(Episode 71)
Cha Yeol.
What are you talking about?
What? What do you mean?
Him Chan's birth mother.
Was it you, Baek Seung Ju?
Answer me!
Was it you?
Cha Yeol, calm down.
Wait outside, Dong Hee.
Cha Yeol.
I told you to wait outside.
Answer my question.
Did you give birth to Him Chan and abandon him?
Did you?
Cha Yeol, let me explain.
How could you do such a thing?
I understand you were desperate,
but how could you abandon your own child?
I didn't. I did not abandon him.
As I've explained to Dong Hee,
I left him there thinking their grandmother was alive.
I really didn't abandon him.
Fine, let's say that's true.
Then what about Sung Wook?
Does he know about this?
He doesn't know?
So you hid it from Sung Wook...
and married him? Is that it?
I had no choice.
I really had no choice.
What do you mean you had no choice?
You know that Sung Wook loves me very much.
So how could I tell him, knowing how much he loves me?
He'll be utterly disappointed in me if he finds out.
So how could I tell him? How?
Baek Seung Ju.
Do you think that excuse even makes sense?
You're right.
No matter what I say, I have no excuse for what I did.
I know that too.
Cha Yeol, but you see...
As you know,
it can't be undone.
I would undo it if I could.
But I can't. You know that.
So what are you trying to say?
If Sung Wook finds out, he'll be shocked.
He'll be so hurt.
So, please.
Please don't tell Sung Wook. Okay?
I'll beg you on my knees if you want me to.
So, please...
Please, Cha Yeol.
You should get down on your knees in front of Sung Wook, not me.
I'm really disappointed.
I'm sorely disappointed in you.
Cha Yeol...
This is insane.
How could Seung Ju be...
Him Chan's biological mother?
I'm shocked too.
I could not believe it either for the life of me.
So what did she say?
What can she say?
She begged me not to tell Sung Wook.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Let me do some thinking.
Are you all right, Ms. Baek?
I'm fine. Thank you.
Ms. Baek, could you take a look at this?
Ms. Baek?
Yes?
These are the models' profiles.
Could you please go over them?
I'm sure you did a good job.
You take care of it.
Okay, I will do that.
What's with her today?
No idea.
All right. Let's have lunch.
How come there are three?
Did you forget that Jung Eun has moved back home?
Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
My goodness.
What do you like so much about Jung Eun?
Goodness. What are you talking about?
We heard the recording together. Don't play dumb.
You have such a weird taste in women.
How could you choose her over me?
It's such a mystic.
What? Did you say "mystic"?
What? Don't you think it's a mystic?
A mystic is someone who believes in mysticism.
You meant to say it's such a mystery, didn't you?
The two words sound very similar.
You understood what I meant anyway.
- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Kim.
Oh, no. I guess I picked the wrong time to come.
- Are you here for lunch? - Yes.
Enjoy your lunch. I'll go eat somewhere else.
No, don't.
Why don't you just join us?
I made three servings by mistake, so we have extra food anyway.
But I feel bad.
Just join us.
Hyun Seok is used to your family inconveniencing him all the time.
My goodness. Stop it, Hye Ran.
Then let me pay for the food at least.
My gosh, no. Please don't.
Please let me. Here.
My gosh. You really don't have to do this.
Goodness.
Now, can I join you?
Yes. Now, it's all yours. Enjoy.
- My goodness. Take a seat. - Thank you.
- Pardon my reach. - Thank you.
Thank you for the food.
No problem. Enjoy.
By the way, how's Jung Eun doing?
Is she whining that she wants to come back here?
No, of course not. She feels more comfortable at home.
She's a real writer now.
Shouldn't Jung Eun get married?
I'm going to make her go on a blind date this week.
Jung Eun will go on a blind date?
Has she agreed to it?
I'll tell her when I get home later today.
Oh, really?
My gosh, I'm so curious.
Will she agree to go on a blind date or not?
You want to go to a baseball game this weekend?
I can't.
Why not? Why can't you go?
Mom and I have to go to the care home to see Grandpa this weekend.
- "Care home?" - Yes.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Is your father in a care home now?
Yes.
But he was healthy.
Why is he there?
He was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer last year.
Oh, really?
I didn't know. I'm so sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
Dad, why don't you come with us? Let's go see Grandpa together.
Hye Na, why would he come with us?
Let me tag along, Ja Young.
He was always fond of me, his eldest son-in-law.
Forget it. You're no longer his eldest son-in-law.
Cha Yeol!
Where are you going?
The PR team's office.
I need to speak with Mr. Jung regarding the brochure.
Really?
Dong Hee.
Spare me a moment.
Dong Hee.
Please stop Cha Yeol for me.
What do you mean?
Make sure he won't tell Sung Wook.
I really am sorry. I'm sorry for abandoning Him Chan.
So stop Cha Yeol. Please?
Ms. Baek.
Cha Yeol always listens to you.
Am I wrong?
I understand that you're desperate and anxious right now,
but this is so wrong.
What?
What do you mean it's wrong?
It's wrong to apologize...
when you don't even mean it just to persuade me to stop Cha Yeol.
I'm sorry.
That wasn't my intention. I'm sorry if that's how I came across.
That really wasn't my intention, Dong Hee.
I truly feel bad for what I did.
And I'm really grateful to you...
for raising Him Chan so well.
So, please...
Stop Cha Yeol for me. Please?
I understand how you must feel right now,
but it's not up to me.
I'm sorry.
Wait, Dong Hee!
Did you have to step out?
Father.
I had to go to the PR team's office.
I thought you were slacking off all the time.
I guess you actually work after all.
Stop it, Father.
Anyway, what were you thinking about?
What's the matter? Are you worried about something?
No, I'm not.
I can tell something's bothering you.
What is it? Tell me.
Father.
Do you think it'd be better...
to keep the truth hidden...
if you knew for sure that it'd hurt someone?
What are you talking about?
Can you elaborate?
Forget it. It's nothing.
It's not about me, so don't look at me like that.
I don't know what it's about,
but if you keep it hidden just because it'd be hurtful,
the wound will fester.
Then the wound will only get worse.
So...
you think it's better to just tell the person?
After all, there's no such thing as a secret.
The truth is bound to come out.
If the person finds out later, it'll be even more hurtful.
So even if it'd hurt a little,
I believe it's better to tell them now.
You really think so?
I'm off. You should get going too.
- Okay. - Bye.
She seemed so nervous all day. What's with her?
I wonder too. Is something going on?
Yes.
Let's go home together, Sung Wook.
You could've waited in the parking lot. Why did you come all the way here?
I wanted to head down with you.
Oh, my.
Do you love me that much?
Of course, I do. Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
- We're off. - Bye.
- Bye.
So? Have you decided what to do?
Based on my father's advice,
I don't think deceiving my brother is the best thing to do.
So will you tell Director Kang?
Yes, I think I should.
Why?
Do you think I shouldn't tell him?
Well, Cha Yeol.
Why don't you give her a chance?
A chance?
For what?
A chance to tell him herself.
What? A blind date?
Yes.
With my friend's cousin. He's two years older than you.
He's a personal trainer.
He's never been married before, and he runs his own gym.
No, I don't want to.
Why not?
Is he not up to your standards?
I can't see a personal trainer being a good match with Jung Eun.
My point, exactly.
Come on. Just try it, for the sake of experience.
Relax. It's not like you'd have to marry him right away.
Tae Pyung, you're going to be like this too?
Hey, what's with you?
Tae Pyung is right. It's not like you'd have to marry him right away.
Just meet him. I'll go ahead and set it up, okay?
Hold on. Where's my phone?
- Oh, boy. - Hey, Jung Ho!
Tae Pyung, you know who I like. What's the matter with you?
Yes. Have you had a change of heart?
No, this is my strategy.
Strategy? What do you mean?
I'm trying to make Mr. Jang jealous.
What?
You said you'd coach me. This is so childish.
When you're dating, you become childish.
But still...
If Mr. Jang finds out, he'll be upset.
I feel like I'm cheating on him.
You're overreacting.
You two aren't in a relationship.
So you two will go on a trip after the show?
Yes.
Honey.
We should tag along and join their trip.
No, I don't want you guys to tag along.
You brat.
Hey, forget it.
Honey, let's go somewhere, just the two of us.
Okay, sounds good!
Seung Ju, where do you want to go?
- Seung Ju. - Yes?
What were you saying?
Hey, why are you so spaced out?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'm home.
Hey, you're late.
Did you take Dong Hee out on a date?
Yes.
My gosh. That must be nice.
Go upstairs and get some rest.
Honey, let's go to bed. I'm tired.
All right.
- Good night. - Good night.
Good night.
Let's go upstairs, Seung Ju.
I should put this away first. You go ahead.
All right, then.
Okay.
You tell him yourself.
Tell him myself? What do you mean?
Tell Sung Wook the truth.
Cha Yeol.
How can I?
How can I say that to him myself?
I know it won't be easy,
but that is the best solution.
Don't be like this, Cha Yeol.
Can't you let me off just this once?
Can't you just keep it a secret?
Baek Seung Ju.
I'm giving you a chance to ask for forgiveness.
So don't lose your chance.
If you don't tell him, I'll have to do it myself.
Cha Yeol!
So? Did Ms. Baek come to work today?
Of course, she did.
She has no shame.
She has the nerve to face you? How dare she come to work?
Auntie Myung Sook.
So? Are you just going to pretend not to know about it?
This isn't just about me now, Auntie Myung Sook.
Cha Yeol found out.
He did?
Then what will happen now?
If Cha Yeol knows now, he won't just sit back and do nothing.
Will Ms. Baek have no choice but to get a divorce?
It serves her right.
What's wrong?
I'm happy she's finally paying for what she did.
I feel bad when I think about Him Chan.
My gosh, you're too nice.
It's not good to be too nice.
I don't care what you say. I'm so happy that woman...
finally has to pay for what she did.
Him Chan, you're still up?
I'll go to bed when I get off the phone with you.
Do you want to talk to Mom?
No, I called because I wanted to chat with you.
Do you not like talking on the phone with me, Him Chan?
Of course, I do.
I enjoy talking on the phone with you.
Him Chan.
You know that I love you very much, right?
Of course, I know.
You know that I love you very much too, right?
Yes, of course.
Okay, good.
Oh, I guess you're getting sleepy.
All right. You should go to bed.
Okay, I will.
Good night, Mr. Kang.
Good night.
I spoke to Mr. Kang on the phone just now.
- You did? - Yes.
He said he loved me very much.
Really?
Yes. So I told him that I loved him very much too.
Good.
Let's go to bed, Seung Ju.
What is it? Do you have something to say?
What's going on?
Tell me.
Sung Wook, I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
Why are you sorry? What did you do?
The thing is...
It's about Him Chan.
Him Chan? You mean, Dong Hee's son?
Okay, what about him?
I am...
Him Chan's biological mother.
What?
What do you mean?
What do you mean you're Him Chan's biological mother?
Him Chan...
is my child.
What did you say?
Sung Wook.
Can you please forgive me just this once? Please?
Baek Seung Ju. Is this true?
Is it really true?
Sung Wook.
Get out.
Get out at once!
What's wrong, Seung Ju?
What?
I thought you had something to tell me.
No, I don't.
Don't mind me.
Come on, silly.
Well, I'm tired. Let's go to bed.
Okay.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning. Sit down.
Hey, you look tired.
Did you not get any sleep?
I did. Don't worry.
Are you coming down with something?
No, I'm fine.
Do you have something to say to Seung Ju?
What?
No.
Then why are you staring at her like that?
No reason.
I was thinking she looked tired too.
Honey, order some herbal medicine for her.
She works and helps out with the house chores.
No wonder she's tired.
No. I'm okay, Father.
She doesn't even lift a finger at home.
Come on, seriously.
I'll order some herbal medicine for her. Don't worry, Mom.
Don't worry. I got it.
Did you not tell Sung Wook last night?
No.
When are you going to tell him?
I can't.
I really can't tell him.
I told you.
Confess the truth to him yourself.
It's the only way you can be forgiven.
Says who? Dong Hee?
How does she know that he'll forgive me? She can't guarantee that.
Baek Seung Ju!
And let's be honest. This has nothing to do with you.
This is between me and Sung Wook.
It's none of your business!
I really didn't know that you could stoop this low.
- How could you? - I told you.
It can't be undone.
Sung Wook will want to divorce me the moment he finds out.
And I can't get a divorce.
So please, Cha Yeol. Let me off just this once.
We're friends after all.
Do you want to see me suffer?
Do you want your friend to suffer?
That's why I gave you a chance,
and you've lost your chance.
Cha Yeol.
I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do this.
It's such a shame.
Wait, Cha Yeol!
Come in.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Sung Wook.
I need to talk to you about something.
To me?
Yes.
We need to talk.
What is it about? Talk.
(Bravo, My Life)
I think I can finally marry Jung Eun off!
Has she agreed to go on the blind date?
What? What will you say to Him Chan?
I'll tell him I am his biological mother.
Do you not even feel an ounce of guilt toward Him Chan?
I told you to persuade Cha Yeol.
Had you persuaded him, none of this would've happened!
Ms. Baek Seung Ju!
