If they say they'll never see each other again,
that means I will have no in-laws.
I was really happy that I have a mother-in-law at last.
You know we can't let things go this way.
Of course not.
But...
I told Sang Baek to talk to him.
But I don't think Sang Gu is answering Sang Baek's calls.
Jong Hwa says he wouldn't even budge until Sang Gu apologizes first.
Mother.
The reason Sang Gu's so mad is that Father said he'll sell his house.
If you keep that house, it will increase in its value so much.
But he said he'll sell the house and caused all this commotion.
Do you have any idea why he's trying to sell it?
By any chance,
is it really because you need that money?
Not at all.
I never even heard about this. I had no idea.
I wasn't even interested in his house.
I asked him why he's selling it, but he won't tell me why.
Anyway, will Sang Gu feel better...
as long as Jong Hwa promises he won't sell that house?
Will that solve the problem?
I think that's the main issue here.
So,
do you think you can convince him?
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 18)
Are you guys still here?
It's fine to skip a meal once in a while.
It's becoming a habit.
He wouldn't eat unless I force him.
He needs to stop doing that.
Choi Yi Jae.
All the food here is for you.
You will be hungry later, for sure.
I know you're just stubborn.
You must eat today, okay?
Yi Jae, why don't you try just one bite?
I have a meeting with the marketing directors at the bookstore,
so I'll get going first.
- Good morning. - Hi.
She's here. See you later.
Bye.
You're here.
I'm sorry I'm late. I had a terrible stomachache.
That's all right,
but will you be able to take care of Yi Jae today?
Yi Jae is such a quiet boy.
All he does after he gets back from cram school is stay in his room.
I hope it's okay if I just rest in the meantime.
I don't think I can do the cleaning today.
Sure. Get some rest.
By the way, Yi Jae still hasn't eaten yet.
Again?
Kids do that.
Starving is like a weapon to them.
I'll try feeding him.
You should go to work.
Okay.
Sol, I'm here!
Mom!
Isn't Grandma supposed to come today?
Grandma is busy, so I came instead.
You love it, right? I'm sure you do.
Yi Jae, didn't your sitter come yet?
- Hello. - Hi.
Yi Jae, let's go.
Okay.
Are you feeling sick?
My stomach hasn't been well since this morning.
Really? Oh, no.
You should go to the hospital then.
Sol and I will take Yi Jae home.
It's fine. It's my job.
We live in the same building anyway.
We're friends with Yi Jae's dad, so don't worry.
Please go to the hospital. What if you have enteritis?
I probably should do that. I don't think I can bear it any longer.
I'll call Yi Jae's dad. I'd appreciate it if you could take him with you.
Yi Jae, I'm sorry.
Please go home with Ms. Han for today.
Thank you.
Bye.
Yi Jae, you're going to hang out with Sol and me until your dad comes home.
Is there something you want to do?
I don't think he wants to talk. Stop trying to start a conversation.
I'm sure he'll talk if he wants to.
Right? He should speak when he wants to.
I got it.
By the way,
although you can't talk, you can eat, right?
Of course, you can still eat.
Yi Jae, do you like tteokbokki?
Let's go!
Here.
It's not spicy. Sol has it like this too.
It's not spicy. My mom and I eat here every day.
Not every day, but pretty often.
Here.
Do you not want to eat, either?
It's good, isn't it? Isn't it the best tteokbokki you ever had?
I can tell from his face he likes it.
- Mom, give him more. - Sure. I'll take that.
Let's try this now.
Here. Try it.
Let me eat some too.
This place is good, indeed.
He's eating on his own now.
Sol, wait until I catch you!
You're so fast!
Catch me if you can!
I'm a monster!
I give up.
Oh, gosh.
Are you really not going to join us?
You must feel full after eating so much tteokbokki.
I know we look childish.
I think it's childish too,
but my mom said all fun things are childish.
Never mind if you don't want to play with us.
That's level two.
That's it for level 2. Here comes level 3.
You're flying!
Push hard. Push harder.
Harder? Do you want to reach the moon?
Okay, then. I got you.
Fine. Here comes level four.
Level four for Yi Jae as well!
Mom, he's smiling.
I've never seen his smile before.
Yi Jae, it's fun, right?
Everyone smiles when they are on a swing.
Should we make it level five now?
Yes!
Sounds good. Here comes level five!
- Rock-paper-scissors. Take one back. - Rock-paper-scissors. Take one back.
- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.
I lost again!
Take one back. I won.
Oh, yes! Sol, grab your nose and turn five times.
Why do you keep winning?
Do it now. Grab your nose and turn five times.
Yi Jae, have you played this before?
Please beat my mom for me!
I told you it's a super old game.
My friends don't know what it is.
Since I'm old, it's fun for me.
Do the penalty already!
Set. Go.
One, two, three, four, five.
I feel dizzy.
She lost again.
Your dad must be here.
- Let's go, Yi Jae. - Let's go.
All right.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
The parking lot was full, so I had to drive far to park.
You didn't have to run.
Thank you for taking care of Yi Jae. I won't let this happen again.
Don't say that. We had a lot of fun.
Right, Yi Jae?
We had a lot of fun just now.
I see. Yi Jae, let's go. Come.
- Goodbye, Yi Jae. Here's his bag. - Thanks.
Say bye.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Bye. - See you, Yi Jae.
Come on.
You didn't eat dinner yet, right? I'll make it for you soon.
I tried to come earlier.
I'm sorry.
Yi Jae!
Yi Jae, let me see.
Yi Jae!
- Hello. - Sorry.
Goodbye.
What's going on? Is Yi Jae ill?
Yes. Did Yi Jae eat anything today?
He didn't eat much for dinner, but he threw everything up.
Really? He didn't eat dinner at our place either.
We had some tteokbokki outside earlier. Did he have too much?
If you give him that kind of stuff...
I guess you could.
He hardly had any food at restaurants these days.
Anyway, I understand.
What do we do? It must be my fault.
He seems really sick. What do we do?
Are you and Sol okay?
Yes. We're fine, but...
It's okay. He'll be fine.
Let's not worry too much, Ji Wan.
- I'm going ahead. - What?
Ji Wan!
It's okay, Yi Jae. It's okay.
I'm taking you to the hospital.
Hang in there.
It's going to be okay.
All right.
They're on their way to the hospital.
Mr. Hyun will call me once Yi Jae goes into treatment.
He'll be all right.
I just wanted to share what we were having.
I didn't think this would happen.
I feel terrible.
He'll be fine.
Why did I have to give him tteokbokki?
It's okay.
I can't accept it.
School, home, library, and cram school. That was all you had.
What...
What on earth happened to you?
I need to know.
I just...
I just ended up seeing him.
Last January,
I was hanging out with Ji Yoon and Jae Hee,
and I met him at a cafe.
He asked for my number, so I gave it to him.
He called me, so I went to see him.
I just ended up liking him.
We were dating,
and he wanted to watch a movie at his place,
so we did and...
And what?
Did you drink?
Did he give you alcohol?
No, Mom. He's a good guy.
He listens to his mom better than I listen to you.
It just happened.
It was in October.
I didn't have my period up until last month.
I did a test, just in case, and...
October?
It's been that long?
Right. I remember.
You said the cram school had special lectures...
and kept coming home late.
So it was then.
You lied to me and practically lived at his place!
It's not like that!
It was one time. Just that once.
Anyway,
I went to the hospital to make sure,
and I told him I was pregnant,
but he said it'd got nothing to do with him,
telling me to take care of it, and ran away like a coward.
That jerk!
So I dumped him, Mom.
I said I'll never forgive the jerk.
I'm never going to see him again.
So what I'm saying is,
he has nothing to do with it,
and it's my baby.
Mom.
A good guy?
Would a good guy ruin my daughter's life and run away?
They both made a mistake, but he wants to live a nice life?
His belly's not the one growing, is that it?
No, you won't.
I'm not going to let that happen.
Grandma!
Grandma.
Why are you back?
The number you gave me last time wasn't for the lottery.
Was it the day Min Ah's baby will be born?
Did you find out already?
I was hoping it wasn't true.
Twenty, twenty-one... That was 2021.
Seven, eight... That was the eighth of July.
Nineteen means...
It's a profound secret.
I told you to keep it to yourself.
I need to put in a lot more effort...
so that my great-grandchild can be born safely.
I see.
Then,
give me the lottery numbers for real this time.
It's only fair!
A child is having a baby. It's not cheap to raise a baby!
We need to feed and clothe it, and there are so many things to teach it!
What?
Grandma!
Pick a number for me!
Grandma!
I'm going to destroy him!
Is someone else here?
That punk.
The one that ruined Min Ah's life.
I'm going to destroy him.
Find out who he is and what kind of person he is.
Bring him to me.
Hello.
How is Yi Jae?
Is he all right?
Yes.
It was viral enteritis.
He'll be better after a few days' rest.
I shouldn't have given him tteokbokki.
I'm really sorry.
No.
You and Sol shared it with him, but you two are fine.
It's not food poisoning.
We think he got it from his babysitter.
I see.
Well,
I'm sorry...
about earlier.
What?
Don't be.
Your son got sick. Of course, you would get mad.
If Sol got sick, I would've...
Anyway, I'll be more careful.
Bye.
Thank you for driving us.
No worries.
That was quite a surprise.
Ji Wan, I don't think I can raise a child.
He's not even my kid, and I got so scared.
Right, then that means your sitter will be away for a few days.
What will you do with Yi Jae?
I'll stay with him.
I'll change some things around so I can work from home.
All right.
I'm going to bed. Get some rest.
Jong Hwa.
Are you going to cut ties with your son like this?
What are you going to do about Sang Gu?
I told you.
I'm not going to see him until he comes begging on his knees.
All right.
Then, tell me the reason for this, at least.
I thought you'd keep or rent out the house you used to live in,
but you're selling it.
Sang Gu says that the price will soar if you just keep it.
I don't care if it does.
Why are you adding to this? It's my house, and I want to sell it.
Jong Hwa.
I wasn't mad at you.
I just...
don't like that house.
It's more of a burden than a house.
What are you talking about?
You lived there for a long time.
I did. I lived there for too long.
I first rented the house.
Then it became the first house I bought in my entire life.
Mo Ran.
Although I lived there for a long time,
I have no fond memories of that house.
My wife passed away in that house,
and my mother passed away within a few years too.
I just lived there because it was the home I was living in.
My children were born there and grew up there, so I kept it.
But it wasn't a place of affection for me.
My kids grew up and left the house,
and I spend all those years in that empty house.
I don't want to go back to that, ever.
I'm sorry. I didn't know that's how you felt.
I'm so sorry.
So this place is my only home where I live with you.
I want to sell that place off quickly.
All right. I understand what you mean.
But Jong Hwa,
hold on.
For now,
I think it's better for us to push it back.
But I explained everything to you.
I know that,
but the home would be meaningful for the children too.
It might be a burden to you,
but it might be a place with good memories for your kids who grew up there.
I don't think it's something that you should decide on your own.
Don't you agree?
That's not why they don't want me to sell the house.
They're just greedy...
Did you listen to every detail of their account of the story?
You don't know everything about them.
Also,
this is your home now.
That's right. That won't change.
So, what's the rush?
If you're going to sell it,
sell it a bit later.
All right?
Let's do that.
Good morning.
Are you going out already?
I have to go to the site. You should go and eat.
See you.
All right.
You don't need to come out.
What? I'm trying.
Oh, no.
Oh, my gosh! Da Bal!
- Did you get burned? - Give that to me.
What were you doing here alone?
I'm okay. Don't come here. You'll get hurt.
You clumsy fool! What were you trying to do when you break everything you touch!
Go and quickly rinse your feet in cold water.
It's gruel. Were you trying to give it to Yi Jae?
Yes. I was going to make him this since he won't be able to have rice.
I was going to do it anyway!
- Hurry up and go to the bathroom. Hurry! - You should go.
- You should go and rinse it. - Geez.
Are you sure you're not hurt? Seriously.
I think Da Bal feels terrible.
She got up at dawn to make a rice gruel,
but she couldn't bring herself here because she felt guilty.
It's really okay.
Tell her not to worry about it.
I did.
She'd only relax once Yi Jae gets better.
How's Yi Jae doing?
He's gotten a lot better.
I'm glad.
Are you all right, though?
You must've stayed up. You look awful.
I'm fine.
But I'm going to stay by Yi Jae's side for a few days.
Right. Don't worry about work.
I'll call you when there's something urgent.
Why did you get up so early...
What are you doing here? Did you see me in this?
I didn't see anything. You're fully covered up.
- See you later, Ji Wan. - Bye.
Why would you come here again?
- Geez! - For goodness' sake!
Why would you come to someone's house so early?
Geez, it's not even his house.
I'm so incompatible with him. Even the timing is wrong.
What does she mean covered up? I'm in my underwear. How embarrassing!
I told you to wear pajamas when you sleep.
You know I have a high body temperature.
I have a cold shower, even in the middle of the winter.
This is so embarrassing!
It's me.
It's not severe.
We've been to the emergency room, and it's early enteritis,
so he just needs to rest a few days.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't call you.
It was wrong to do that.
If you're that concerned, you should come and see him!
If you feel uncomfortable seeing me,
I could stay outside for a while, and you could see him then.
He always waits for your call!
He wants to call you first, but he holds it in until he can't anymore.
Only then would he ask me.
All right. I'll talk to you later.
Yi Jae.
You can call Mom if you want.
I'm not trying to tell you off.
You called...
because you were sick and missed Mom.
It's all right.
Dad, I want food.
Hey, you should eat later.
Why? I'm starving.
Mom, why are you going to work so early?
Are you going early to do the rounds?
Aren't you going to give me my meal?
- Honey, calm down. - Oh, my goodness.
I'm going to kill...
Just don't talk to her.
Don't even try talking to her. I don't think she's our daughter.
She must be a coppersmith's daughter. Look how brazen-faced she is!
I'll deal with her.
I've developed a tolerance toward her brazen behavior.
You told me to look into it.
I'll ask her who he is and listen to what she says.
You'll get sick.
If you get sick in this state, we'll perish.
You remember Lamaze breathing, right?
You did it when you were giving birth.
Breathe out.
For goodness' sake!
That's it. You're giving birth.
Seriously!
