(Episode 38)
What are you doing here?
Why did you ask about the factory?
I'm sure you didn't ask because you were worried.
So tell me why you asked.
What are you talking about?
Did you want to stop me that badly?
Jae Hyuk.
You tried to stop me from finding a new factory, didn't you?
Did you bribe the factory owner?
How dare you say that to my mom?
No. You got the wrong idea, Jae Hyuk.
I only asked because I was worried.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Why are you being like this?
You suspected me. Now, you're even suspicious of my mom?
What is your problem?
Then why are all the factories suddenly rejecting the order?
Why are they changing their words?
Why are you asking my mom about that?
Because I have a reason to believe she's behind it.
Jae Hyuk, calm down and hear me out first.
I wanted to help you but couldn't think of a way.
So I asked because I was frustrated.
I was so relieved when I heard you found a factory.
Who knew they'd suddenly change their words like this?
The factory owner needs to be taught a lesson. Shall I meet him?
Enough, please.
Jae Hyuk, I can't believe this.
I'm your mother.
What kind of mother would get in the way of her son's future?
If you keep insulting my mom like this, I won't stand still.
Min Hyuk, you'd better get a clear idea of what's going on.
Don't try to stop me, especially using such underhanded means.
I will not stand still.
Look at him.
He's finally beginning to reveal his claws.
Why are you out here?
Where were you?
Did you meet with Ms. Jang?
Do you think she interfered so that we wouldn't find a factory?
I can't help but be suspicious of her.
I mean, based on the circumstances.
Everyone's saying they can't do it as if they signed a pact,
and they're changing their words.
It's simply not possible without some kind of external pressure.
I find it quite strange as well,
but there's no reason for her to do that to her own son.
Everyone's here.
I have big news for you. I found a factory!
- Really? - Seriously?
That's right. You can now put your worries to rest.
I found a factory with all the systems you'd need.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
You don't need to thank me. Just do a good job.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'll cover the factory rental fees.
I should tell Mr. Kim right away.
Best of luck.
They say that a fire can bring good luck.
Thanks.
Tae Seok, about the factory...
Like you said, I told him I found it.
Okay, that's great.
Get some rest.
Who was that?
Yu Jin said she found a factory for Jae Hyuk.
What?
I bet Jang Hwa Ran told those factories not to work with me.
Does that mean she's the one who started the fire?
What are you thinking about?
Have you contacted the police station?
Apparently, there's no witness or evidence whatsoever.
But I feel like there's something fishy going on.
I mean, the timing was just too perfect.
We'll begin production today.
Mr. Kim brought some workers for us,
The machine for the special thread has been set up as well.
I see. Good work.
Team One has begun their production.
What? How...
Kate found a factory for us.
Kate...
Sir. My gosh.
I said we should go together. Why did you leave alone?
You're the VP of the company. You shouldn't do things like this.
I'm here as a member of the team, not as the VP of the company.
Team One.
By the way, where is Soo Ho?
Soo Ho went to help Mr. Kim in the dyeing process.
He still feels terrible and isn't sure how he can face you again.
He's very worried.
I feel bad too.
He couldn't look after his mother because of the competition.
He said he's grateful...
that you're letting him stay on the team.
Sure thing. Once a team, always a team.
I'm so happy that we've begun production.
It's giving me so much energy.
- Let's move them. - Okay!
Be careful.
Let's go.
Come in.
Mr. Han.
We worked hard, but this is the end result.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
My incompetence is to blame.
(Our patties are free of artificial additives.)
(Burger and Fries)
Yu Jin.
Tae Seok!
How's work going? Having fun?
Here it is.
Enjoy. Everything's on the house.
Oh, really? Thanks.
But why did you decide to open a burger joint?
Tae Seok, do you know when I had a burger for the very first time?
When I was five years old.
When you were five?
You bought me a burger for the very first time in my life.
Don't you remember?
You picked me up like this and carried me on your shoulders...
to the newly opened burger joint in our neighborhood.
Did I? You still remember that?
Of course. How could I forget that taste?
- Try it. - All right.
It's quite tasty.
Spending time with you like this is bringing back the old memories.
I still remember you carrying me on your shoulders,
but you've aged so much.
Right. You're my little sister, but I treated you like my daughter.
I know. You were always like a dad to me.
By the way, when will you tell the boys that you're their aunt?
They wouldn't be comfortable with me when they find out.
I'll feel a little uneasy too.
And frankly, it's quite fun to keep it from them.
Gosh, you.
You've fooled them enough, so you should tell them now.
Okay. I'll tell them when the right opportunity comes along.
Mr. Han.
- Ms. Hwang. - What are you doing here?
I kept walking and realized I came this far.
You should've called me.
Are you going somewhere?
- To the grocery store... - Can I...
come in for a cup of tea?
You said...
you understand me...
and that I can tell you anything.
Then,
would you listen to my story?
Sure, you can tell me anything.
When I was little,
my dad visited my grandpa with Jae Hyuk during every school break.
I wanted to go with them,
but even my grandparents only wanted to see Jae Hyuk.
Back then, I didn't understand why,
but I found out later on...
that Jae Hyuk and I have different mothers.
Was it when I was seven?
While playing with Jae Hyuk,
I broke my dad's favorite ceramic piece,
but only I got scolded.
Jae Hyuk was always the one getting all the compliments.
I thought that was when I gave up...
seeking validation from my dad.
But the thing is,
I recently realized...
that I haven't actually given up yet.
I've realized that I'm still...
the seven-year-old boy...
who's seeking his dad's validation.
Mr. Han.
I do not want to feel...
such a sense of defeat ever again.
Never.
I believe in you.
I also know that you won't give up here.
No matter what the situation may be,
I'll always be on your side.
Yes, I won't give up here.
I'll rise again.
What is this?
Take it.
Why are you giving me this?
You sold this watch a while ago.
I intentionally bought the exact same model.
But why are you giving me this watch?
I just wanted to...
I bought this for you because I'm fond of you.
You're fond of me?
That's right. I like you.
Ms. Han.
What?
You're making me uncomfortable.
I'm sorry, but I can't accept this watch.
Goodness. He's so square, just like someone.
You fool. I'm your aunt.
My goodness.
Gosh, I'm speechless. Oh, boy.
What's going on?
Why is my heart pounding? What is wrong with me?
What's wrong? What happened?
I just saw Cake confessing her feelings.
What?
- She confessed her feelings? - Yes.
She gave Vice President Han a watch as a gift...
and went on about how much she likes him.
She got him the exact same watch as the one he had.
The one he sold to pay back the money I spent, you know?
What?
Why do you think she got him such an expensive watch?
She obviously wants to marry him.
So? Did he accept the watch?
I'm sure he did. Why wouldn't he accept that expensive watch?
Cake is a pretty good catch,
except for her age.
I told you that there's something going on between those two.
My gosh, I guess I'll be attending my tenants' wedding soon.
"Wedding"? Give me a break.
Why are you getting all riled up?
My goodness.
That's tough.
What do you think of Ms. Han?
I think she's a wonderful person.
But she's just like a good friend.
Nothing more than that?
No, not at all.
- Really? Like, never? - That's right.
To be honest, I thought she had a crush on you.
Right, I also thought...
I can't figure her out.
He accepted that expensive watch?
What's he thinking? Are they really getting married or what?
Hang on. Why do I even care?
Gosh. It has nothing to do with me.
- So Won. - Hey.
Kim Hyeon Chan arrived at the airport this morning.
Kim Hyeon Chan?
The man who found Eun Hye and called the police?
Yes. I tried calling him, but he's still not answering.
Really? I'll try calling him as well.
Let's meet him together.
Okay.
By the way, have you heard?
Ms. Han told Vice President Han that she likes him.
Yes.
I didn't know she actually had feelings for him.
I was surprised.
What did he say about it?
Never mind. Forget it.
We got the first sample from the factory.
We'll wrap it up soon and keep you updated.
Okay.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
What is it?
Well...
What's the matter? Just say it.
I heard Ms. Han confessed her feelings for you.
I also heard you accepted the watch she bought for you.
What? What do you mean I accepted a watch from her?
You didn't accept it?
Why would I?
I see. You didn't accept it.
I'll work hard, as always.
Have a great day.
- I'm going to the factory. - Okay, good luck.
Ms. Han.
What's up?
I heard you told Vice President Han that you like him.
I did?
Right, yes. He rejected me though.
Do you actually have feelings for him?
He's younger than you though.
You're quite old-fashioned even though you're young.
Who cares about age gaps these days?
And biologically, it's better for women to date younger men.
Right, but...
He rejected me once, but I certainly won't give up.
I'll keep hitting on him until he gives in.
Stop worrying about my love life...
and just get your work done.
You said you were going to the factory. Get going.
Okay.
Gosh, this is so fun.
Why is it that everyone I live with is so gullible?
Fooling them is so much fun.
Ms. Hwang.
Yes.
I have a meeting later,
but I left the briefing materials at home.
Could you go pick them up for me?
I can't go myself as I'm too busy.
Sure.
Ms. Song is at the shop,
so there may not be anyone at home now.
Here, take my key.
Ha Eun.
What happened to your face?
Ha Eun, who is this lady?
Are you her aunt?
You two look so much alike.
Pardon me?
I had no idea that Ha Eun was allergic to peanuts.
I accidentally gave her a peanut butter sandwich.
She's allergic to peanuts?
I ate the sandwich because I couldn't see what was inside.
Then this happened to my face.
I took her to the hospital, so she just took some medicine.
It'll calm down soon.
I see. I'll take Ha Eun inside.
Okay, sure.
Goodbye, ma'am.
Bye, Seung Cheol.
Bye. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll give you the penguin toy tomorrow.
- Okay. Thanks. - Bye.
Let's go.
I'm allergic to peanuts too.
Ha Eun, you're doing that again.
You need to eat everything to be a strong girl.
I don't want to eat it though.
Ms. Hwang, you don't like those mushrooms either?
And we both don't like mushrooms.
Ms. Hwang, why are you looking at me like that?
Ha Eun, where's your dad?
My dad is the wind.
What did you say?
My dad passed away.
And he's become the wind.
So you don't know what your dad looks like?
No, I don't. It makes me sad.
I don't know what my dad looks like even though I can feel the wind.
I'm sorry.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Grandma!
Why did you come with Ha Eun?
Seung Cheol's mom said she'd bring her home.
I ran into them right outside.
Ha Eun, I told you not to hold hands with just about anyone.
But Ms. Hwang isn't "just about anyone".
You said she's like a part of our family.
I heard you took some medicine, but it's still red around your mouth.
Go on in.
Why did that woman give you that darn sandwich to begin with?
Don't speak ill of Seung Cheol's mom.
Seung Cheol promised me that he'll give me his penguin toy.
What brings you here?
Ms. Han asked me to pick up some documents.
Take them and leave, then.
Ms. Song.
When did Ha Eun's dad pass away?
She said she doesn't even know what he looks like.
Why...
Why do you ask? Why do you need to know that?
Well, I was just curious.
Stop asking useless questions and just leave.
No one in this house wants to see you.
Let's try not to run into each other.
(Hope Infant Welfare Center, Director Jo Myung Ja)
The person you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Why isn't she picking up?
Hey, about Ha Eun...
Who is her father?
Why do you ask?
I just suddenly became curious.
It's none of your business.
You've never told me about him or shown me any photos of him.
Show you his photos? We don't have that kind of relationship.
Also, why do I have to show you his photos?
Would you want to show me photos of your late husband?
To me, it's a wound.
Why must you scratch my wound?
Hwang Yeon Su. Why are you asking about that out of the blue?
Sir, the situation the company is in is quite serious.
The sales numbers have gone up slightly,
but the profit keeps on dropping.
One of our main competitors who got into the market late...
is threatening our position in the industry.
At times like this,
it's crucial that we secure a surefire investment.
You mean,
from Ryu Chi Ho, the CEO of the fashion mall?
The one who came back recently to open a shopping mall.
Right. We must meet him...
and get him to invest in the company no matter what.
You absolutely need his help at the moment.
I'll arrange a meeting with him for you.
This is regarding the investment.
What? Yeon Su brought Ha Eun home?
Apparently, she ran into Ha Eun just outside the door.
She said Cake asked her to pick up some documents for her.
But she asked me about Ha Eun's dad out of the blue.
What?
I guess Ha Eun told her.
She asked me when Ha Eun's dad died.
She asked me as well.
Maybe she got curious because of Ha Eun's peanut allergy.
Right, that must be it.
Yeon Su is also allergic to peanuts, you know.
That's probably why she's suspicious.
We can't let this go on. I should tell Ha Eun...
to never converse with Yeon Su if she runs into her again.
Will that help?
Mom, what if Yeon Su finds out who Ha Eun really is?
I'm worried too. She'll go bonkers if she finds out.
What are you two talking about?
She'll go bonkers if she finds out?
Hey, when did you get home?
Just now.
Well, I was just saying I'll go bonkers if I find out...
who gave peanuts to Ha Eun.
- Yes, that's right. - Peanuts?
Ha Eun had a peanut butter sandwich today...
and had an allergic reaction. That's why.
She's allergic to peanuts?
I didn't know.
Isn't Yeon Su also allergic to peanuts?
What a coincidence.
Why is she so much like me?
No, that can't be.
There's no way Ha Eun is Min Ah.
That family doesn't know I left her at the infant welfare center.
(Business Valuation Report)
You're still up?
I guess it's about the investor.
You're working so hard, son.
Just watch.
I'll make sure this deal comes through no matter what.
You should, and you will.
Mom, Dad. Did you have a good night's sleep?
Yes, come and eat.
The soft tofu soup is light but tasty.
Really? I made it. The housekeeper is taking the day off today.
Mom, were you always such a good cook?
I don't cook often, but I am actually a pretty good cook.
Eat up, son. Eating a hearty meal will help you do your job better.
All right.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
Yes, Mr. Kim Hyeon Chan.
You'll meet with me?
Hey, Ho Jin.
Really? The man who called the police has agreed to meet?
Then let me go with you. Okay.
You don't remember his face?
No, I don't. I only got a glimpse of him.
It was dark.
Could you please try to remember anything you saw?
He didn't seem young.
And I think he was quite tall.
Was he wearing glasses?
I can't quite recall.
That's all I remember.
I agreed to meet with you because you kept calling.
I'm sorry I can't be of much help.
That's okay. Thank you for meeting me.
I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow morning.
That's why I'm here.
I have nothing else to tell you,
so please stop calling me.
- Okay. - I'll be off, then.
So you're saying you saw a man.
- But you don't remember his face? - No.
Actually, a man wanted to meet me, so I saw him just now.
Who is he?
He didn't tell me his name.
What does he look like? Do you know how old he is?
He seemed to be in his late 30s.
He was quite handsome.
Could it be Eun Hye's hubby?
Where did you meet him?
At the cafe that's five minutes away from here, across the street.
I see.
Ho Jin, I'll get going.
Hey, So Won.
Vice President Han?
