So please, Cha Yeol.
Let me off just this once.
I'm your friend.
Do you want me to become miserable?
No, and that's why I gave you a chance.
But you lost your chance.
Cha Yeol.
I hoped this wouldn't happen.
It's a shame.
Hey, Kang Cha Yeol!
(Mom)
Why?
Hey, I heard that a nice apartment is out on the market.
Do you want to check it out with me today?
Do you think I have time for that?
Why? Is everything okay?
Yes.
What?
Your brother-in-law went to talk to Sung Wook about it?
Yes, just as I said.
What are you going to do?
Why didn't you tell him the truth when you had a chance?
I couldn't bring myself to tell him that.
I just couldn't say it.
Then what should you do now?
By the way, it's so inconsiderate of your brother-in-law.
What if Him Chan finds out about it too? What would he do then?
Hold on.
What did you just say?
What if Him Chan finds out?
Sung Wook.
I have something to say to you.
- To me? - Yes.
To you.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
What is it? Why are you hesitating?
Is it hard for you to say it?
Sung Wook.
Actually...
Just a second.
Yes, Seung Ju.
What?
Mother?
I understand. I'll go and check on her.
Okay.
What's wrong?
My mother-in-law collapsed at her house.
Let's talk later.
Sung Wook.
Are you looking for me?
You said your mother had collapsed.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you know that it was a lie? Isn't that why you came here?
What?
Did you tell Sung Wook?
Seeing that look on your face, you must not have told him.
Hey, Baek Seung Ju.
Do you think you'll be okay because you stopped me this once?
Do you?
Yes.
Because you can't tell him anyway.
I'm pretty sure you can't tell him the truth.
What makes you think so?
Why do you think I can't tell him?
If you tell Sung Wook,
I'll tell Him Chan too.
What?
What are you going to tell Him Chan?
What else would I tell him?
The same thing you want to tell Sung Wook.
I'll tell Him Chan that I'm his biological mother.
Hey, Baek Seung Ju!
I heard that that's what Dong Hee is most afraid of.
Him Chan finding out that she's not his biological mother.
- Am I wrong? - Have you lost your mind?
How can you even think of telling that to Him Chan?
You shouldn't have made me go this far!
Do you think I want to do that?
Anyway,
whether Him Chan gets scarred for life or not depends on you.
Now, Cha Yeol...
It's up to you.
Do you understand?
I can't believe I have to put on an act because of that wench.
Mother.
Mother, where are you?
Mother, are you all right?
Oh, hey, Sung Wook. What brings you here?
Seung Ju was working outside of the office...
when you called her.
She asked me to come to see if you're all right.
Oh, I see.
Thank you, Sung Wook.
Let me take you to a hospital...
No, that's not necessary.
I don't need a doctor. You should go now.
Pardon?
Well... I mean, I'm feeling much better now.
You can go now.
Are you sure you don't have to go to a hospital?
Yes, I'm sure.
Sung Wook, you see...
I'm sorry for everything.
Please don't say that.
Why are you apologizing to me?
That's not important.
Please...
just know that I'm sorry to you.
Mother, please don't be silly.
What?
Did Ms. Baek really say that?
Did she really say...
that she would tell Him Chan who she is?
Yes.
Dong Hee.
Ms. Baek.
I need to talk to you.
I'm busy. Let's talk later.
Ms. Baek.
Can't you see I'm working right now?
(Hana Dumplings)
- I really enjoyed it. Thank you. - You're welcome.
Father, are you helping Mr. Jang out...
because Hye Ran didn't come in?
Yes, just during the busiest hours.
Had it not been for him, I would've been in big trouble.
I'm glad I could be of help.
Thank you.
By the way, I hear that Auntie Jung Eun will go on a blind date.
Yes.
Has she decided to go on a blind date?
Yes, she said she would.
I see.
Tae Pyung told me that her date is a fitness instructor.
He must have a nice body.
Of course.
Oh, right. I have a photo of him. Do you want to have a look?
Yes. Please show me.
Just a second.
Where is my phone? Okay.
This is him. What do you think?
Oh, my. He looks fabulous.
Right? He looks fabulous to you too, right?
He looks perfect even from a man's perspective.
Mr. Jang, would you like to see it too?
Pardon? No, that's okay. My opinion wouldn't matter.
Still, please take a look.
- Really? - Here. What do you think?
Don't you think he and Jung Eun will make a cute couple?
I'm not sure.
But I don't think he's Jung Eun's type.
What are you talking about?
Jung Eun's favorite actor is Don Lee.
Don Lee?
Yes. I have a feeling that I can...
marry her off soon.
Right. That's great.
Then I'll go back to my office.
Sure. Thank you for your help.
- Don't mention it. - See you later.
- Father, see you later. - Bye.
Then I'll get going too, Mr. Jang.
Yes. Bye.
Don Lee?
Don Lee...
There's no way I could beat Don Lee.
Really? Did Mr. Jang seem a little jealous?
Yes. It seemed to bother him although he didn't show it.
Oh, I see.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Hello?
Oh, is that right?
Yes. I understand.
Yes. Bye.
What was that about?
Well... It was my dad's caregiver.
Apparently, my dad became unable to get to the toilet without help.
Oh, I see. And?
She said she didn't mind,
but my dad felt uncomfortable.
She suggested I should hire a male caregiver.
A male caregiver?
Yes.
I have an idea, Ja Young. How about I tend to him?
What?
How about I tend to your father?
Forget it. Why would you do that?
What do you mean, "Why?"
He used to be my father-in-law.
That's a good enough reason to look after him.
That's okay. I'll take care of it. Don't worry about him.
Give me that. I'll throw it out.
Hey, Park Ja Young. Wait.
(Executive Director Kang Sung Wook)
Hey, Park Jung Hyuk, it's been a while.
Dinner? Sounds good.
Yes. Okay, then.
Seung Ju doesn't have any plans either. I'll take her.
Okay.
Dinner tonight?
Why? Do you have any plans?
No, I don't. But I'm a little tired.
I want to go home early to rest.
Can't we see him another time?
I see.
Well, you did look a little under the weather this morning.
Okay, then. I'll meet him without you today.
You should go home early to rest.
Don't drink too much. And have fun.
Bye.
I'm leaving for the day now.
Go home when you're done with your work.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
See you tomorrow.
What are you doing right now?
Let's talk.
Go ahead and make it quick.
I feel like I'm about to faint.
I heard that you said...
you would tell Him Chan who you really are.
Yes, I did. So?
- What's the problem? - Ms. Baek,
do you not feel guilty toward Him Chan, even just a little?
Let alone me,
don't you feel guilty toward Him Chan...
whom you gave birth to and then abandoned?
I asked you to convince Cha Yeol to change his mind.
Had you stopped him, I wouldn't have thought of doing that!
Ms. Baek Seung Ju!
I understand...
that you felt like you were being pushed to the edge.
Even so, how could you even think of breaking your own son's heart?
Do you think you deserve to be happy after all you've done?
What did you say?
Because you were...
the person whom my brother loved...
and who gave birth to Him Chan,
I hoped that you would live a good life.
At least,
I didn't hope that you'd become miserable.
- But? - But...
I'm going to throw that thought in the trash can.
Whether you live a good life or not,
whether you become miserable or not,
I won't care anymore.
That's what I was hoping for.
So please leave me alone and mind your own business.
Sure.
I'll do that.
Just as you wish,
neither Cha Yeol nor I will tell Director Kang about you.
I sincerely hope...
that your secret will never be revealed...
so that you will feel uneasy and agitated for the rest of your life.
That's...
all that I want from you...
who used my son Him Chan as a shield.
Kang Sung Wook.
Hey, Jung Hyuk.
It's been a long time.
Right. It's been such a long time.
Say hello. This is my fiancee.
Hello. I'm Jung Hyuk's friend, Kang Sung Wook.
Hello. I'm An Seo Yeon.
Let's sit down.
Okay.
But why did you come alone?
Why didn't Seung Ju come with you?
She said she was tired, so I told her to go home to rest.
She's been very busy with work. She must be exhausted.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Is Seung Ju doing well?
Do you know Seung Ju?
Yes, we went to the same college and studied the same major.
Really?
Hey, why didn't you tell me this when we talked on the phone?
Seung Ju would've come even though she was tired.
Anyway, I'm even more glad to meet you since you went to the same school as her.
Me too. I'm excited to meet you too.
I'm home.
Are you coming back alone?
Yes. Sung Wook said he would meet a friend.
I see.
Then go wash up and come back...
to help me prepare dinner.
Mother, can't I get some rest today?
What?
Nothing. I'll come down shortly.
She's acting like she's the only one who has a job. She's so annoying.
Hasn't she come down yet?
No.
I can't believe her.
Seung Ju, what are you doing...
Seung Ju, what are you doing without even changing your clothes?
Hey.
Seung Ju, wake up.
How tired is she to act like that?
Fine. Just sleep.
Can you tell me what Seung Ju was like in college?
Well... She was unrivaled.
She was at the top of the class all throughout the four years.
She was competent and tenacious.
I'm not surprised.
And she was pretty too.
I'm sure that other girls were jealous of her.
Of course, they were. And that's why...
there were a lot of groundless rumors about her as I told you before.
Groundless rumors?
Like what?
That she was a corporate heir,
that she had gotten full face plastic surgery,
or that she had lost 20kg.
There were so many weird rumors about her.
Oh, I see.
I must say, being better than others can be troublesome.
That's exactly my point.
But that rumor was too mean, right, sweetie?
Why would you bring that up?
Why?
What rumor?
What other rumors were there?
Nothing. Never mind.
Just forget about it. Let's drink.
Okay.
Do you feel better now?
No.
Since I lashed out at Ms. Baek and practically cursed her,
I'm feeling even more depressed.
You cursed her?
You?
What did you say?
Don't ask. It wasn't a nice thing to say.
Anyway, I'm sorry to Director Kang.
You don't have to feel that way.
But still... You couldn't tell him because of me and Him Chan.
I chose not to tell him because I wanted to keep you two safe.
It was my decision, and I'm sorry to him.
You don't have to feel that way.
Gosh, I'm tired.
Dear me. I can't do this anymore.
Hello?
It's me, Mr. Jang.
Hi.
But what's up at this hour, Jung Eun?
No reason.
What were you doing?
You sound like you've run out of breath.
Pardon? Well... Nothing. I wasn't doing anything.
Were you exercising, by any chance?
Yes, just a little.
What exercise were you doing?
I was doing a dumbbell exercise.
I see.
I like a muscular man.
Like Don Lee?
How do you know that?
Your brother told me.
Oh, I see.
Do you have anything to say to me?
Well... I don't know.
Then should I hang up now?
Pardon? Oh, then you... Okay, then.
Then I'll hang up.
Don Lee...
Right. I should do some more.
I figured out a solution.
I'll say that I'll tell Him Chan...
if he tells Sung Wook the truth.
Even so...
How could she even consider telling Him Chan such a thing?
(Mom)
Hey.
What was the mean rumor that she was talking about?
I told you to forget it.
It bothers me even more because you won't tell me.
Tell me. What is it?
It's even embarrassing to say.
Apparently, there was a rumor that Seung Ju was pregnant.
What? She was pregnant?
That's ridiculous.
Exactly.
They were just jealous of her.
So don't let it bother you.
Let's get going.
Seo Yeon, even if other people talk about it,
I want you not to spread a rumor like that.
Pardon me?
What do you mean by that?
Hey, Sung Wook.
He just told me about the rumor that Seung Ju got pregnant.
Please do not tell other people...
about such a ridiculous rumor.
I'm asking you.
Sure. I won't do that.
But I'm not sure if it's a completely false rumor.
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying...
that there are reasonable grounds to believe that it's true?
Stop it, you both.
Tell me.
Are there any reasonable grounds to believe that it's true?
Yes.
Someone saw Seung Ju not long after the graduation,
and Seung Ju was heavily pregnant.
Happy now?
What?
What? She threatened to tell Him Chan who she really is?
Yes.
She must be out of her mind.
How could she use her own son to threaten you?
Auntie Myung Sook.
All right.
Did you just put up with that? You should've taught her a serious lesson.
I lashed out at her as much as I wanted.
You could never be so harsh or mean.
I bet you said just a few words.
We shouldn't just let it slide.
I'll step up and pull her hair or something.
Where does she live?
I made sure she understood. So please calm down.
That vile witch.
Now, I see how she could do such a thing to her child.
Hey, are you just getting back?
Yes.
Hey.
Is everything okay with Seung Ju?
What do you mean by that?
When she came home, she fell asleep...
without even changing her clothes.
Your mom tried to wake her up, but she didn't even budge.
- Did she? - She seemed so tired this morning.
I hope everything is okay with her. I'm worried.
You're back.
Yes. You're still up.
I'm having trouble falling asleep.
I see. Oh, right.
What were you going to say to me this morning?
What?
You came to my office to tell me something.
What was it about?
Well...
Oh, that.
I was wondering if you could refer me to Inha Fashion's branch in the US.
- In the US? - Yes.
I thought it could be helpful...
when I move back to the US.
Okay. I'll do that.
Is that it?
Yes. Thank you.
Good night, then.
I'm sorry, Sung Wook.
Someone saw Seung Ju not long after the graduation,
and Seung Ju was heavily pregnant.
Happy now?
(You brat, however desperate you were, you shouldn't have...)
You brat,
however desperate you were, you shouldn't have done that to Him Chan.
What does she mean by that?
(You brat, however desperate you were, you shouldn't have done that to Him Chan.)
Him Chan?
(Bravo, My Life)
I can't just let it go.
I'll teach her a lesson.
I'm here to see Ms. Baek Seung Ju.
Did Ms. Baek really have water dumped on her?
And Director Kang saw that.
Will you really go on a blind date?
Are you upset, Mr. Jang?
Should I go on a blind date or not?
You still don't know anything about Him Chan's biological mother?
I made it clear...
that you should never get caught...
while living with the fear of being found out.
