(Episode 81)
I am Jung Gyung Soo, the son of Mrs. Choi Sook Jung.
She had me at age 21 and hid me from the world.
I'm the son of Choi Sook Jung over there!
I'll start my inaugural address again from the beginning.
I'd like to thank the executives, staff members,
and everyone else who has gathered here to commemorate my inauguration.
As the new president, I will...
Stop!
Drag her out!
Drag this woman out!
Jong Gwon, are you okay?
What are you doing? Why aren't you taking him to the hospital?
What are you doing?
I guess the past 15 horrid years...
are ending like this.
It's not over yet.
I said it's not over yet.
Everyone, take a seat.
Everyone, sit down!
I'm the new president, Choi Sook Jung!
I'm the new president!
Jong Woo.
What is going on?
I hope he'll be all right.
Wasn't he fine this morning?
It's all over, Mrs. Choi Sook Jung.
No.
It's not over yet.
I haven't ended it yet. Who said it's done?
I, Choi Sook Jung, am not done yet.
Have you gone crazy for her?
How could you tear down your mother for that girl?
After all that I've done to get here, how can you tear me down?
Fine, you should die for her.
I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to ruin her.
How can you still say that?
You'd better just kill me with your own hands.
It's all your fault.
It's your fault for leeching off my son's life.
Mrs. Choi.
If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have gone this far.
Who are you to tear me down?
Brace yourself, Kim Young Shin.
As long as I live, I won't leave you alone.
Why don't you shut your mouth?
I'm going to make you cry a river.
It wasn't enough to ruin my son's life, so you have to ruin mine too?
I'll never forgive you.
Mr. Jung.
Let's go home.
It's all over now,
so let's go home.
I need to visit President Kang at the hospital.
I'm worried about his condition.
Should I take you to the hospital?
Let's go home.
Shouldn't you go to see Uncle Jong Gwon?
Let's go home and wait quietly for fate to do its work.
Fate?
Let's see whether I'll be cursed...
or whether I'll get another chance.
What if he passes away like this?
Jong Gwon, you can't die.
You can't die like this.
Jong Gwon, I've been a bad brother.
I'm so sorry.
He can't just die like this.
Everyone went too far.
He doesn't even have kids, and he dedicated his life...
to caring for the family as our parents wanted.
Look at how much everyone shocked him.
Everyone's just blind in the face of money.
The sky will help us.
It will help us.
He's in the operating room.
Young Shin, let's talk.
That's why I told you to say it from the beginning.
It was bound to be exposed anyway, so why keep quiet until it came to this?
He's not even divorced from Mrs. Choi yet, so if he dies like this,
this will be a great day for Mrs. Choi!
What are you going to do?
In the end, Gyung Soo was Mrs. Choi's son.
Did you know?
Young Shin, did you not know?
I'm sorry.
Are you trying to ruin our family completely?
Let's say Gyung Soo couldn't say it because she's his mother.
What about you? Why didn't you say it?
President Kang loved you so much,
but you waited until this mess happened to him.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Seo.
Mom!
Mr. Jung is Mrs. Choi's son.
How did you find out?
Mom, did you already know?
Where did you hear it?
The restaurant employee homepage is going crazy right now.
I went on the homepage after seeing an article...
that Mrs. Choi will become president.
I heard the news...
that you exposed that you're her son at the inauguration.
President Kang Jong Gwon passed out.
They say he's in surgery.
If something goes wrong, it'll be my fault.
Don't worry for now. Let's wait and see.
Who's whose son?
Are you saying Gyung Soo is that lady Choi Sook Jung's son?
I was so shocked that I still don't know what to think.
Didn't Gyung Soo's parents already pass away?
He had another birth mother.
What's a birth mother?
When did Gyung Soo find that out?
You know that time he disappeared for a few days.
Do you think he found out then?
When Mrs. Choi had the rumor spread about him and Young Shin,
he must've known she was his mother.
Yes.
I can't imagine how Gyung Soo felt.
I feel disgusted to think she was trying to take over the company.
I'm so glad that Gyung Soo is still mentally stable.
How upset must he have been to go in front of so many people...
at the ceremony and scream that he's that lady's son?
He didn't deserve such an awful fate.
He's such a kind person.
You're here so early.
It's not ready yet.
How could you be in here cooking on a day like this?
Go in and rest. Mang Soon and I will cook.
It's okay.
Just go.
You don't have to worry about coming out when we eat.
We'll just fix ourselves some food and leave,
so come out later and have something to eat.
Just go inside.
I'm sorry.
Is it just me, or is it so sad to see him walk away with his head down?
I feel so bad I can hardly look at him.
You make the rice. I'll make the soup.
Oh Bok, it's me.
I can't leave where I am right now.
I have a favor to ask.
Can you tell Mang Soon to make miyeokguk for Mr. Jung?
Are you here to eat? Where is Yong Goo?
Could you make some miyeokguk?
Miyeokguk? Why?
Today is Mr. Jung's birthday.
Right. It's around this time.
Young Shin said she put seaweed in the cabinet under the sink.
Is that so? Then, let's soak it now.
Why did it have to happen to him on his birthday?
It'd be weird to get him a cake in this situation.
Let's just make him miyeokguk.
Are you asleep?
No, I'm not.
I was just lying down.
Are they having dinner?
Mr. Jung, come out and eat.
I decided to eat later.
How can I leave you to eat alone on your birthday?
I hope we didn't call you out when you were feeling tired.
We didn't want to make a fuss,
so we just put our usual dishes out and made miyeokguk.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Gyung Soo.
Thanks.
I'm thankful that you were born, Gyung Soo.
Well, birthdays make you feel moved,
but especially, you mean so much to us than anyone else does.
I'm so thankful that you were born.
That woman gave birth to me this day.
I was born as her son.
Happy birthday, Mr. Jung.
Why is Young Shin missing on a day like this?
Isn't she coming for his birthday?
President Kang got a shock, so she took him to the hospital.
Really?
I heard he had heart problems.
What if something happens to him?
I hope nothing happens.
What are you doing here?
Don't you see? I'm eating.
Jong Gwon is hanging between life and death.
How can you be eating now?
Hunger can blind you.
You should have some if you're hungry too. This miyeokguk is good.
Choi Sook Jung!
Why are you yelling at me when I'm eating?
I know you don't really love your husband.
But I can't believe you're just eating in this situation.
Who said I don't care for him?
Did the surgery go well?
It must've gone well since you came home to change.
You hope he passes away like that.
What?
How can you say that?
I'm his wife.
What kind of a wife wishes her husband to die?
You're his wife?
You had a baby with no problem.
You got some nerve to call yourself his wife.
Why can't I call myself his wife?
He knew Gyung Soo was my son.
Still, he forgave me.
How can others really know what's going on between a married couple?
What?
Then, why did he faint out of shock?
I guess he didn't know it'd be revealed to others.
I can't believe that.
You're certain he will pass away like that.
What about you? Are you really upset that he might die?
Is that why you're so anxious and in bad shape?
- What? - It's so obvious what you're thinking.
The pot is calling the kettle black. Don't be harsh on me.
It's disgusting.
What did you say?
How can you be eating now?
What would I do, then?
This is nerve-racking. I've never been this anxious in my life.
If he passes away, my days will come.
If he wakes up, I'll be in so much trouble.
Why didn't you rest more with Manager Seo?
I'll stay here until Jong Gwon regains consciousness.
You'll tire yourself out.
I won't die from staying here for a few days.
My brother was more like a father to me.
I've never worried about how to support my family.
Honestly, I never worried about that until now.
I thought he would get me food and find me a place to live...
under any circumstances.
He will come back to us in peace.
I feel like I'm sitting in a house that lost its roof.
I'm part of the reason why he got sick.
I made him worry so much.
I can't live...
if he dies like this.
I'd feel so bad and sorry.
How can I live with that?
Young Shin, go get changed at home at least.
Today is Gyung Soo's birthday.
Thirty-eight years ago,
I secretly gave birth to him in fear.
Unfortunately, his birthday is today.
I delivered him in such fear,
but he hurt me so much today.
Everyone is in pain when they give birth to a baby.
All the drama aside, she had a rough day this day.
At what age did she have Gyung Soo, then?
Why does that matter?
Approximately, she was around 20.
An unmarried 20-year-old had a baby with a married man.
How scared she must've been.
That's why her glares are intense.
Nothing would rattle her since she went through that.
How did a woman like her get where she is now?
She must've taken care of everything that stands in her way.
If something goes wrong, what will happen to President Kang's fortune?
They say someone else ends up using the money you make.
Sook Jung won't be able to spend all his money.
Will Gyung Soo get some too?
Just keep washing the dishes. Stop thinking about it.
That makes it a completely different story.
What are you talking about?
Gyung Soo is not the kind of person who would inherit that money.
He might inherit some once she dies.
You're far-sighted, aren't you?
I've been hungry for money for life, so that's all I can think about.
Keep washing the dishes.
We cleaned up the kitchen. Go lock the doors.
I'm sorry for the trouble. I could've washed the dishes.
Washing the dishes wasn't that hard.
Don't worry yourself too much. A lot of things happen in life.
Even so, you have to carry on.
Thank you so much for today.
Why did she suddenly decide to reveal that?
She had Da Jung steal Young Shin's recipe for ready-made foods.
She had an interview with a magazine as if it was her idea.
It said she was a promising businesswoman.
How could Gyung Soo just watch that?
Honey.
Why did you use that tone?
- It's nothing. - Why don't you tell me?
He does anything for Young Shin.
Didn't you know that until now?
Do you think Gyung Soo likes Young Shin?
Did you just realize that?
No. He has feelings for her.
What?
Sook Jung gave birth to him,
but still, he humiliated her in front of everyone.
The humiliation is not the problem.
If President Kang recovers, her life will be over.
So what do you have in mind?
I was thinking about whether it's okay for Gyung Soo and Young Shin...
to like each other as men and women.
Don't be a blabbermouth until they make a decision.
What?
Your face tells me you'll approve of it.
It doesn't matter if we approve of it or not.
We have to respect their decision.
What's gotten into you?
I thought you'd be inflexible and moral about it.
They both are careful and cautious,
and they will take responsibility for their decisions.
Young Shin is like a daughter to me.
You can't have such a hands-off attitude.
When did I have such an attitude?
I'm against it. That can't happen.
That's ridiculous.
What brings you here this late?
Were you drinking beer alone on your birthday?
How is President Kang doing?
He's in the intensive care unit.
I came to get changed and thought I'd see you while I'm here.
It must be tough on you as it is,
so you didn't have to come to see me.
It's your birthday. I have to congratulate you.
I hate that I was born, actually.
Mr. Jung.
If you weren't born into this world,
what would've happened to me?
How could you say that?
You should get going since you saw me.
You might regret later...
what you said to Mrs. Choi today.
I have no regrets.
There's nothing to regret...
when you love someone.
Does that mean...
that you love me?
Don't be ridiculous!
He said he caused the accident for you.
What do you think that means?
So are you going to say it yourself that I killed someone?
Until the day I die,
I wouldn't be able to tell you that I love you.
What are you muttering to yourself and memorizing?
I have to practice saying this whenever I have the time.
What's this?
"Hello."
"I was a bit out of it last time and couldn't introduce myself."
What is this?
Is this what you're going to say at Pil Sun's?
And you're writing it down so that you can memorize it?
It'd be a problem...
if I can't remember anything, being too nervous.
I have to memorize it so that even if I suddenly woke up,
I could say it.
Did you write this yourself?
Let me take a look.
"Hello."
"I was a bit out of it last time..."
Uncle, rather than saying you were a bit out of it,
what's that fancy word for this situation?
Hold on.
Yes. "Overwhelmed." Say you were overwhelmed.
What do you mean by overwhelmed?
Don't say you were a bit out of it,
but instead, you can say you were overwhelmed.
- Overwhelmed? - Yes.
"I was overwhelmed..."
"and couldn't introduce myself."
I'm not sure what it means,
but it sounds nice.
I can't memorize it if it's too long.
I heard Mr. Jung is Mrs. Choi's son.
What's going on?
I heard it's true.
What's going to happen to Young Shin?
She must be feeling complicated.
"Last time,"
"I was overwhelmed..."
"and couldn't introduce myself."
"I am Jang Oh Bok."
"I'm dating Pil Sun."
Have you been memorizing that all day?
I need to memorize it quickly so that I can go there soon.
She must be waiting for me.
Is it okay to memorize what Oh Bok wrote down?
I thought I might ask Mr. Lee.
What does he know?
Still, he's a teacher.
If Yong Goo does as he says, he might be turned down.
He once came to my house but couldn't say anything...
and only kept eating a meal, sweating buckets.
Mr. Lee is so trustworthy,
so he got the approval.
They have to spend a few days with Yong Goo...
to know his real worth.
What are you doing?
Are you writing an essay?
It's hard to fill up a page now that I'm trying to write this.
Although I don't have a son,
I wouldn't have put in so much effort, even if it were my son.
What's that?
Yong Goo is going to go over to Pil Sun's to get approval.
I see. Are you writing down things for him to say?
"Dear Pil Sun's mother,"
"I respectfully came here for your permission."
Why did you write "respectfully" here?
It felt like I should.
It does make sense but is a bit awkward.
You should try writing it.
Do you think they'd give him the time to say this, though?
He's a slow speaker as well.
Rather than sounding eloquent,
it's more important to convey your feelings.
How do you think I can convey my feelings?
Don't be flustered...
and answer her questions truthfully.
Older people don't just listen to what someone says.
They look at how you are talking and your expressions...
to see what your character is like.
The expression on my face?
It's not all that complicated.
Just be yourself and show them who you are.
Be confident.
Be confident?
Of course. You give off a good impression.
Really?
If you seem flustered trying to remember what you've memorized,
she might feel more awkward.
What brings you here?
My husband is hanging between life and death. How can I stay at home?
Are you scared he might make it and not die?
How could you say something like that?
Honey, take me with you.
How am I going to live this life without you?
Please hang in there.
Please try a little harder.
Doctor, how is he doing after the operation?
We will move him to a general ward now.
Really?
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you.
(A Good Supper)
Everyone must be rejoicing. Aren't they?
It's over for you.
You should go back and pack your things.
What are they going to tell you this time? Why are you going?
I'm going there because Pil Sun is waiting for me.
I was grateful that he was alive.
That's what Yong Goo is like to me.
Who are you saying is still his wife?
I'm President Kang's legal wife.
Tell Young Shin to listen to what I said.
Listen to what?
This is the moment for you to repay Gyung Soo.
