(Episode 9)
Mom, be careful. My goodness.
What were you thinking?
What was I supposed to do, then? Tell Ho Jin the truth?
Tell him she's our relative's baby. Make something up.
He'll soon find out it's not true.
We can't keep on lying to him.
And after all, he may never regain his lost memories.
You're not even married. How could you say she's yours?
I had no choice.
It's not like we could say she's your child.
We can't raise Min Ah without a mom.
Still, this is crazy.
Mom.
I brought Min Ah back here for a reason.
I brought her back because I'm going to think...
that she's Eun Hye's child and raise her.
What?
I couldn't protect Eun Hye's baby,
but I will protect Min Ah.
I'll protect her no matter what.
Min Hyuk, don't do this.
I heard...
Jae Hyuk's fiancee was pregnant.
She was pregnant with Jae Hyuk's child.
But...
we...
- We... - I did it for your sake.
For my sake?
You did such a crazy thing for my sake?
That's right. I did it for you.
I won't be able to live if anything bad happens to you.
You're the reason I live.
Then what about Jae Hyuk?
You don't care about him at all?
How can he move on with his life after losing her and his baby?
I'm your mother, not Jae Hyuk's.
I'll turn myself in.
I can't go on with my life...
after doing something like that.
Pull yourself together. It's all over now.
It's over?
How could it be over?
I...
You killed Jae Hyuk's fiancee.
How can you say it's over?
Fine.
Go turn yourself in, then.
Do it and put me behind bars.
And you'll live the rest of your life as a murderer.
Go ahead and destroy your dad's company,
which he cherishes with all his life.
Thank you for calling the police. This is Officer Park.
How can we help you?
Hello? Hello?
Go ahead.
If it's for you,
I can even jump into a raging fire.
I'll gladly jump into it.
But I cannot let you suffer.
As you know,
your father...
just misses Jae Hyuk's late mother.
Never once has he been affectionate toward me.
Seeing how...
he favors Jae Hyuk even right in front of me...
broke my heart every single day.
Because I'm from a poor family, and I used to work as a secretary,
your grandmother treated me...
like a thief who was after her money before she passed away.
But I could hold out...
because of you, no one else.
I held out and got through...
that torturous ordeal just to see you become successful.
Can't you think about everything I've been through?
Min Hyuk.
Let's put it all behind.
Let's forget everything, okay? We'll put it all behind.
I beg you like this, Min Hyuk.
Please, Min Hyuk.
Mom.
Forget it no matter what. You have to.
That's the only way you and I can live.
Forget the past, okay?
You'll start afresh. All right?
Min Ah.
From now on,
I'll be your mom.
What's happening with Jae Hyuk?
He's still looking for her family.
What?
Mr. Park, take care of that family.
Pardon me?
Take care of Choi Eun Hye's family.
Make sure Jae Hyuk, or anyone else for that matter,
can never find them.
- Sorry to interrupt. - How can we help you?
We'll begin the seizure of all your tangible movables.
- Get started. - Yes, sir.
- Wait. - Here's your notice of seizure.
What are you doing?
You scumbags. What are you doing in our house?
- Look. - Let go.
- Over there too. - What is going on?
Hello, Detective Ahn.
You'll give me their address?
My gosh, you're back.
Yes, hello.
Did the man who was living here move out?
Yes, this morning.
Right, I totally forgot.
I forgot to give him the letter and your number.
Here, I should just return it to you.
I'm sorry.
(To: My love, 58 Jeongil-ro 3-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul)
Forget it no matter what. You have to.
That's the only way you and I can live.
Forget the past, okay? You'll start afresh.
- Excuse me. - Oh, come on in.
Do you happen to know where the family that used to live here...
has moved to?
How would I know that?
All I know is they moved in a rush...
because their house got auctioned off.
It got auctioned off?
I heard they went bankrupt.
I think I also heard that Noyu Group...
ended up buying the house.
Noyu Group?
This is an announcement.
(A few years later)
Hey, Ha Eun!
You wench. Come here.
I caught you.
Hey, I told you not to play with laundry.
This is...
It'll smell bad if it doesn't dry well.
Mom, how do I look? I look like a model, don't I?
My goodness.
She's being silly again.
What are you doing with my clothes? Take it off at once.
I'm going to be a model.
Mom said she'll make me a ton of beautiful clothes.
Goodness. Yes, I'll make you a ton of beautiful clothes,
so take this off.
I don't want to. Catch me if you can!
That little... Hey, Ha Eun! Get back here.
Oh, dear.
(Choi Ho Jin, Prosecutor, Ulsan Prosecutor's Office)
Choi Ho Jin.
You actually managed to become a prosecutor.
(Prosecution Service, Fair Actualization of Justice)
The accused, Kim Ho Cheol...
Did he admit receiving 500,000 dollars...
regarding the apartment Hyeongho Construction is building?
No, he keeps denying it.
That's okay. We've interviewed all the witnesses...
and have evidence as well, so we'll prove him guilty in court.
This is Prosecutor Choi Ho Jin's office.
Pardon me? V Shopping?
Okay. We'll deliver it to that address, then.
So they moved?
What the... She's wearing a knockoff.
Hey.
Are you talking about me?
What do you mean?
How could you think that this is a knockoff?
The designer gave me this as a gift.
Yours is probably a knockoff.
No, it's not.
Whatever. Just take it off.
Why should I?
It's embarrassing to be wearing the exact same scarf.
Then why don't you take it off?
Well, you're making it look cheap.
I'm speechless.
This scarf was designed for women in their 30s to 40s.
The avant-garde design emphasizes mature beauty.
Don't be such a stuck-up when you're clueless.
What? A stuck-up? What the...
Good for you that you're so old.
- Hey. - What are you doing?
Shall I teach you a lesson?
I don't want to take medicine.
You have to take it to make your stomachache go away.
Ha Eun, if you want to be a model when you grow up,
you have to eat well and recover soon.
- All right, fine. - Okay.
Good girl. My sweetie, you're such a good girl.
Ha Eun, do you want to draw something?
Your uncle is visiting for the weekend.
- Let's show him. - Okay.
Gosh, my baby.
That poor thing.
Why did she have to end up with that rare disease?
She has to be on her medication all her life...
and can't even eat much meat.
She'll be fine after getting the surgery later on.
Getting transplant surgery isn't easy.
You have to wait for a long time, and it's extremely expensive.
We're saving up for it, you know.
We have to wait until she's a little older anyway,
so we should be able to save up enough money until then.
If only we still had the file for the technology...
Where did it go? It's not like it has feet.
No idea. It literally vanished into thin air.
I should've just accepted Noyu's offer.
Why was I so bullheaded back then?
Mom, don't worry.
I kept some files separately,
so I'll recall the details and restore everything no matter what.
It's easier said than done.
Ha Eun, you can draw so well.
The prettiest one here must be you.
Who's this man? Why does he have his back facing us?
It's Dad.
Dad?
Yes. I don't know what he looks like, you know.
That's why I drew him like this.
Ha Eun.
Mom, why won't Dad come home?
Can't he come home already?
Seung Cheol always makes fun of me, saying I don't have a dad.
Where are you going?
To track down the owner of the car.
You still haven't given up?
We must find the person and find out the truth.
How are you going to do that? Too much time has passed.
Give up already.
If we find who took Eun Hye to that cliff,
we should be able to find out something.
See you later.
Excuse me. Hello.
This is from five years ago.
- I'm not sure. - It's too long ago.
Thank you anyway.
Welcome back, Yu Jin.
You're our second-largest shareholder,
so you should be here.
Call me Kate, Tae Seok.
"Kate"?
I don't want people to find out who I am.
I don't like it when people have preconceived ideas about me.
Oh, don't tell Jae Hyuk and Min Hyuk either for the time being.
If that's what you want, sure.
By the way,
you must've been under a lot of stress.
You used to be more handsome than Alain Delon,
but you've aged so much.
Is Hwa Ran stressing you out? Or is it your kids?
No, I'm fine.
Keeping everything bottled up inside can make you sick.
Feel free to vent to me whenever anything is stressing you out.
Okay?
I'm so happy that you're back.
I should go and see my nephews. It's been so long.
Min Hyuk is the Director of Strategy.
What about Jae Hyuk?
You'll find out soon enough.
Hello, sir. It's nice to meet you.
I'm Designer Hwang Yeon Su.
The one who worked at JB Apparel in France, right?
Yes, sir.
I see. Nice to meet you.
Meet Kate, your manager.
Yes, sir.
We've met before, haven't we?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kate Han, the manager of the design team.
I see. I look forward to working with you.
I apologize. Earlier, I didn't know who you were.
Why are you all servile now?
Where did that attitude and bravado go?
You see, I can't stand those who treat people differently...
depending on who they are.
Just keep that attitude.
Don't change.
What do you mean, sir? A transfer out of town?
- I can't do that. - You need to take responsibility...
for not managing the team properly and manufacturing so many defects.
Please give me a chance, sir.
Mr. Oh and Mr. Kang.
You're removed from your positions.
If I were to give Mr. Kim another chance,
someone else would have to take responsibility.
Sir, my kids are still young.
Sir, forgive me just this once.
Just this one time.
Aren't you embarrassed?
How much more do you want your staff to suffer?
Hello, Mr. Han.
This is my first day.
I'm Kate Han, the manager of the design team.
I'm Hwang Yeon Su, the head designer.
I see. Welcome. I look forward to working with you.
Why are you staring at me?
Because you're handsome.
I tend to get a little distracted when I see good-looking guys.
Well, I should go and get some work done.
It's been a while, Mr. Han.
I didn't expect that you'd be happy to see me,
but can't you at least pretend?
I'm so happy to see you again.
Why here?
From what I know, many other companies wanted you.
Because I wanted to see you again.
Let's try to get along.
You should go and do your work.
Excuse me. Do you still have cars from five years ago?
Of course not. We scrapped all the old cars a long time ago.
So nothing is left?
- None. - I see.
What brought you back to Korea?
You talked as if you'd never come back.
I got tired of living abroad.
- I'm back for good. - What?
And I now work at Noyu.
By the way, Min Hyuk has changed so much.
When he was little, he was always like, "I'll tell Mom on you."
He was such a crybaby.
I mean, he couldn't even catch a fly.
He used to shiver like this. What a chicken.
That was ages ago.
Min Hyuk is so good at his job now.
Tae Seok and even all the executives highly praise him.
Sure, of course. He is your son, after all.
Don't tell him who I really am for the time being.
Things will get awkward at work if he finds out that I'm his aunt.
You'll live with us, so how is that possible?
I won't live here.
Because someone might hate me.
You see, hatred is a weapon.
It can hurt, in large doses.
This is my first home-cooked meal in such a long time.
It's so delicious.
You didn't cook this yourself, right?
I have to say, Jae Hyuk's mom was such a great cook.
Yu Jin.
Hwang Yeon Su.
Why did you even come here?
What is it that you want to check?
Who are you?
Are you here to sell something?
No solicitors are allowed in here.
I'm not a solicitor.
Are you here to view the room?
The room?
Yes, I am. But I'm just going to leave.
What are you doing?
My grandma said I should let in anyone who's here...
to view the room.
Hey, give it back. Hey!
Grandma, someone's here to see the room!
Welcome.
You. You're...
You're Yeon Su, right?
How dare you come here?
I'm sorry.
Uncle Ho Jin!
Yeon Su.
How long has it been?
I heard you were studying abroad.
Why didn't you stay in touch with us?
Were you that busy?
I must say, you've gotten so pretty. You look like a different person.
I'm back.
You're here.
What's wrong with Ho Jin? How long has he been like that?
You probably know more than I do.
What do you mean? I know nothing about this.
You really don't know anything?
How would I know?
What happened to Ho Jin?
I texted you and said Ho Jin got injured.
So it's because of that injury?
Yes, he's suffering from localized amnesia.
By the way,
how come you're not asking about Min Ah?
Min Ah...
Right. Where is she?
It's none of your business.
By the way, who's that girl?
She seems to be around the same age as Min Ah.
She's my daughter.
What? Your daughter?
When did you have a baby?
None of your business.
Why? Why are you so curious about my family after all these years?
You abandoned everything and left us.
Do you still have feelings left for Ho Jin?
- Is that why you're back? - No.
I just wanted to see...
how you're doing and if everyone's well.
We lived together for years, you know.
I'm sorry,
but I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.
Sister.
"Sister"?
Did you ever think of me as your sister?
Forget it.
Just leave.
I should get going.
Yeon Su, stay and have some food with us.
It's okay. I should go.
My shoes.
What are you doing, wearing my shoes?
Your shoes are so nice.
My mom only wears running shoes.
My goodness. Ha Eun, don't do that. Take them off.
I don't want to. I want to keep them.
I said you shouldn't do that. Come here.
My gosh, Ha Eun!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Come here. Sit down.
My goodness.
Let me see.
What is this?
Hey, what will you do about this? What are you going to do now?
Why are you yelling at her?
How can I stay calm?
Darn it. These are very expensive.
Shouldn't you have disciplined your kid better?
Don't be mean to my mom.
It's my fault. Why are you being mean to my mom?
You little brat.
How dare you call her a brat?
You think we're a joke, don't you?
Why must you show up and cause a scene?
Get out at once! You evil witch.
Mom.
Ha Eun, go to your room and read your book.
Mom, you should also go to your room and get some rest.
- Gosh. - Go on.
Yeon Su.
When will you move back in?
What?
You should move back in now that you're back.
Well, I got a studio apartment.
Why? You can live here with us.
I'm just more comfortable that way. I'm off.
How's Jae Hyuk doing these days?
Still the same, sir.
No, not this.
Not this either.
I don't get it. I followed the recipe to a tee.
Why can't I get the taste right?
Why? Why not?
