(Episode 74)
Is she already up?
Mom.
- Where's Ha Eun? - Ha Eun? She's not in the room?
What?
- Ha Eun! - Ha Eun.
Ha Eun!
- Ha Eun! - Ha Eun!
Ha Eun!
- Ha Eun, Choi Ha Eun! - Ha Eun!
Ha Eun.
Where on earth did she go?
- Ha Eun! - Mom.
Go this way. I'll go the other way.
Okay. Ha Eun! Ha Eun.
- Call me if you find her. - Okay.
Choi Ha Eun!
Ha Eun!
Wait, excuse me.
Have you seen this girl?
She's seven.
She's about this tall.
I haven't seen her.
- Okay. - Sorry.
Gosh, where did she go?
Ha Eun!
(Bus Stop)
The car is ready, sir.
We should leave now to get to the luncheon on time, sir.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Right, okay.
Pull over for a minute.
Hey, kiddo.
You remember me, right?
We met at the hospital the other day.
Yes.
Why are you all alone?
Ms. Choi So Won is your mom, right?
Where's your mom?
Oh, no. I guess you got lost.
Shall I call your mom for you?
What's her number?
Wait, kiddo.
I'm not a kiddo. My name is Ha Eun.
My gosh, I'm sorry.
Ha Eun, come with me.
I'll take you to your mom.
Why not? You don't want to come with me?
I can't go back to my mom.
What?
Come in.
I called them and let them know that you'll be late for the luncheon.
All right.
Kiddo, I got this for you.
All right.
Here, have some.
Come on.
Have you gotten a hold of Ms. Choi?
No, sir. I can't reach her, and she's not here yet.
I heard she called earlier and said she'll be a little late.
Vice President Han is in a meeting at the moment.
All right. Keep calling her.
I will, sir.
Here.
Good.
Oh, dear.
You must've been really hungry.
Yes.
By the way, why were you crying on the street all alone?
I heard that I'm a burden.
What? "A burden"?
Gosh, who said that?
I overheard my grandma's conversation with my mom.
I heard that's what Mr. Get Out's mom said.
She doesn't want my mom to bring me because I'm a burden.
Being a burden to someone is bad, you know.
Like the story about the old man with a lump. He called his lump...
a burden because it was such a nuisance.
What if Mr. Get Out and my mom...
can't get married because I'm a burden to them?
So you packed up and left home?
Yes.
I don't want my mom to be sad because of me.
And I'd hate to see her cry because of me.
Ha Eun!
Choi Ha Eun!
Where on earth did she go?
Someone might have called me,
but I even lost my phone. What do I do?
Wait, excuse me.
- May I please use your phone? - Sure, here.
Thank you.
Hello? I'm the owner of the phone.
Did anyone call by any chance?
Yes, Mr. Jeong.
Sorry? Who's here?
Ha Eun.
You're not a burden.
Don't think like that.
But you also hate me.
What? Gosh.
Why would I hate you?
You didn't accept the candy because you hate me.
Well, that was...
Hold on, Ha Eun.
All right.
Blow your nose. Here.
Yes, that's it. Good girl.
You should have some too.
- Me? - Yes.
My mom told me to always wait until my elders start eating first.
I forgot about it and just started eating. I'm sorry.
It's okay. I don't need to eat...
All right. I'll eat this.
- Ha Eun. - Mr. Get Out!
What happened?
Where did you find Ha Eun?
Ha Eun.
You're not a burden at all.
But that's what Grandma said to Mom.
She said your mom called me a burden.
That's...
In any case, you're not a burden.
- You're like my good luck charm. - "Good luck charm"?
That's right. You bring me good luck.
I'm your good luck charm.
Ha Eun, come here.
Why did you do that?
I looked everywhere for you!
I was so scared!
Why did you do such a thing? You silly brat.
Why did you do that? Why did you even think to do that?
You're a kid. I can't believe you packed up and left!
- Why did you do that? - That's enough, So Won.
Tell me. Why did you do that?
I was so worried about you. Why did you do such a thing?
I heard I'm a burden to you.
I heard you can't marry Mr. Get Out because of me.
What?
I think she overheard your conversation with Ms. Song.
Ha Eun.
I won't be happy if you can't marry Mr. Get Out because of me.
He even gave you a ring.
What if you can't marry him because of me?
Then you'll cry because you'll be sad.
Ha Eun, I'm sorry.
Mom is sorry.
Ha Eun.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
I didn't know you were worrying about such things.
Ha Eun, you're not a burden though.
I know that now. I'm your good luck charm, right?
Mr. Get Out told me.
Yes, that's right. You're my good luck charm.
Ha Eun, you see...
I can't live without you.
And I can't live without you, Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry too.
Were you not scared?
What if Mr. Get Out and my mom...
can't get married because I'm a burden to them?
Come in.
Sir.
I heard you found Ha Eun and looked after her.
Thank you so much.
Things could've gone very bad if you hadn't found her.
Thank you so much, sir.
Is she okay?
Yes, she's fine now.
I had no idea Ha Eun would worry about such things.
I'm such a bad mom.
If you were a bad mom,
she'd never even worry about such things.
She's very young, but she wants her mom to be happy.
It shows me that you've raised her with a lot of love.
When did she grow so much?
It breaks my heart,
but I'm fascinated at the same time...
to know that this little girl thought about such things.
I'm such a lucky man.
When we get married,
I'll become a dad to this beautiful girl.
It's like winning the lottery.
You're realizing that just now?
I'm sorry I'm late.
So Won, why did Ha Eun pack up and leave?
Well,
I think she overheard my conversation with my mom.
She thought the chairman doesn't approve of me because of her.
She felt like she was being a burden to me.
She is a burden.
My gosh.
Gosh, that kid is too clever.
Ha Eun is too mature.
I spanked her because I was so angry.
My heart is still racing.
Thank goodness you found her.
By the way, where did the chairman find her?
Thankfully, she was wandering around here.
He happened to run into her.
He even canceled the luncheon...
and looked after Ha Eun.
What? My father-in-law looked after Ha Eun?
Tae Seok loves kids.
You need to discipline your child better.
That little kid packed up and left?
Hey, Yeon Su.
Why don't you focus on your baby's prenatal education?
Don't stick your nose in someone else's business.
I envy you, So Won.
If I had a daughter like Ha Eun,
I'd be so happy.
Thank you so much again.
Thanks to you, Ha Eun could return home safe and sound.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
I'm glad that she's okay.
Yes.
I was touched...
by how much Ha Eun cares about her mom.
Yes, Ha Eun is such a sweet girl.
To So Won, Ha Eun is her reason for living.
And I feel the same way now.
Are you using your kid to marry Jae Hyuk?
What is it that you want to say?
You used Ha Eun to gain the chairman's sympathy.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
You're honestly unbelievable.
What mother would use her child...
for something like that?
Never mind. You'd probably do that.
- What? - You're pregnant now,
so try to be nice to others for a change.
What would your child learn from you?
How dare you.
My baby will be just fine, so teach your daughter properly.
I hope you won't abandon your baby again.
Hey.
I'll no longer hold my anger back.
I won't go easy on you anymore, Hwang Yeon Su.
A tooth for a tooth. You got that?
Choi So Won...
I was so surprised.
I can't believe that little girl thought about such things.
Ha Eun is very smart and thoughtful.
Even so...
I'm so impressed.
Maybe it's because she's emotionally scarred. I feel so bad.
Why do you feel bad?
You're such an amazing uncle.
I think you take better care of her...
than even her father would have.
My gosh. That little girl is really something.
She packed up and left so that her mother could get married?
How could a seven-year-old think that way?
There's no way she thought that herself.
I bet So Won orchestrated the whole thing.
That girl disgusts me.
Whether it was the kid or Choi So Won's doing,
I really can't stand them.
Choi Son Won...
She's doing whatever it takes to marry Jae Hyuk.
- Father, you're home. - You're back.
- Hi. - Yes, hi.
I heard you found Choi So Won's daughter on the street.
I heard you called that kid a burden when talking to her mother.
How could you say such a thing?
It's true though.
And you thought that too.
You're the one who disapproved of her because of that kid.
You should've told Mr. Jeong to take her to the police station.
Why take her to your office?
People will gossip.
Why take her to the police station when I know who she is?
That kid is very smart and thoughtful.
Thoughtful, my foot. She's cunning.
I agree, Father.
You don't even know her well. Watch what you say.
What if your dad...
changes his mind because of that kid?
No way. He was against their relationship because of that kid.
Ha Eun.
I'm truly happy that you're my daughter.
(Warming Effect Analysis)
We've finally figured out the golden ratio for the warming effect!
The N-tex 4 project is a success.
My gosh, really?
Well done, seriously.
I'm so impressed. You two are amazing.
My gosh.
A warming fabric? It's so awesome.
You rock. Seriously, this is so cool.
Ms. Hwang, what do you think?
It's great.
Yoon Jin, thank you so much for all your hard work.
I should thank you. I learned so much from you.
- Thank you. - No, I should thank you.
How sweet.
So Won, what's next? I'm excited to find out.
I do have something in mind.
What is it?
"Second skin"?
Fabric that resembles the human skin in terms of texture and temperature.
That's what I'd like to develop next.
Even the warming fabric is such a great accomplishment.
Fabric that resembles the human skin?
It sounds like you've had this ambitious goal for a long time.
Yes, but I had to put it aside for a while due to my circumstances.
Sir.
Noyu's technology team and support systems are great,
so I'd like to keep developing new fabrics here.
Would you allow me to do so?
Sir, Ms. Choi was hired on a temporary basis...
for this project, so...
If we can successfully develop more fabrics,
it'll be good for the company.
Okay, keep at it.
Thank you, sir.
You'll get a special bonus as well.
That's not necessary. I just did my job. That's all.
Don't turn it down.
We're giving it to you to encourage you to work even harder.
Well done.
Then I'll accept it, sir.
Thank you very much, sir.
You've managed to successfully develop the warming fabric.
Congratulations, So Won.
Thank you.
Developing new fabrics has been my father's long-cherished goal.
You're turning his dream into reality.
Stop flattering me. It's too much.
I'm so happy that such a beautiful, cute, competent woman...
is all mine.
Gosh, stop it.
I think my fake dad will become my real dad.
- For real? - Yes, for real.
How?
My mom and Mr. Get Out are getting married.
That means he'll actually become my dad.
Yes. Then the other kids can't make fun of you anymore.
Exactly. I've even met Mr. Get Out's dad.
He's so sweet.
My grandpa is sweet too.
I'm so happy.
Me too.
My gosh!
My two most important guests are here.
My VIP customers.
It's so warm.
- Right? Isn't it so warm? - Yes.
Tell everyone how amazing this bed is.
Okay.
My sweetheart, you have a knack for sales.
You kill me.
(Choi Ha Eun)
Mom.
Oh, what is this?
I got a bonus for successfully developing N-tex 4.
My gosh. Why are you giving me this though?
You look after Ha Eun for me and even cook for all of us.
Thanks to you, I could focus on work...
without having to worry about other things.
Gosh, this made my day.
Money's great, and I'm proud to have such a competent daughter.
Life's great!
My father complimented her too.
My gosh, that makes me so happy.
- Congratulations, So Won. - Thanks.
Mom, when are you and Mr. Get Out getting married?
I bragged to Seung Cheol that I'll have a real daddy soon.
You did? It'll happen soon.
Gosh, I'm so happy. I'm over the moon.
Our son, Jae Hyuk,
is choosing a difficult path again.
Honey, what would you do if you were me?
("Jewish Education")
Have a look.
I told you that I won't go on a blind date.
Just have a look.
She's a pediatrician, and her family is very wealthy.
I'm not interested.
I want you to get married after So Won gets hitched.
- What are you guys talking about? - His blind date.
- Is Ha Eun asleep? - Yes.
My gosh, she's gorgeous.
She sure is. And she's a doctor on top of that.
Her parents own a jewelry shop.
They even own a building in Gangnam.
Gosh, she's such a good catch. Hey, you should meet her.
I'm not interested. You two should go to bed.
I don't care what you say.
I've already arranged the blind date for tomorrow.
Mom, you can't do that without telling me.
If you don't show up, I'll get all the blame.
I'm not saying you should marry her.
Just meet her.
Ho Jin, grant me my wish. Please?
Yes, Mom's saying it's her wish. Just meet her, okay?
Okay, fine.
But I'm not going to see her again if I don't like her.
Okay, that's fine.
She's so beautiful.
- Isn't she? - Yes.
Ms. Ko?
Hello, Mr. Choi.
Hello, see you.
Have a seat. You're here for a blind date, right?
How did you know?
It's with me.
Sorry?
Ko Jun Yeong is my cousin.
She had to attend a seminar unexpectedly,
so I'm filling in.
You came here knowing that the blind date was with me?
Yes, I was so excited on my way here.
Don't you think we're meant to be?
I wonder how Ho Jin's blind date is going.
I'm sure it's going well. He's such a gentleman, you know.
I want both of you to get married this year...
so that I can just travel from now on.
You'll be lonely if both of us get married and move out.
Still, you guys should get married before it's too late.
It's not like I can live with you guys until you grow old.
Hi, Jae Hyuk.
Yes.
Right, okay.
All right.
What's going on?
He said his father invited me over for dinner.
He'll pick me up.
Really?
Gosh, it probably means he'll let you guys get married after all.
We don't know that yet.
Come on. It's obvious.
If his son marries you,
that means Noyu's fabric developer will become his daughter-in-law.
And Jae Hyuk can't live without you.
I'm telling you. No parents can win against their children.
I don't know, Mom. I'm so nervous right now.
Where did Mr. Choi go? It's the weekend.
He has a blind date. With the doctor I told you about.
I told him that he must meet her no matter what,
so he went.
I see.
So Won, I heard my brother invited you over.
Yes, I can't believe it.
Don't you think he'll now let them get married?
- Yes. - Gosh, I'm so happy.
So Won, make sure you look very nice today.
Yes, I'll help you look elegant and ladylike.
- It's okay. - Come on. Just leave it to me.
You have to look nice today.
I'm back.
Hey, why are you back so early?
Ms. Ko Jun Yeong didn't show up.
- What? - What?
What do you mean? She promised that she'd be there.
Someone else came.
What? Who?
- Who came? - Ms. Ko in the design team.
- What? - What?
What? Why did she send someone else? Who is that woman?
Apparently, Ko Jun Yeong is her cousin.
She filled in because Ko Jun Yeong had to attend a seminar.
My goodness.
It must be fate. What's she like?
If she works in Noyu's design team, she's a pretty good catch.
Ms. Song, she has a bad personality.
She does? Really?
So Won, you probably know her pretty well.
What?
Well, not really.
I know her well. She's so obnoxious...
and rude.
That's not good. So? Will you meet her again?
No, I won't.
Ms. Song. this won't work out.
Who knows if that woman...
actually had to attend a seminar or just didn't show up on purpose?
People should have some decency.
- How could she send her cousin? - You think so?
Don't overcook the meat.
And use sweet rice flour instead of starch for the braised seafood.
- It tastes cleaner that way. - Okay.
You're cooking up a feast. Who's this for?
How would I know?
Your dad kept telling me to prepare for an important guest.
Who could it be?
Maybe it's Assemblyman Jung.
What?
That's not good.
- We're here. - Yes, welcome.
Hello.
I brought plum wine and fruit preserve I made.
It's nothing, but I made them with all my heart.
Thank you.
Come on. Take it.
Yes, Father.
Honey, is she...
the guest you invited?
Yes.
I invited Ms. Choi.
What is going on?
Why did you invite her?
It's because of the new fabric she developed, right?
Then you could've met her at a restaurant.
- Why did you invite her over? - I...
invited her...
to give them...
my permission to get married.
(Bad Love)
- Hey! - What?
Can you really put up with the hammer witch?
Don't worry. Those things don't scare me at all anymore.
Have you lost your mind? How could we become sisters-in-law?
I also hate the idea of living with you as family.
I'll tell them the truth.
How did you know?
Talking isn't enough to get through to them.
They need to suffer to learn their lesson.
I heard the chairman gave them permission to get married.
If only I had never hit Jae Hyuk with my car that day...
What do you mean?
So you were the one that caused Jae Hyuk's injury?
