Actually...
I met the lady yesterday and today.
What? Then why didn't you tell me?
She asked me not to tell anyone that I had met her.
What?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Mom, are you very angry because I didn't tell you...
that I had met the lady?
No. It's not like you lied to me intentionally.
Then won't you scold me?
No, I won't.
Thank you, Mom.
And I want you never to see her again.
Why?
Well... Because you shouldn't bother her.
That's why.
But she doesn't feel bothered by me, Mom.
How do you know that?
She told me that she likes me.
Did she really tell you that? That she likes you?
Yes.
Oh, I see.
But still, you should never see her again. Do you understand?
Okay. I won't see her again if that's what you want.
By the way, Mom, it's about Him Chan.
What about him?
I guess he takes after me.
I told you that he looked like you before.
But why are you bringing that up?
Did someone say anything about it?
The lady at the snack bar said she thought I was Him Chan's mother.
Really?
Isn't that funny?
It's not funny.
It's undeniable that you gave birth to Him Chan.
"Undeniable?"
Looking back now,
I think I should've raised Him Chan instead of letting you send him away.
Had I done that, you and I would be...
living happily with Him Chan.
Do you like Him Chan too?
Of course, I like him.
I've never seen any child as cute and lovely as Him Chan.
I agree.
But what's the point of saying things like this after all that's happened?
Cheers.
Didn't Hye Ran tease you again?
I think you made your point clearly.
She didn't say anything else.
I'm glad I stopped by.
Or else, she would've teased you all day long.
Probably. She's quite playful.
By the way, Jung Eun, what made you so bold?
You call me "honey" without hesitating or feeling shy.
Didn't you notice during our honeymoon...
that people thought we were having an affair?
Oh, really?
Yes.
Because I kept calling you "Mr. Jang,"
they all looked at us as if we were in an inappropriate relationship.
So I thought I should do something about it.
I thought to myself, "They say that life is a play."
"Let's think I'm acting in a play and say it out loud."
It was unexpectedly easy.
"Life is a play?"
That makes sense.
That thought made me think of life a lot easier.
There's no reason to be so proud or stubborn.
I realized that all I had to do was do my best...
to play my role as Jang Hyun Seok's lovely wife.
Then I should do my best...
to play my role as Kim Jung Eun's reliable husband.
That's right. Then we'll be the main protagonists...
of a story that ends happily ever after.
If we can do that, our lives will be successful.
I know, right?
She doesn't feel bothered by me, Mom.
She told me that she likes me.
Seung Ju?
Seung Ju has been seeing Him Chan without letting you know?
Yes, and she told Him Chan not to tell me about it.
She exchanged phone numbers with Him Chan too.
Why on earth is she acting like this suddenly?
I don't know.
She never even glanced at Him Chan.
I have no idea why she's being like this suddenly.
Shall I see her?
You will meet her?
No, I'll meet her to ask her directly.
Will you be okay?
Of course.
(Seo Dong Hee)
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please leave a message...
Why? Didn't she pick up?
No.
Him Chan.
Hello.
You enjoyed pork cutlets so much yesterday,
so I waited for you so that I can buy you some again.
But I can't see you anymore.
What do you mean by that?
Why can't you see me anymore?
My mom told me not to see you again.
Did you tell your mother that we met?
I had no choice because she figured it out.
I'm sorry.
I see.
It is what it is.
Will you not see me again...
because your mother told you so?
No, I won't. I promised my mom I won't.
I see.
Seo Him Chan.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Who is this lady?
Is she your mother?
This lady is not Him Chan's mother.
Don't you remember? We've met Him Chan's mother before.
Oh, right.
Then who is this lady?
I'm a friend of Him Chan's.
Shall I buy you guys something delicious?
- Really? - Sounds great!
What will you buy us?
Guys, stop it.
It's okay, Him Chan.
What do you want to eat?
I want pizza.
- I want fried chicken. - I want both.
Okay. Then let's go somewhere to eat fried chicken and pizza.
- Oh, yes! - I'm excited.
Him Chan, why are you hesitating?
Let's get going, ma'am.
Okay.
Oh, my.
Welcome, Director Park.
But what brings you to my house?
I came by to say hello.
And I have something to discuss with you.
Oh, I see. Please come and sit down.
Yes.
I heard from Director Heo a few days ago...
that you were trying to hire a new senior manager for the design team.
Did Director Heo say that?
Why? Isn't it true?
No, it's not true, sir.
He plays golf during the daytime...
and goes to parties at night drinking like a sailor.
There's no way he's trying to hire a new senior manager.
What? Does Director Heo really do that?
Besides, Internal Affairs is...
investigating him for embezzlement.
Why did you come back here?
What do you mean?
I had to see you...
so that I could feel at ease.
Goodness, you.
You should stop being obsessed with me.
I'm going to do so. So don't worry.
I feel like it's all my fault that you ended up like this.
I regret it greatly.
You don't have to feel that way.
I'm responsible for what happened because I should've known better.
It's almost over.
Hang in there just a little longer.
Don't worry. I'm doing better than ever.
How are things between you and Dad?
What do you think?
I'm simply thankful that he decided not to divorce me.
What about Cha Yeol? Are things still awkward between you two?
That brat will never open his heart to me.
We can't blame him.
We're to blame the most.
I thought about it being locked up in here.
I could imagine how lonely Cha Yeol had been.
I feel even worse about it.
You're not the only one who thinks that way.
I already feel bad. Don't add to it.
I know I haven't been good to him,
but I'll make it up to him from now on.
I guess you've finally matured.
What?
I think I made you upset, Him Chan.
Why?
You've been looking a little upset.
Am I wrong?
Actually, that's true.
It's because I broke the promise I made to my mom.
You mean, the promise not to see me again?
Yes.
But do you know why your mother doesn't want you to see me?
No, I don't know that.
Do you know...
why my mom won't let me see you?
Yes, I know.
Why won't my mom let me see you?
The thing is...
The reason is...
Seo Him Chan.
What are you doing here?
Hye Na.
Who is this lady?
Nobody.
Go on in, Him Chan. I'll get going.
Okay. Goodbye.
Bye.
Let's go in.
Okay, Hye Na.
- I'm home. - I'm home.
Come on in. You must be hungry.
Go wash your hands. Your grandma made deep-fried sweet potatoes.
That sounds delicious.
I'm okay.
But...
What's with him?
I don't know.
Did something happen at school?
I don't know that,
but I saw him talking to a lady in front of our house.
What?
A lady?
What lady?
I don't know that.
Baek Seung Ju.
Were you going to tell Him Chan that you're his biological mom?
No, you weren't, right?
That wasn't the case, right?
Right.
That wasn't my intention.
Never.
Hello?
It's me, Seo Dong Hee.
I know. What's up?
Can I see you this evening?
Sure. When and where should we meet up?
Whom did you say you met?
The lady who used to work with my mom.
Isn't the lady's name Baek Seung Ju?
Yes, it is. Do you know the lady too, Great-aunt Myung Sook?
What?
Well... Yes, a little.
But why did you meet her?
No reason. But I won't see her again.
My mom told me not to see her again.
- See you guys tomorrow. - See you.
What shall we have for dinner today?
Let's eat whatever you want, Yu Jung.
Let's go.
Are you worried about meeting Seung Ju?
A little bit.
Do you want me to go with you?
No, I'll go alone.
I don't want to do anything that might provoke her.
Would it?
It could, I guess.
Where are you going at such a late hour?
To meet Seo Dong Hee.
Why suddenly?
I don't know. She asked me to see her.
Why does she want to see you?
Did she find out that you met Him Chan?
What is she going to do?
I'll get going.
Hey, wait.
My gosh. She stayed out of trouble for a while.
What is she up to now?
You're early.
You're here.
Have you been well?
I've been doing well as you can see.
What about Cha Yeol?
Has he woken up?
Yes, he has. And he returned to work.
So did I.
I see.
Why did you ask me to see you?
Don't tell me...
you don't know why I asked you to see me.
Why? Because I met Him Chan?
So you know.
Why shouldn't I see him?
What did you say?
Why shouldn't I see him?
Seriously, don't you know?
No, I don't know.
It's because you have no right to do so.
What makes you think I have no right to do so?
I mean, I'm Him Chan's mother.
Hey, Ms. Baek Seung Ju.
You know that I gave birth to Him Chan.
Giving birth doesn't make you a mother.
You abandoned him because you didn't want to raise him.
Even though I abandoned him,
isn't it undeniable that I gave birth to him?
Are you insane?
No, not at all.
I'm perfectly sane.
My head has never been clearer.
I won't say much.
Never see Him Chan again.
Why won't you answer me?
Will you keep seeing him?
Yes, I'll see him whenever I want to.
Ms. Baek Seung Ju.
But I heard you had told him not to see me again.
How did you know that?
Did you see him again today?
Yes.
Why are you doing this?
You never cared about him.
Then why do you want to see him after all these years?
I don't know.
I guess I'm drawn to him because he's my blood.
What?
Anyway,
I'll see Him Chan whenever I want to see him.
Don't tell him not to see me.
No. I will never let the two of you see each other again.
Then I might do something.
What do you mean by that?
What will you do?
I'll leave that to your imagination.
Now then...
Ms. Baek.
Dong Hee.
Hey, Tae Pyung.
What were you pondering on?
You couldn't hear me when I called you.
Did you?
Is everything okay with you?
What?
She must have lost her mind.
How could she say such a thing to you?
By the way, what did she mean by saying she might do something?
What is she going to do?
Gosh. Can't you figure it out, Dad?
Are you saying you know what that means?
Do you think she'll tell Him Chan that she's his biological mother?
Ja Young.
What else could she do?
Would she kidnap Him Chan or what?
She knows that it's what Dong Hee is most afraid of.
So she's using it to threaten Dong Hee.
But she's his mother.
She wouldn't do such a horrible thing.
She's more than capable of doing so.
She would do even worse things...
in order to get what she wants.
What should I do now?
I mean, I can't let her see Him Chan...
just as she wants.
Couldn't letting her see him also be a way?
If you make her promise never to tell him that she's his biological mother.
I don't think that's such a good idea.
Right? I agree with you.
Something bad might happen if she keeps seeing him.
Dong Hee, what do you think?
I'm on the same page as you and Uncle Jung Ho.
I know that it's not ideal,
but you don't have a better idea either.
What if she actually tells him the truth?
It'd be better if you let her see him as Ja Young suggested.
Mom, you're home.
Yes.
Were you reading a book?
Yes. Mom, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
I met the lady again today.
Why? I told you not to see her again.
I was going to refuse to go with her,
but she told my friends she would treat them to a meal.
I had no choice.
Really?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Don't worry about it. You had no choice.
It's okay.
Then can I keep seeing her?
Do you want to keep seeing her?
I'm not sure about it.
Why aren't you sure about it?
I like spending time with her,
but you hate it.
That's why I'm not sure about it.
Oh, I see. That's why?
By the way, Mom, why do you hate the lady?
I don't hate her. It's not like that.
Then will you keep seeing Him Chan?
Why shouldn't I?
Hey, Baek Seung Ju. You can't do that if you have a conscience.
You said it yourself.
That it's undeniable that I gave birth to Him Chan.
I think so too.
It's undeniable that I'm his biological mother.
So I'll keep seeing him.
You must be completely out of your mind.
Besides, do you think Dong Hee will let you keep seeing him?
She'll do everything she can to stop you from seeing him.
Then I'll see him by any means necessary.
"By any means necessary..."
Don't tell me you'll threaten Dong Hee...
saying you'll tell Him Chan that you're his biological mother as you did before.
I'll go to my room if you're done talking.
Hey.
How can you do that to your own son?
I can't believe her.
Really? Did Seung Ju really say that?
Yes.
What could be her intention? Why did she say such a thing?
Do you think she'll do that as Tae Pyung said?
Seung Ju can be cruel and spiteful,
but she wouldn't do that to Him Chan.
Right? She won't go that far.
She won't.
But still, I can't stop worrying.
I have an idea.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go on a bike ride with Him Chan.
It'll cheer you up. What do you say?
Will you be okay?
Yes, I'll be fine.
I'll pick you up tomorrow. Get ready.
Okay. Thank you for being considerate.
Don't say that. Of course, I should care.
Then don't worry about anything tonight and rest up.
See you tomorrow, Dong Hee.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
What are you doing? Are you going on a picnic or something?
Yes, I want to get some fresh air.
Alone?
No.
Then with whom?
Done.
You can tag along if you want to.
What is she talking about?
(Senior Manager Baek Seung Ju)
Why are you calling me?
I want to take Him Chan on an outing.
So send him to me.
Are you completely out of your mind?
I'm hanging up.
Who is it?
In a minute.
Who might you be?
I'm here to see Ms. Seo Dong Hee.
Dong Hee?
Dong Hee, someone came to see you.
Someone came to see Dong Hee?
Someone came to see me?
I'm here, Dong Hee.
The pretty lady is here.
Have you been well, Him Chan?
(Bravo, My Life)
What right do you have to stop me from seeing my son?
How brazen are you to do something like this?
Do you know where your daughter went today?
She came to our house.
And she didn't seem ashamed at all.
When I decided to abandon Him Chan,
you should've stopped me no matter what!
Only once a week.
Don't ask for more, Ms. Baek.
