(Episode 60)
Don't.
Just go back to the office.
Don't do this, please.
Please. Let me deal with this, Dong Hee.
If you care for me even just a little bit, come with me.
Dong Hee.
Please just come with me.
I beg you.
Please, let's go. Okay?
What are you two doing here?
Hello, Director Kang.
Can't you see that everyone is watching?
Talk elsewhere. Don't do this here.
Go!
I apologize, Director Kang.
Dad, I need you to sign off on this.
I'll do it later. Just leave it on my desk.
Okay.
By the way,
what did Dong Hee say?
Did she say she'd break up with Cha Yeol?
She'll have to.
Dad, are you not going to let them get married?
Of course, I won't.
I get that they love each other, but I can't let him marry a single mother.
I agree.
Anyway, I should get back to my office.
How did you know I was there?
Mr. Park from the pattern room called asking for you.
Why did he call right then?
Why did you go there?
I told you that my father might call you.
I said to just tell me instead of meeting him.
I warned you that nothing good would come out of you meeting him.
Why did you have to go there and let him embarrass you like that?
You know that avoiding it won't solve the problem.
Besides, I didn't want to hide behind you like a coward.
Why can't you hide?
I'd rather die than let you go through something like that.
So can't you just hide, for my sake?
I'm not sure how much of the conversation you overheard,
but he wasn't as harsh on me as I had expected,
so I'm not really hurt.
Is your heart made of steel?
How could you not be hurt after hearing something like that?
Well, I guess my heart is made of steel indeed.
What?
So don't be angry.
If you keep being like this, I'll feel so sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I should be the one apologizing to you.
Then let's stop being sorry and just let it go.
Okay?
I really didn't want you to have to go through something like this.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really okay, so stop saying sorry.
Okay?
All right.
Dong Hee, what happened?
Didn't you say you were stepping out to meet Mr. Park in the pattern room?
Oh, that...
I'm sorry. I should go see him now.
What's going on?
I should go to work.
What's this?
My gosh. That kid must've left it here.
(Seo Him Chan)
"Seo Him Chan?"
My goodness. His surname is Seo too.
This and...
Oh, there you are.
My gosh.
Here.
That kid left it at my place yesterday.
We were looking for this. Thank you.
No problem.
I have to say, I have big respect for you.
Why? What did I do?
You lost your son,
but you're staying so strong.
You have my respect.
I lost my son? What do you mean?
My son is alive and well.
What do you mean?
Yesterday, you told me...
that the boy's father died in a car accident.
I thought that boy's father was your son. Am I wrong?
Oh, that's why you were confused. No.
He's my nephew, not my son.
What? Your nephew? Then that boy is...
He's my nephew's son.
Why are you so surprised?
No, I'm not surprised.
I have to go. Bye.
What?
She's been acting strange since yesterday.
(Order to Go)
(Hana Dumplings)
You're here.
Hey, what's wrong?
Did something happen on your way here?
Hyun Seok, is Jung Eun in her room now?
No. She left earlier to go sign her drama production contract.
Why? Do you need to talk to Jung Eun about something?
Then why don't you call her?
No, it's okay. I don't need to call her.
Seriously though, what's wrong?
You look so pale right now.
What? No. It's nothing.
Hyun Seok, I can't work today. I'm going home.
Hey, Hye Ran. Bang Hye Ran!
My goodness. What is going on?
Could you pour me a cup too?
Sure thing, Ms. Baek.
Here you go.
Thank you.
By the way,
did my father-in-law call you to his office earlier?
Oh... Yes.
What did he say?
Did he tell you to break up with Cha Yeol?
Yes, he did.
What did you say to that?
I couldn't say anything.
Really?
Dong Hee, is there anyone...
who can raise your son in your stead?
Sorry?
He might let you two get married...
if you didn't have to bring your son with you.
No, that is absurd.
I won't go anywhere without Him Chan.
So please don't say that again.
What do I do?
I think Him Chan really is Seung Ju's child.
What should I do?
Hi, what's up?
Seung Ju, we've got a big problem.
A big problem? What's going on?
I think I saw your son.
What?
It's nothing. Just do your work.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hold on a moment.
What do you mean? Explain in detail.
Right.
You had to make all this fuss and say that you saw my son...
just because a couple of things match?
Just a couple of things? Come on.
From the accident to the surname.
What is the probability of those things being exactly the same?
On top of that, he's nine, the same age as your child.
So? Did you confirm Jae Seok's name?
No!
I didn't ask because I was afraid it'd make me look even more suspicious.
Should I ask them now?
Are you crazy?
That's why I didn't ask them about it.
In any case, I don't want to jump to conclusions just based on this.
I don't even want to look into it,
so do not bring this up again.
Hey, but still... He might really be your son.
Aren't you curious?
No, I'm not.
I'm not curious at all,
so cut all ties with those people,
and don't go anywhere near them. Do you understand?
Why are you all quiet? Answer me. Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Then hang up.
This brat.
She really is heartless.
No. There is no way that he's my child.
I am sure that kid isn't my son.
Mr. Kim, can we pull over?
Here.
I'll eat it myself.
Hurry up and eat. My arms are getting tired.
Feed me one too.
Is it good?
So good.
Tell Director Kang to come to my office now.
Yes, sir.
(Chairman Kang In Kyu)
Come in.
I heard you asked for me.
When does Seo Dong Hee's internship contract end?
It'll end at the end of the month, which is in two weeks.
Why do you ask?
Then terminate her contract at the end of the month.
Is it because of Cha Yeol?
As they say, "Out of sight, out of mind."
Right.
I'll take care of it as you said.
(Hana Dumplings)
- Mr. Jang. - Yes.
I finally signed the contract.
Really?
My gosh. Congratulations, Jung Eun!
I owe it all to you, Mr. Jang.
Thank you, Mr. Jang!
What... Hold on, Jung Eun.
I'm just so excited right now.
Let's stay like this just for a moment.
But... Hold on.
I'm stepping out for lunch!
(Hana Dumplings)
My goodness. What are they doing?
Tae Pyung.
Hi, Dad.
What are you looking at?
What?
It's nothing.
You silly goose.
Wait.
Dad, why do you need to go in here?
I want to see Jung Eun, why else?
Auntie Jung Eun? Why do you need to see her?
She signed her first contract as a writer today. That's why.
But you know, Dad... You can call her and ask all about it.
- Call her? - That's right.
I mean, think about it. You're supposed to be working now.
What will Mr. Jang think if you show up here for a personal reason?
He'll think that you're slacking off, you know?
You think so?
Yes, I know so.
That's true. You're right.
I'll get back to work, then. You work hard too.
- Okay, you too! - Okay.
- See you. - See you.
Jung Eun, please...
Stop, please.
I'm sorry.
I was too excited. I did that without thinking.
Well, anyway... Congratulations again, Jung Eun.
Oh, no. I left the stove on.
Auntie Jung Eun.
Hey.
What were you doing, just now?
What? I wasn't doing anything.
Come on. I saw it with my own two eyes.
Don't play dumb.
You saw it?
Do you have a crush on Mr. Jang?
Yes.
My goodness. So? You want to date him?
Yes. You have to help me out, okay?
Yes, sure thing.
If Mom finds out, she'll be so excited that she might even faint.
Your dad will faint too.
Oh, right. I heard you signed your first contract as a writer.
Yes. That's right, Tae Pyung. Finally, I did it!
Congratulations, Auntie Jung Eun.
Right. Go tell Dad all about it.
He was curious and wanted to see you, but I made him go back to his office.
Okay.
Ja Young! I've got big news!
It's been a while, Tae Pyung.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Gosh, this is nuts. Why do you keep coming here?
I told you numerous times that I didn't want to see you anymore.
Don't be like this. Just go on ten dates with me.
Why should I go on ten dates with you?
If you still don't like me after ten dates, I'll give up.
Besides, you said you weren't even seeing anyone.
What do you mean he's not seeing anyone?
We're seeing each other.
Sorry? What do you mean?
Ja Young.
The truth is, we were married. We split up,
but we're considering getting back together.
So stop bothering Tae Pyung.
Please leave.
Tae Pyung, is this true?
Yes, it is. Of course, it's all true.
Then you should've told me!
What a waste of time.
I can't believe this.
Hey, Ja Young.
Did you really mean what you said just now?
No.
No?
You seemed to be in a pickle because of her.
I only said that to help you, so don't get the wrong idea.
Of course. I was wondering what had gotten into you.
Well, thanks anyway.
Why did I do that?
I don't even know.
Aren't you done for the day?
Yes, we should get going.
Are you and Ms. Baek going home together?
Yes.
Seung Ju, aren't you done for the day?
I am. I'll get going.
- Bye. - Bye.
See you tomorrow.
Let's have dinner together.
Today, I can't.
Auntie Jung Eun signed a contract. Everyone's telling me to come home early.
They're throwing a party for her.
Really?
Then can I come too?
You should go home early today.
You should be on your best behavior at a time like this.
Okay.
The same kind of accident.
And his surname is Seo too.
I really think he's your son.
On top of that, he's nine, the same age as your child.
Should we have dinner at a restaurant somewhere?
What?
What did you say?
What were you thinking about that you couldn't even hear me?
Nothing important.
I was just wondering what would happen with Cha Yeol and Dong Hee.
Dad told me to go ahead and terminate Dong Hee's internship contract,
so they sure won't have it easy.
Really?
Yes.
Let's eat out.
No, it's okay. Let's just go home.
Your parents are upset.
We should be good to them.
I'm really sorry...
that this is all happening right after we got married.
Don't be sorry. I'm a member of the family now.
Did anything happen at work today?
Like what?
I'm talking about Cha Yeol.
Did anything happen regarding his girlfriend?
Father told Sung Wook to terminate her internship contract.
Terminate her contract?
So we're firing her?
Yes.
That's not good.
Does Cha Yeol know about this?
Not yet, probably.
I only know about it because Sung Wook told me earlier.
Really?
Mom, don't make it so obvious.
I thought about it, and this is just wrong.
Why is it wrong?
What if it was me?
Would you be happy if I told you I wanted to marry a woman with a child?
You'd never want to marry someone like her unless you were crazy.
And I wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
I would teach that girl a serious lesson.
Exactly.
So try to understand why Dad is so against it.
That brat...
Hey, shouldn't you go upstairs too?
Yes, I should.
I'll get changed and help you make dinner.
So Cha Yeol doesn't know about it yet?
I owe it all to you, Mr. Jang.
Thank you, Mr. Jang!
What... Hold on, Jung Eun.
I'm just so excited right now.
Let's stay like this just for a moment.
Congratulations, Auntie Jung Eun!
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Thanks, guys.
Hurry up and blow out the candles.
Oh, okay.
My goodness. How many years did it take you?
Exactly ten years.
- Ten years? - Yes.
Great-aunt Jung Eun, is it that hard to become a writer?
Not always. Every case is different.
For me, it took a while.
But still, you did it.
You didn't give up and made this happen. That's what matters.
I agree.
Mom, should I become a writer too?
You said you wanted to be a lawyer.
I'll do both, a lawyer who is also a writer.
Just pick one. Don't be greedy.
I told you to bring Mr. Jang too. Why did you come alone?
That's right. Is he very busy?
Yes, I think so.
You're finally making your debut as a writer.
You know Mr. Jang made it happen, right?
Of course, I know.
I know he helped her, but she made it happen on her own.
No, she's right.
Without Mr. Jang's help, I wouldn't have been able to sign the contract.
Is that right?
Yes.
Then we could say that Mr. Jang saved you.
Not just your aunt.
Dong Hee and your dad too.
He helped everyone big-time.
Well, then... He should be our family.
Totally.
What are you saying, honey? That's not possible.
It's not impossible, Dad.
He and Auntie Jung Eun can get married.
What?
Stop talking nonsense.
I know that he helped us,
but how could you suggest that your aunt marry Mr. Jang?
Apologize to her at once!
It's okay, Jung Ho. He just said that because he was grateful.
Even so.
Tae Pyung, you'd better not say stuff like that again.
It'll keep eligible bachelors away from her. Do you understand?
Okay, I heard you.
You brat.
- Stop it! - I told you.
- Goodness. - Come on.
What's with you?
- You scared me. - Come on, it happens.
Hold on a second.
Yes, come in.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Anyway, what's up?
You didn't eat much at dinner.
Here, have this.
Oh, thank you.
It looks like...
you should just give up.
What do you mean?
Your father is being so stubborn. I don't think I can persuade him.
So don't make things get worse. I suggest you give up.
Why? Did Father say something?
You know, your father never lets personal issues affect work.
But now, he's thinking of firing Dong Hee because of you.
He seems determined.
Father is planning to fire Dong Hee?
You didn't know?
I thought you knew.
Yes.
Your father gave them the go-ahead to terminate her internship contract.
Because of you.
What?
Where is Father now? Is he in his study?
Why? Will you go take it up with him again?
Hey, Cha Yeol!
What's up? Can't you knock?
I heard you told them to terminate Dong Hee's contract.
Is it true?
Yes. What about it?
Be honest with me.
Is it because of me?
Don't you know the answer already?
Promise me that you'll break up with her,
and I might reconsider the decision.
Father!
Why must you make me do this?
It's not like I want to go against my principles and do something like this.
If you must do this...
I'll quit too.
What did you say?
The day her contract is terminated,
I'll leave the company too.
Are you saying...
you'll cut all ties with me? Is that it?
Father!
Then move out.
I don't need a son like you. Move out at once!
(Bravo, My Life)
I don't have anyone who can babysit him.
- I'll babysit Him Chan. - You?
Him Chan, who else do you live with?
What's your mom's name?
May I ask why you decided not to renew my contract?
I'm going to ask you one more time.
Leave Cha Yeol so he can come back to where he belongs.
Dong Hee, how about we move to the US together?
