(Episode 36)
Han Yu Jung?
Her name is Han Yu Jung?
Yes.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Why did you break up?
My mom didn't want it.
She sent me to the US so that I won't be able to see her.
I didn't know we'd be apart for this long at that time.
She might be able to find you.
You're the son of DL Group.
Yu Jung doesn't know I'm the son of DL Group.
That's why I have to find her.
Then...
if you find her,
what are you going to do with Yu Ra?
I'll have to break up with her.
I want to be with Yu Jung.
You're going to have breakfast, right?
It won't take long to prepare.
Su Hee, about Yu Jung...
Yes, what about her?
She doesn't usually talk much about the child's father.
Did she tell you anything?
I asked her too,
but her husband suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly disappeared?
He didn't pass away?
No.
I don't really know the details.
That's all she told me.
But why do you ask?
I was just curious.
Her husband suddenly disappeared?
My mom didn't want it.
She sent me to the US...
so that I won't be able to see her.
So she gave birth to Seo Jun's child and has been raising him ever since?
Here, Dong Ho.
Have one.
You eat so well.
You must be bored not going to kindergarten today.
Play with your grandma today and go there tomorrow, okay?
- Okay. - Good.
What's that?
I've never seen that doll before.
My mom bought me a new one.
Do you like Mickey Mouse that much?
Yes, I love him!
Hello.
Hi.
Hey, Dong Ho.
He didn't go to his kindergarten today?
No. He seems to have a slight cold. So I kept him.
Are you here to try it out?
No, I have something to tell you today.
I heard that you take a lot of side jobs these days.
What kind of job is it?
It's a housekeeper job at a rich family's house.
The work isn't that difficult,
and you just have to pop in during the afternoon.
It's only for a week.
And they promised a high weekly wage.
How much are they paying?
It's 2,000 dollars for a week.
It's 2,000 dollars?
Hello, Hee Sang.
Tomorrow?
Of course. Yes.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
Is it the guy from the blind date last time?
Yes.
Though I cut my hair short,
he still told me I was cute and pretty.
He looks kind, and he seems pretty fit.
I think he's a good guy.
You must really like him.
But what should I wear tomorrow?
Hold on. What clothes do I have?
Wear the dress you bought last time.
- It was cute. - What?
No. You see,
I don't have earrings that go well with it.
Hwa Yeon, your earrings.
Can you lend me your diamond earrings?
I think they'll match the dress perfectly.
I can't because he bought them for our 30th wedding anniversary.
I'll lend you something else.
Mr. Koo, did you get here?
I'll be out soon.
There you are.
It's indeed pretty and graceful.
I'll wear them in secret and put them back safely.
She will never know.
Did something good happen?
You startled me.
You didn't go to work yet?
I'm going now.
Aren't these Mother's earrings?
Yes, she lent me these.
Go to work, okay?
Did you wait here long?
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.
It's fine.
Did your wound heal already?
Yes.
That's good.
By the way, what did you want to talk about?
I have to ask you something.
It's a little personal.
What is it?
I heard your husband didn't pass away.
You two parted because he suddenly disappeared.
Yes.
Why did he disappear?
Did your family object to it? Such as your mother.
Yes.
But...
why do you ask?
I was wondering if I could help.
What would you do if you meet the child's father?
If only I could meet him,
I'd like to live happily...
with Dong Ho and him.
I really...
miss him.
Get your head straight, Min Hyuk.
Yu Jung loves Seo Jun.
And she's waiting for him with his child.
So Yu Jung doesn't know Yu Ra is married to Seo Jun.
Since Seo Jun and Yu Jung miss each other,
Yu Ra will be pushed aside once the two of them meet.
But how do I get them to meet?
Hey, Ye Jin.
How's the preparation for the open recruitment going?
I'm not sure.
I'm doing it, but it would mean I prepared well if I get it.
It would mean I'm not if I don't get it.
I'm sure you'll do well. I'm rooting for you.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Hello.
What's with the early morning call?
Oh, really?
So you got the job?
Congratulations.
Okay. We'll meet right after my exam.
Sure.
Who was that?
It's a college senior I used to know.
She took a break for three years after giving birth,
and she got a job.
It's really tough to get a job these days...
when you have a child and had a career break.
She was having a hard time failing at document examinations.
It turned out really well for her.
Is that so?
It's a relief that she's got such a great opportunity.
I should work hard for it too.
So you're saying...
we should add special employment...
for women's social independence in this employment notice?
Yes.
It seems that a lot of women are having a hard time finding jobs...
or show their abilities due to raising their children.
If we offer them flexible working hours,
I think we can hire...
many talented female employees.
I think it is a great idea.
If we add child-care welfare,
it would be better.
I see.
If the company thinks of the employees' welfare,
the employees will be more satisfied with their work.
Then the companies labor pool...
will be more stable.
It sounds like a great idea, Chief Yu.
Thank you.
Then, shall I notify the recruitment including the special employment?
The purposes of recruitment differ between the two recruits.
The special screening should be...
held separately as a contest.
Okay, I will do so.
Hello, Min Hyuk. How are you?
A contest?
Yes, my company created a contest for special recruitment.
It reminded me of Yu Jung, so I called you.
What kind of contest is it?
It won't be difficult as it supports women's social activities.
All she needs to do is to match the company marketing and concept well.
Also, if she gets chosen, she can work as a regular employee here.
I think it is a great opportunity for Yu Jung.
What do you think?
It is a great opportunity. I understood.
I will tell her.
Bye.
Yu Jung.
What do you think of working as a regular employee?
I do want to work as a regular employee,
but Dong Ho is too young, so I don't think I can.
Actually, DL Group is opening a special recruitment contest,
and I was thinking you could apply for that contest.
They are offering flexible work arrangements for working moms.
DL Group, did you say?
Then I'm a bit...
I saw you working, and I thought you'll be good in the fashion field.
You are too talented to work part-time here.
No, thank you. I am okay.
If Dong Ho grows up, I will think about it.
Hello, Mrs. Ju.
My name is Yeo Sook Ja.
I am looking forward to work for you for the following week.
We had to call you in a hurry as the former helper couldn't come.
There is not much you should do. Just clean up the house,
do the laundry, and cook.
I will. I am great at house chores.
Doing the laundry, cleaning the house, even cooking,
you name it!
I will do everything perfectly as you like it.
What shall I do first?
Would you start by cleaning up the second floor?
The vacuum and hand mop...
will be in storage.
I see.
Gosh.
A rich house sure is different from our house.
When I was young,
I wanted to live in a house with stairs.
Now I didn't get to live one...
but got to clean one.
Gosh.
Sook Ja, your fate is so unfortunate.
How unlucky!
Miss, can you clean nothing but the floor of this room?
Yes, ma'am.
Mom!
You're...
Yu Ra!
Why are you coming out of that room?
What happened, Mom?
Why are you here?
I came here to work part-time as a housekeeper.
Then...
it was you who was supposed to come here and help us for a week?
What were you thinking?
I didn't know it was the house of your in-laws!
If so,
was that lady your mother-in-law?
She looked so elegant.
She didn't look like someone who would treat you badly.
My daughter!
It has been so long since I have seen you this closely.
How have you been?
So this place is...
your newlywed room.
Gosh.
My son-in-law!
I didn't know when I saw it in the video,
but as I see it like this, he looks more handsome.
Yu Ra.
Is your husband nice to you?
Mom, just go.
Why should I?
I am so glad to meet you like this.
My daughter Yu Ra,
you became more beautiful than when I saw you on television.
Maybe it is because you are a newlywed couple.
Ma'am!
Mom, please just go.
Please...
let me work here...
for just a week.
During that week,
I want to see your face as much as I want to.
What are you talking about? What if you get caught?
You know I'm good at acting.
I won't get caught.
Don't talk such nonsense and leave right now.
Ma'am!
Come here, please.
Come on!
Did you call me?
Yes, I did.
I think you should clean the storage room on the first floor first.
Mrs. Ju, I am sorry.
I have a very urgent business to do. I have to go.
- Excuse me? - I mean...
You should look for someone else. I am sorry.
You can't quit like this all of a sudden!
What kind of urgent business is it?
I cannot tell you.
Anyway, please look for someone who can replace me.
Wait, look.
Ma'am!
How rude!
Mom, why did you come so early?
Don't ask.
Mr. Kang!
How could you introduce me to a workplace like that?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
It is nothing.
Yu Myung,
I am too upset to look over the store. You do it instead.
- Mom! - Nice timing.
You should look over the store with Yu Myung.
Why does Mom look so down?
I don't know. She was happy in the morning that she will be paid well.
Was there a problem with that house?
A problem?
They are a rich family. It must have been fine.
The chores would have been easy.
What part-time job did she go to?
She went as a housekeeper to the house of the chairman of DL Group.
- DL Group? - DL Group?
Did Yu Ra ignore you again...
just like how she did in the broadcasting station lobby?
No, she didn't.
What do you mean "she didn't"? Your face says she did.
Why did you go there in the first place?
I had no idea either!
If I knew it, I wouldn't have gone there.
By any chance,
did Yu Ra kick you out...
worried that she might get caught?
I don't want to talk about it.
I am too distracted to talk. Leave the room.
It's me. Eat some fruit.
I bought them while I was doing the groceries,
and they were sweet and delicious.
Thank you.
By the way, Su Hee,
did you hear anything about Yu Jung applying for DL Group's recruitment?
Yes, I asked her right after your call,
and she said she won't apply for it.
Why not?
I am not sure.
I think her child is too young for her to work full-time in a company.
Rest well.
Thanks.
Why won't she do it?
It's the most natural for her to meet Seo Jun after being employed.
How could she do such a thing?
How could she kick Mom out of the house?
Mom thinks so much of her.
What brings him to call me this late at night?
Hello, Chief Yu.
Hello. I heard from Su Hee...
that you are not applying for DL Group.
No.
Dong Ho is still too young,
so I can't work full-time in a company.
That is why I said it is a greater opportunity this time.
The company has incorporated flextime...
for women such as you who have children to raise.
Think it over again.
And you never know when you'll get another chance like this.
I appreciate it,
but I don't think it'll work for me.
Is there another reason as to why you won't apply to DL?
I'm sorry?
There's no such reason.
Anyway, thanks for even giving me a call.
Bye, then.
It is indeed a good chance.
But what if I run into Yu Ra while working there?
It's better not to do it.
I'm hungry.
I was trying to be coy...
on my date with Hee Sang and could barely eat.
I almost fainted from hunger.
I feel relieved now.
I'll take these earrings off now...
and put them back in Hwa Yeon's room.
What?
Where did the other one go?
Where is it?
What do I do?
Where could they be?
I put the earrings in here.
That's strange.
Why, Mother? Is something wrong?
Yu Ra, have you seen my diamond earrings by any chance?
No, I haven't.
Did you lose them?
I'm sure I put them in the jewel box.
Mi Ri, have you seen my diamond earrings by any chance?
No. I haven't seen them.
Auntie, could it be...
Hwa Yeon, look again.
Maybe you put them somewhere else.
I searched everywhere, but I can't find them.
Did someone come into my room?
Do you think that lady could've taken them?
What?
That can't be.
No. It's strange how she rushed out...
in the middle of her shift.
I'm sure it's not that.
Mother, try searching again.
Yes, Hwa Yeon. Look thoroughly.
I heard how you lent us the money.
Thank you. We'll surely repay you.
It's fine.
What are families for?
These are the times we should help each other out.
Stay here however long you want.
Don't worry about us.
Okay. If you say so,
I'll be able to stay here like my own home.
Do I have to keep sharing my room with Uncle, then?
I guess so. Why? Don't you like it?
The sound of your snoring is louder than the waves in Hawaii.
Look.
See how dark circles formed under my eyes from sleep deprivation?
My face is all I got.
You see, Yu Myung.
An actor needs to encounter hardships to be able to succeed.
Your acting will have more depth...
if you can overcome such hardships. Do you understand?
- Here's the food. - Okay.
Mom, come out!
Oh, gosh.
Dear,
you said you'd be away for a week for a part-time job.
Why didn't you go?
I decided not to go.
Why not?
Did something happen?
The food looks great today.
Come on, Dad. Let's eat. The food's getting cold.
Hello?
Yes.
Yeo Sook Ja?
The police?
It wasn't me.
I'm telling you it wasn't me.
Ma'am, did you really check everywhere?
She's strongly denying it.
Couldn't it be that you put them somewhere else?
No.
I looked the whole night,
but I came to report this morning as I still couldn't find them.
Also,
she was the only one who came to my house yesterday.
Ma'am, it really wasn't me.
And I don't even know what those earrings look like.
Then why did you rush out so urgently yesterday?
I had a personal reason.
But it really wasn't me.
That's true. My mom would...
never steal other people's things.
I'll go easy on the punishment if you tell the truth.
They are important to me.
I just want them back.
If you keep lying,
I'll have to take legal action.
Young lady, you'd know.
You know that I was only upstairs, don't you?
Don't you?
You were around me the whole time.
"Young lady"?
Is that true, Yu Ra?
Were you with this lady the whole time?
The thing is...
I lost one of the earrings.
What?
I was going to put them back after using them,
but I don't know where it went.
Then tell the truth to Mother.
I can't.
If you don't,
an innocent person will take the blame.
I can never do that.
It's a gift from Woo Seok out of everything.
Hwa Yeon will surely get upset.
She gets really scary when she gets upset.
What will you do, then?
Yu Ra, I just need you to keep quiet.
The lady didn't steal them either.
There's no proof nor witness.
She'll get released for lack of proof.
How could you do that?
If you can't say it,
I'll tell Mother.
I kept your secret.
What?
That you and Seo Jun got married because of President Ko's contract.
I kept that secret.
But can't you even keep this for me?
Yu Ra,
you tell me.
Were you with this lady the whole time?
Young lady,
you know I didn't go into that room.
Right?
You don't know that.
I only saw you upstairs,
but you could've gotten in there before you saw me.
What did you say?
I'm telling you it's not me!
I'm telling you I'm not!
Calm down first.
But if you don't have proof nor witness,
we can't do anything else from here.
It wasn't me!
I can assert that it wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Hwa Yeon, don't be too upset.
Let's go. It's time for your meeting at the foundation.
I'll get going first.
Bye.
Okay, Mother.
See you at home.
Auntie.
Yes?
Let's have a talk.
Why would Yu Ra be here?
Mom.
Why did you bother coming here?
Did you drop off Dong Ho at the kindergarten?
How did it go?
Let me stop by the bathroom.
I have the urge to go now that I feel more relaxed.
Go on, Mom.
Yu Myung, what happened?
Seriously, that Yu Ra.
How could she do that to Mom?
Wasn't I right?
It ended with a lack of proof.
It's fortunate that I didn't get caught by Hwa Yeon.
Now that I did as you wished,
please keep our promise.
You have to keep my secret until the end.
You will, right?
Okay.
You're heading to the broadcasting station, no?
I'll get going first.
So,
you drove Mom as the culprit...
in order to keep your secret?
I didn't drive anyone.
I heard everything you said...
with your aunt.
Mom was to be released for lack of proof either way.
I wouldn't have acted the same if it wasn't.
And I wasn't the one who accused Mom.
You don't know that.
Even when Mom went to your house as a housekeeper,
you kicked her out in fear of...
getting caught by your mother-in-law.
How would I trust your words?
Hey.
Don't trust me if you don't want to.
And...
I don't have a mom who works as a housekeeper.
What?
Let me tell you once again.
I let go of everything when I left five years ago.
I let go of my family and those annoying memories.
Are you seriously saying that?
She's still your mom.
Is Mom someone you can just throw out like that?
Yes.
I can.
Since I'm the one who threw her out of my life.
So please, get out of my sight.
And don't be an obstacle in my life.
An obstacle?
Should I really try being...
an obstacle in your life?
Are you threatening me?
Sure.
Go on and try.
Try if you want to see me die!
Yu Ra!
This will be the last time I'm telling you, so listen carefully.
We have nothing to do with each other now.
I sincerely hope to never see you again.
How could Yu Ra...
do that?
Why don't you think it over?
We have nothing to do with each other now.
I sincerely hope to never see you again.
If she still says no after all this,
I'll have to think of another way...
Seo Jun and Yu Jung can meet each other.
Hello, Yu Jung.
I'll do it.
I want to get into DL.
Actually,
I have to get in there.
(A Man in a Veil)
What theme do I have to come up with?
It's too hard.
Are you crazy?
What if you run into Yu Ra?
Why do I have to let go of a good chance because of her?
I told you to not go.
I wanted to apologize to you if I saw you again.
I'm sorry for hurting you.
I want to feel love again, and to you.
We're only registered as a family.
I'll worry about my business as you say so, Seo Jun.
I'm glad it could be of help.
What's wrong with me?
Yu Jung, get a grasp.
