(Episode 68)
You're Ms. Seo Dong Hee, right?
Yes. But who are you?
Is this boy your child?
What are you doing now?
Mom.
His name is Seo Him Chan, right?
Him Chan, go back inside.
Now.
Okay, Mom.
What are you doing?
I asked what you all are doing here!
I heard that you had adopted your nephew. Is it true?
What did you say?
Some strange people are out front, harassing my mom.
Strange people? Who are they?
I don't know that.
Tae Pyung, let's go out and see what's going on.
Yes, Dad.
You stay here with Him Chan, okay?
Be careful.
The boy who came out with you is actually your nephew, right?
No.
Didn't you adopt your late brother's child?
What's going on, Dong Hee?
Uncle Jung Ho.
Who are you?
Then we'll visit you again some other time.
Let's get going.
What are you doing?
Hey, which company are you from?
Hey!
Dong Hee. What's wrong?
- Dong Hee. - Dong Hee.
Are you all right?
- My goodness. - What was that about?
How did it go?
Did she seem frightened?
Of course, she was frightened.
Wait just a little bit. She'll say she'll leave Korea soon.
Good job.
You didn't reveal your identity, right?
Of course, I didn't.
What are you going to say to my mother-in-law?
She must be waiting for your article to be published.
I'll take care of it, so don't worry.
When can I receive the money you promised?
The money will be ready very soon.
I'll call you as soon as it's ready.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hasn't Dong Hee come in yet?
Exactly. She's never late.
I'm surprised.
Is she slacking off now that she's marrying into the CEO's family?
Ms. Kim.
I was just joking.
Is my mom okay, Great-aunt Myung Sook?
Will she be okay?
Yes, she'll be all right since she took the medicine.
Let's leave her alone so that she can sleep, okay?
- Okay. - Good boy.
(Kang Cha Yeol)
Hello?
Isn't this Seo Dong Hee's phone?
It's me, Dong Hee's aunt.
Oh, hello.
But why are you answering Dong Hee's phone?
Ms. Baek, I'll take a half day off.
Is everything okay?
Something came up with Dong Hee.
I'll get going now.
What on earth happened to Dong Hee?
He looked pale.
Indeed.
- I'm here. - Hi.
How's Dong Hee? Where is she?
She's sleeping in her room.
Mr. Kang, my mom is sick.
I know, Him Chan.
I'll go upstairs to check on her. Stop crying.
May I go upstairs?
Of course. Go on now.
Him Chan, it's okay. Don't cry.
Cha Yeol.
Are you okay, Dong Hee?
Are you all right?
What should I do now?
Poor Him Chan. What should I do to keep him safe now?
The reporters found out.
They know the truth about Him Chan.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It's all my fault. I'm to blame.
I'm so afraid.
I'm terrified.
Let's just move to the US.
We won't have any problems if we live there.
Are you sure that we'll be all right?
If we move to the US,
will Him Chan have no problems like this?
Of course.
There's no one in the US who would want to know about us.
We'll have no problems there.
Okay, then.
Let's move to the US...
or anywhere we can keep Him Chan safe.
Yes.
Let's do that.
I apologize for making you worry.
You've done nothing to apologize for.
Those inconsiderate and rude reporters are the problem.
No.
This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't met me.
I'm really sorry.
What did you two decide to do?
She said that the reporters had found out about Him Chan.
Shouldn't you do something about it?
That's why we decided to move to the US.
The US?
Yes.
Did Dong Hee agree to do that?
Yes.
She lived such a lonely life.
Why would she agree to move to the US? She'll be lonely again.
But it will be better than staying here and having a hard time.
Wouldn't it be better...
to tell Him Chan the truth?
We can't do that.
It'd be okay if he was told the truth when he was younger.
He's only nine years old now.
If he finds out that Dong Hee isn't his birth mother,
he'll be so confused.
It would be too much even for an adult to handle.
Then what should we do?
Reporters are digging into it now.
I'll do my best to stop the articles from being published.
Don't be all talk.
Honey.
I understand that you're upset, but don't be mean to him.
He must be the most upset of everyone.
I'm sorry.
Please don't say that.
I'm too ashamed to see you two.
Mom, are you okay now?
Yes, I'm fine now.
You must've been scared earlier too.
Yes, but I was more scared when you got sick.
Were you?
Mom, I'll give you a hug.
You'll give me a hug?
You hold me in your arms whenever I get sick.
So I should hold you in my arms when you're sick.
Right?
Right. I'll get better so quickly if you hold me in your arms.
Mom, don't get sick. Okay?
Okay. I won't get sick again.
I won't ever get sick again thanks to your hug.
Is everything okay with Dong Hee?
Is she sick?
Yes, a little.
What's the problem and how bad is it?
Apparently, something happened, and it shocked her.
How shocking was it...
to keep such a diligent person like her off work?
She seemed to feel better when I left her house.
Don't worry about her too much.
Are you sure that she's okay?
Yes.
- Thank you. We hope to see you again. - Thank you.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
Oh, it's already time.
What do you want to have for lunch?
What should I order for you? Is there anything you want to eat?
I'll take care of myself. Don't worry about me.
Hey, Kim Tae Pyung. Until when will you be sulky?
He's such a petty man.
What did you say? I'm petty?
Yes, you are. You've been sulky for days...
about such a trivial thing. Wouldn't you call it petty?
Listen, Park Ja Young.
Do you think that only women have pride?
Men, too, have pride.
Try to think in my shoes.
If I said what happened that night was a mistake,
how would you feel?
Answer me. How would you feel?
Well...
See? You would be really upset too, right?
I understand. I apologize for saying that it was a mistake.
Are we good now?
Then I'll have tangsuyuk.
What?
You asked me what I wanted to have for lunch.
I want to have tangsuyuk.
Who eats tangsuyuk for lunch?
Just eat jjajangmyeon and fried dumplings.
I knew it. You would never buy me tangsuyuk.
(Hana Dumplings)
I didn't know that you were just like other men, Hyun Seok.
Gosh. Stop teasing me.
Hyun Seok, tell me honestly.
Which one do you think is prettier? Me or Writer Kim?
I don't know.
Come on. Don't be shy.
Tell me which one of us you think is prettier.
To be honest, if I had to compare the two of you,
Jung Eun is prettier than you.
What?
You must be completely blinded by love.
Or else, you wouldn't think that she's prettier than me.
What?
Ask anyone on the street which one of us is prettier.
Everyone would say that I'm prettier than her.
My gosh. That's nonsense.
Goodness gracious. Seriously?
I'm going out for a meeting with the production company.
Hey, wait. Tell me honestly.
Which one of us is prettier?
- Pardon? - Forget about everything else.
Just consider our facial features.
Which one of us is prettier?
I don't know.
Considering the facial features, I must say you're prettier than me.
Right?
But Hyun Seok said that you were prettier than me.
Gosh. Hey, Hye Ran.
Really?
What am I going to do with him?
He's hopelessly in love.
Goodness, Mr. Jang.
Do I look that pretty to you?
No, it's not like that.
Let's go to the movies this weekend.
Sorry? Going to the movies?
I'll take that as a yes and book tickets for us.
But... Wait, Jung Eun.
Jung Eun.
My gosh.
If we go to the movies together, we'll officially be together.
I'm not sure if that's okay.
What?
Reporters went to Dong Hee's house?
Yes.
I'm sorry to tell you this, Father, but we'll move to the US.
You'll move to the US?
Yes.
The reporters knew about Him Chan when they went to her house.
That made Dong Hee agitated.
She's afraid it might lead to something that would hurt Him Chan emotionally.
Why wouldn't she be?
So we'll leave Korea as soon as we can.
You made the right decision.
That'd be better than being the subject of gossip.
But how did the reporters find out about Him Chan?
We heard about his secret only a few days ago.
I don't know how they found out.
Honey, you didn't leak it, did you?
Of course not. Why would I do that?
Mother.
Who is the reporter whom you asked to write an article about my wedding?
Why do you ask?
I want to check...
if that reporter is one of those who went to see Dong Hee.
I'm sure she's not one of them.
I asked her to stop writing the article.
She wouldn't have ignored what I said.
But still, please tell me who she is.
Then I'll send you her name and number via text message.
Okay, then.
(Reporter Cho Yoo Na)
Hi, Reporter Cho.
Did you go to Dong Hee's house earlier today, by any chance?
Why do you ask, Ms. Choi?
Just answer my question. Did you go to see her?
Yes, I did.
Have you lost your mind?
Why did you go to her house like that?
My son just asked me for your number.
What are you going to do?
You have nothing to worry about.
I'll give you my fellow reporter's number.
Give it to your son.
I'll tell that reporter what to say.
Oh, okay. That will do, I guess.
By the way, Ms. Choi...
I have something to tell you, and I apologize for that in advance.
You want to apologize? What is it?
The article about your son's wedding has been rejected.
Really? Why?
I think I got on the wrong side of my supervisor.
Well, you have no choice.
All right. Then don't publish the article.
Okay.
Since they decided to move to the US,
I don't need the article to be published.
I'm glad it fell through.
Seung Ju, did you check your bank account?
No.
Then check it now.
I wired the money to buy an apartment for Mother.
Already?
It must be enough to buy...
a 99-square-meter apartment in a good neighborhood.
Thank you, Sung Wook.
I finally did something nice for my mother-in-law.
Well... That's that. Seung Ju.
Has something been going on with you in the last few days?
No. Why?
It's just that you've been looking a little sensitive.
Am I wrong?
Everything is fine.
Why? Were you worried because I looked sensitive?
Of course.
You didn't seem to sleep soundly, and you had nightmares.
I wondered if it was hard for you to adjust to living with my family.
I thought we might have to move out.
I had a lot going on in my mind.
I didn't know you were worried about me. I'm so sorry.
Don't say that. I should be apologizing to you.
Honestly, just as you said,
it was hard for me to adjust to living here at first.
Your mother is not easy to approach, you know.
I knew it.
Have you gotten used to it a little?
Somewhat.
I won't be acting sensitive anymore.
Then I'm relieved.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
Are you here to tell me something?
Sung Wook gave me money to buy you a new apartment.
Really?
How much did he give you?
Enough to buy a 66-square-meter apartment in a good neighborhood.
What? Just a 66-square-meter apartment?
What? "Just a 66-square-meter apartment"?
You don't want to receive it?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
But a 66-square-meter apartment is too small.
It should be at least a 99-square-meter apartment.
I should tell him about this when I talk to him on the phone.
Tell him what?
Isn't it obvious? I'll tell him to be more generous.
You make my life so hard.
What do you mean by that? I didn't say anything wrong.
Actually, he gave me enough money for a 99-square-meter apartment.
What?
Then why did you lie that it was only enough for a smaller apartment?
Were you going to take the rest of the money?
I needed that money urgently. I had no choice.
The difference must be at least 300,000 dollars.
What did you need that much money for?
What?
So?
You will give such a big chunk of money to that reporter?
What choice do I have? My secret could be revealed.
Even so, you shouldn't do that. Gosh.
Now, I see why they say that one must live with a clear conscience.
I've been thinking a lot about it.
And I think you shouldn't have abandoned your baby like that.
Mom!
You know I'm right.
Had you not abandoned your baby,
we wouldn't be anxious and uneasy all the time like this.
But I wouldn't have married into the Inha Fashion family either.
You might have. Look at Seo Dong Hee.
She's marrying into that family even though she has a child.
Don't give me that look.
I only stated the facts.
Hello.
Dong Hee.
Good morning.
Are you okay, Dong Hee?
Yes, I'm fine.
Why didn't you take another day off?
That's not necessary.
Ms. Baek, I'm sorry for being absent without notice yesterday.
That's okay. Cha Yeol explained to me why you couldn't come in.
I'll make sure not to let it happen again.
Sure.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes, just as I said.
Thank you for coming to see me yesterday.
Don't say that.
Oh, right. I told my father...
that we would move to the US.
He must've been very disappointed.
Yes, but he understood our situation. Don't worry about him.
I'm sorry to your father.
I told you not to worry about him.
Oh, and I have something to show you.
Take a look at this photo.
Is she the reporter who went to your house?
No, she isn't.
No?
No. Who is she?
She's Reporter Kim Min Kyung of "Power of Women."
The one that my mother asked to write an article about our wedding.
I thought she might be the reporter who went to your house.
Oh, I see. But she's not the one.
Then where should I go to find that reporter?
I got the money. Let's meet up now.
Okay.
I'm going out for a meeting with a supplier.
Yes, ma'am.
- See you later. - See you later.
Dong Hee, can you send this box by courier?
Oh, this? Yes, I'll do that.
Give me that. I'll send it.
That's okay. I can do it.
Dong Hee.
Ms. Kim, please give me a task like that from now on.
Instead of Dong Hee.
You were the one who tried to avoid working all the time.
I won't do that from now on.
So please don't make Dong Hee do all the work.
Give me all the tasks. Can you do that for me?
I feel so sorry for myself.
I wish I had a boyfriend.
Here. Thank you in advance.
Sure.
You're Ms. Seo Dong Hee, right?
I heard that you're going to marry the younger son of Inha Fashion's CEO.
Is that true?
Wait. Excuse me.
The seventh floor.
You must be very cautious,
seeing that you asked me to see you in a hotel room.
I didn't want to let anyone see me meet you.
Did you bring my money?
Would I be here empty handed?
Here.
(Cashier's Check, 300,000 Dollars)
Thank you.
Then I'll get going.
Wait.
You can't just leave like this.
What do you want?
Sign this.
What is this?
See it for yourself.
(Written Pledge)
(I, Cho Yoo Na, promise not to disclose Baek Seung Ju's private life...)
(and will accept any disadvantage in case I break the promise.)
A written promise like this isn't legally binding.
Are you saying you can't sign it?
I'm saying that I'll willingly sign it.
It's not that I believe in a mere piece of paper.
I want to trust your conscience.
Don't worry.
I know that too much greed can put me in big trouble.
Can I go now?
I hope I will never have to see you again.
(Bravo, My Life)
Grandpa, can't you help my mom and dad?
Your brother is out there, Jung Eun.
What are you doing in there?
Hey, Jung Ho.
- What are you doing? - I'm defending myself.
You met her too, Reporter Cho?
What did Dong Hee say?
Tell me what's going on.
How does Ms. Baek know Reporter Cho Yoo Na?
Dong Hee, are you threatening me?
Answer my question here and now!
