why are you looking at me like that? You're annoying me.
Hey.
Are you not going to visit Dad?
I'm quite busy these days.
You know how hectic it's been at work...
since Dad collapsed.
You should visit Dad.
What's the point? He's unconscious.
Min Hyuk, do you know this?
Dad was always worried about you.
Even though he scolded you when he was with you,
he always told me to take care of you.
So...
if you resent Dad, or if you're holding a grudge, just let it go.
If you're drunk, just go to bed.
And they've been deceiving everyone all this time?
How could Mother do such a thing?
Now...
Now, it all makes sense.
I now understand why Director Park did the things that he did.
My gosh. They sicken me.
Min Hyuk is treating me like a stranger.
And I don't even know how I'm going to face Dad.
Jae Hyuk.
The world that I knew has completely collapsed.
I'm so confused.
Of course, I understand.
Even I am in utter disbelief.
I told Ho Jin to keep it to himself for the time being,
but I don't know how much longer we can keep it a secret.
When we hung out with your friends and their wives,
Hyun Ah and I exchanged numbers.
She said we should buy them dinner now that you're the chairman.
She suggested we all hang out again.
I won't hang out with those people anymore.
If we want to fake a happy marriage, we need to do it properly.
I need to build connections...
to be able to give you the support you need.
Don't you know that keeping the position is more important?
Are you lecturing me now?
Anyway, don't meddle in these things.
Do only what you need to do as the chairman's wife.
- Uncle Ho Jin. - Yes, Ha Eun.
My sweet pumpkin.
Gosh, you reek of alcohol. Did you drink?
Yes, a little. You don't like me anymore because of that?
I still like you, of course.
Uncle Ho Jin, read me this book.
Shall I?
All right, lie down.
"In the kingdom..."
"lived a busy king."
Would Director Park...
have felt this way while watching Han Min Hyuk grow up?
Ms. Kim, ask Marketing...
for the sales report for the first half of the year.
Sir, I'm sorry,
but I heard the chairman will now approve everything himself.
What?
All right.
Han Min Hyuk.
Are you trying to exclude me from everything that's going on at work?
Are you not going to visit your dad?
- Why should I? - What do you mean?
He is still your dad.
He raised you.
Forget it. That doesn't mean he deserves to be called my dad.
I told you that I no longer have a dad.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
Min Hyuk.
Don't look at me like that. I find it extremely off-putting.
The fact that Dad isn't my real dad doesn't change anything.
I won't give up this position.
Is that why you got Dad ousted and took that position?
Min Hyuk, you shouldn't do this. He's still your father.
- He truly loves you. - Shut your mouth.
Then why did he always favor you?
You were always his only child.
You're mistaken.
He paid more attention to me...
because he felt bad that I grew up without a mom.
Mother's heart aches when she thinks about you.
That's how Dad feels about me.
Enough!
Don't give me advice like that anymore.
We don't share a drop of blood, so I don't need to listen to you.
Min Hyuk, do you have to talk like that?
We've lived as brothers our whole lives!
That's not important.
I consider you a stranger now. A complete stranger.
So don't act like you're my brother and get all sentimental.
It disgusts me.
Do you know anything about your birth father?
I don't want to know. He's already dead anyway.
Min Hyuk, you shouldn't do this. He's still your father.
He truly loves you.
I'm keeping it to myself because of Jae Hyuk,
but whenever I think about what Han Min Hyuk did,
I get so angry and want to tell everyone right away.
Think about how Jae Hyuk must be feeling now.
He thought he was his little brother all his life.
And Father is in a coma now.
Right.
Even I find it so hard to believe.
Jae Hyuk must be having such a hard time.
He grew up believing Han Min Hyuk was his brother,
but he was Park Sang Tae's son.
What are you guys talking about? Who is whose son?
Tell me the truth.
What?
Park Sang Tae is Min Hyuk's biological father?
Yes.
We found out by chance.
Something's got to be wrong. That just makes no sense.
I even ordered a paternity test, so I'm sure of it.
Does anyone else know about this?
Jae Hyuk knows. Ho Jin told him.
What about Min Hyuk?
All he knows is that...
Chairman Han Tae Seok isn't his birth father.
Jae Hyuk doesn't want him to know. Not yet.
This is utterly absurd.
How...
So...
Tae Seok raised Park Sang Tae's son?
Does Yeon Su know about this?
She threatened Ms. Jang with it to marry Han Min Hyuk.
What did you say?
How could you do such a thing?
Min Hyuk isn't actually my nephew?
How could something like this happen?
You kept it from my brother all these years...
and raised him as his son.
How could you do that?
Do you even have a heart?
Yu Jin, it's...
Please don't tell...
Tae Seok and Min Hyuk.
You're afraid of them finding out?
You're afraid of that, yet you did something so crazy?
I'm sorry.
I know that what I did can't be forgiven.
You sly, conniving scumbag.
She found out.
You acted like you were Tae Seok's loyal right-hand man...
just to make your son the owner of the company?
You'd better brace yourselves.
You'll all be doomed once Tae Seok regains his consciousness.
You utterly disgust me.
- I heard you knew all along. - Sorry?
I heard you knew all about Min Hyuk's biological father!
And you threatened Hwa Ran with that secret...
to marry Min Hyuk?
- No, that's not what happened. - Don't lie to my face!
How could you blackmail her using something like that?
You people never cease to amaze me.
I know Min Hyuk has lost his mind too,
but you, Hwa Ran, and Park Sang Tae...
don't even deserve to be called human. You all sicken me!
- Aunt Yu Jin, let me explain. - Shut your mouth!
Birds of the same feather sure flock together.
I will crush you all.
I will destroy you. You got that?
(DNA Parentage Test Report, Han Min Hyuk, Park Sang Tae)
(Test Results)
(The probability of paternity is 99.99 percent.)
Are you satisfied now?
Are you happy now that everyone knows?
Yes, I am.
Why do you have this?
Was telling Han Jae Hyuk not enough for you?
Who else are you going to tell this time?
Give it back.
- What is this? - No.
Don't read it.
(Test Results)
(The probability of paternity is 99.99 percent.)
(Bad Love)
My biological father is dead?
You two were going to deceive me again?
I feel like I'm covered in filth.
I would've rather it be a complete stranger.
How could Director Park be my father?
Shall I let you in on a secret?
The reason Ms. Jang allowed you and Hwang Yeon Su to get married.
That love you talk about!
Whenever you talk about love, it makes me shudder.
You'll abandon me now that I'm no longer useful?
I made you the chairman of the company.
I won't let you walk all over me.
Han Min Hyuk, Park Sang Tae.
You'd better treat me well.
