(Episode 31)
I can't put a finger on it,
but I can see you on Eun Chong's face.
It's a wonder.
Really?
I became even more curious...
about my birth mother after I gave birth to Eun Chong.
That's why I will find her.
It'll be great for Eun Chong to have a grandmother.
Don't you want to find your birth mother?
My foster parents are like my real parents.
I've never heard about or seen my birth mother, so not really.
But still, you should register your DNA.
Even you couldn't find your parents. How could I find anyone?
You must've gone missing, but my mom left me.
If she wanted to find me, she would've done so already.
But still. She might be looking for you.
It'd be nice if you found someone you could lean on.
I have my parents here in my heart.
Someone is looking for you.
Someone who may be your biological mother.
I didn't think I'd think of my birth mother at this age.
Could she really be...
my biological mother?
Du Na, you know...
if she's my birth mother or not, right?
If she is my birth mother,
then why is she looking for me now?
Would my life change in any way...
if I met my real mom now?
Ms. Goo, what do you have inside you?
What gave you the strength to hold out to this day...
without anyone to rely on?
He's your friend's son?
She was like family.
Eun Chong had no one in his life,
so naturally, I decided to take him.
My family is what charges my energy.
When I'm with my siblings and Eun Chong,
I feel full at heart, even though we're broke...
and don't own a home.
When I was younger,
I always felt empty here,
like the wind blew through a hole here.
If anyone finds out...
she isn't the chairwoman's real daughter,
everyone will be miserable.
It doesn't leave out anyone. Every single one.
I can't let anyone find out.
Ms. Goo.
Please be happy.
I'll do my best...
to let it happen.
You...
surely deserve...
to be happy.
Hurry up, Uncle Ji Chang. I'm about to wet my pants!
Eun Chong, do you have to go now? Do you want a bottle?
I don't want that.
Then, let's give manure to the vegetable garden.
No.
Ji Chang, hurry up and come out.
You only need five minutes in the morning.
Goodness.
My gosh.
Ji Chang! Come out now. Eun Chong needs to go now.
I was in my morning meditation while thinking of my great work.
Why is that young boy making such a scene?
Gosh, it smells!
This was why people should live in a house with two bathrooms.
That way, we can uphold our dignity.
- Isn't that so, sir? - You're full of energy this early.
Things are always a mess here.
- Did you go to the mineral spring? - I did.
How was your first night here?
I had a good night's sleep.
Auntie Ha Na, my butt is cold.
Gosh, the bathroom must be cold.
I should pull out the toilet seat cover.
Good morning, Grandpa.
Did you sleep well, Eun Chong?
You must deceive everyone smoothly...
so that even Ms. Choi does not notice.
I have to either remove it or make a new one?
What's going on, Yeo Jin?
What's wrong with the fireplace?
He came to check on the fireplace, and there must be a lot of problems.
Its structural integrity is failing because it's quite old.
The inside was badly cracked.
It could heat up nearby walls or even the ceiling,
so we'd ask most of our clients to remove it altogether.
Goodness, we can't let it cause any danger.
You should remove it first, then make a new one.
It wouldn't mean anything for me to have a new one.
You're right. It was only meaningful because Yu Jin used it as a child.
Also, the wooden swing in the garden looked dangerous.
What about the swing?
How is it?
It's seriously unlevel.
It looks like there's a problem with the bolts or the wooden posts.
It could cause an accident if you do not pull it down.
"Pull it down?"
No, Yu Jin.
- Goodness, Ms. Chairwoman. - My goodness.
Are you okay, Yeo Jin?
What do we do now? Goodness.
Oh, no.
How could she suddenly pull down both the fireplace and the swing...
all at the same time?
It must break her heart.
What's this?
Something is in here.
("Three Friends" Lee Ha Na. Lee Du Na, Lee Se Na)
Can I throw this out?
What's that?
I saw this dropped in front of the safe last time,
so I had put it up there, but I saw it again under the bed.
I was wondering if this was important.
What's that, Yeo Jin?
What? It's nothing.
- If you're done, you may go. - Yes, of course.
What was it?
A piece of paper.
You said you wondered if it was something important.
What was on it?
Something about three.
"Three?"
Numbers?
She said it wasn't a big deal. Why are you prying?
Why did she put it in her pocket if it wasn't important?
How can you betray me like this?
How can you tell them the truth and say she hit her?
Aren't you all on my team?
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
You're sorry now?
You make me shudder with this sense of betrayal.
The police said we could be punished if we bore false witness.
Then, you should've told the whole story.
You only tried to save yourselves,
regardless of what happened to my mom.
You did betray me!
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
Forget it.
I won't have to see all of you anymore.
- What? - Why?
Are you scared of getting fired?
Well...
- What now? Are we getting fired? - What do we do?
If we get fired, let's report her to the Labor Administration.
I don't know who my real mom is, so how do you know her?
Everything is just a speculation for now.
Why do you speculate that she's my birth mother?
You should hear it from her.
Do you have memories before seven, before the children's home?
I don't have any memories before when I was seven.
- Hello, Mr. Hwang. - Hello.
Yes?
Ms. Goo.
Mr. Hwang, may I have a word with you?
Sure. Have a seat.
Did you sleep well last night?
Thanks to you, I didn't.
I'm sorry.
Have you told her...
that I wanted to meet her?
- Yes. - What did she say?
- It wasn't time... - I wanted to meet her,
but she said no?
Would she give up if I turned this down?
She wouldn't.
- She'll give you more time to... - What do you think, Mr. Hwang?
Do I seem like her daughter? Do I look like her?
How likely do you think I'll be her daughter?
Over 50 percent?
- Ms. Goo. - How did you find me?
And how do you know her?
It was a coincidence.
"A coincidence?"
She had registered her DNA at the police station a long time ago.
You could've met her long ago...
if you also had done that.
She did her part and tried.
Why wouldn't she meet me if she was so desperate to find her daughter?
I keep asking you the same question.
She must've been...
keeping her eyes on me.
Who is she?
Is she someone I know?
Yu Jin.
I must keep our memories only with these photos.
But you understand, right?
What if she is someone you know?
Who is she?
It might be better for each other if you took the DNA test first.
If you aren't her daughter, you two won't have to meet.
- It'll be easier... - "Easier?"
It doesn't feel easy to do a parentage test...
with this person I don't even know.
It feels weird and offensive.
It's so cheap.
I understand how you feel.
I truly wish to help you, Ms. Goo.
You don't have to.
Please tell her that I won't do the parentage test.
Excuse me.
You're abandoning the possibility of meeting your birth mother.
I don't care about that at this point in time.
Please excuse me.
You said your wish was...
for your foster parents to come back alive.
What if your birth mother showed up in their place?
What would your foster parents say...
if they saw you right now?
Would they want you to give up...
the chance to meet your birth mother?
My foster parents...
would've told her to meet me first.
How can my mom be like that?
She should want to meet me right now if she were my mom.
She wouldn't do that if she were my real mom.
She's not my mom. She's not.
I don't have to do the test or meet her.
Have you been crying?
- No. - You cried.
Why did you cry after walking out of Mr. Hwang's office?
What did you two talk about that made you cry in the restroom?
- Tell me. - It's far from your imagination.
Director Goo reported my mom and banned her from the building...
after she beat you because of my misunderstanding.
Then, you need to explain this situation.
What's going on?
Are you two really dating behind my back?
I said no!
Why won't you trust him?
Why would he date me while he was already with you?
He's not insane!
Did you just shout at me?
Have you lost your mind?
He needs to show me trust to make me trust him.
- Tell me why you cried! - I'm an orphan,
although you may not have known.
Someone who might be my birth mother suddenly showed up.
Happy now?
"Birth mother?"
Did Goo Ha Na find her birth mother?
Who told you that?
She did.
She was crying in the restroom.
- "Crying?" - Anyway.
Why is she discussing her birth mother with you?
It's only a possibility for now.
Pretend like you don't know.
But why is she discussing this with you?
A while ago, this lady was...
peeking at Ms. Goo in the lobby.
I asked who she was,
and she said Ms. Goo could be her daughter.
Then, she asked if I could tell her to receive a parentage test.
She could've asked herself. Why did she ask you?
I'm sure she has a story.
I was just delivering her words.
- So? Did she say yes? - Not yet.
She could be her birth mother. Why not?
She must need more time.
Her birth mother must be an awful woman.
If she were rich, she'd want to do the test now.
Get to work.
She cried?
I didn't hear anything. Just forget it.
I don't have a birth mother.
She'll do the test after meeting me first?
Yes, she asked if you were someone she knew.
I couldn't say no.
She'd find out soon anyway.
She couldn't imagine it'd be me.
That's the case for now, but she may notice...
if we drag this out further.
We have many problems to resolve in the fake daughter project.
Everything may go haywire if I meet her now...
and make a mistake.
Let's resolve the problems first.
Why don't we do this?
Ms. Goo was born as your daughter...
and went missing by the sea at the age of seven.
She lived with the man who saved her at that time,
but his house caught on fire, and the man died.
Ms. Goo was then left alone and sent to the children's home.
Her memories weren't intact because she went through...
two series of accidents.
To this day, she believed that man was her father.
I'll just have to change the age of Yu Jin's disappearance to seven.
We can do this if we do not mention her age.
Yes.
It'd work on others,
but I was worried about Se Young and Mother.
- If they're under the same roof... - I'll manage that part.
We'll have to see if there are other discrepancies,
so I need to take time until I meet Ms. Goo.
You should meet Ms. Goo first.
We would've figured out and resolved any other problems...
between now and the time it takes to have the result of the test.
Ms. Goo is someone who will become your daughter.
She already has a lot of hurt in her life.
You shouldn't hurt her, either.
Please consider Eun Chong.
You need to have him home as soon as possible.
Is Ms. Yoon really transferring to the hotel?
I heard it from Mr. Hwang.
Then, we won't be fired?
Isn't this good for you, too, Ha Na?
Anyway, how could she get transferred to the hotel?
She was involved in an assault,
yet she got promoted?
She's a part of their family.
We have no connections, so we need to hold our horses.
Hey.
Ms. Yoon will transfer to the hotel starting next week.
She'll wrap up everything at the travel agency this week.
Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Yoon.
Sure, Mr. Hwang.
Congratulations, Ms. Yoon.
This is such a shame.
How can you leave so suddenly?
She's right. This is such a shame.
Don't be so sad.
I'll continue to use this office.
Sorry?
That's great.
What?
Mr. Hwang, this is an official document from Dubai.
Give it to me.
Hello? This is Hwang Jin Goo of Hyesung Tour calling. Yes.
I need to confirm the authenticity of an official document from Dubai.
Yes, I'll visit you soon. Okay.
Did you ask the legal team to check the document?
Yes, I'm meeting them right now.
If the document was forged,
could it be used as evidence for Director Goo's intervention?
I have to do it.
Hyesung Tour depends on it.
Why did Director Goo want to see you yesterday?
He told me to take the files for marketing.
I asked for the investors' files, but he said I'd only do as he said.
Is he drawing a line already?
Can you find out more about Richard Han?
(Hyesung Tour)
These are the dates when the chairwoman can do a video call.
Do you know where Mr. Han's new place is?
He wouldn't tell me.
I wanted to meet him there, but he wouldn't tell me, either.
Yes, Mr. Han. It's me.
I have the dates when Chairwoman Shin can do a video call.
I'll send you a text message. Please give me a date to set it up.
All right. I'll call you after checking.
Will you not invite me to your place?
I thought we should be careful until everything was over.
- Is that disappointing? - No, I'll wait.
Make sure you eat well, sir.
Yes, goodbye.
- That's probably Ms. Yoon. - Yes, sir.
Have a seat.
I read through the files regarding the hotel.
Get the files on the New York branch from Mr. Jung.
We'll begin the marketing meeting very soon.
All right.
Right. I heard the chairwoman and Richard Han are doing a video call.
You said he was like a stepfather.
I wonder what he's like.
Why do you want to know what the investor is like?
You're here for marketing...
What if my interest is personal?
You made the offer first, so I decided to consider...
whom I should side with to take Hyesung Group over.
To do that, I need to know what Richard Han is like...
because he's your connection.
Are you ready to believe the information I give you on him?
Did Mr. Hwang make you do this?
He sent his woman as a spy.
Do you feel inferior to Ji Seok?
Or are you just jealous?
I want to know what Richard Han is like because of your offer.
Why?
Were you scared I'd accept your meaningless offer?
"A spy?"
He's provoking me quite bluntly.
He's suspicious of me anyway, so I'll be a real good spy.
I'll give him what he wants and take what I need,
although I'm not sure what he wants.
We don't know if the information he provides will be trustworthy.
Have you heard anything about Goo Ji Seok in America?
I didn't know the guy.
- Why? - Should I look into it?
He seemed to hold a personal animosity against me.
What do you mean?
It's something I can feel as a man.
Something like this involves either money or women.
Is he into you?
- Are you crazy? - Right?
Why is he like this to me?
I'll ask my friends in America and find whatever I can on him.
She had registered her DNA...
and spent a long time looking for me?
If she was someone I knew, could it be someone around me?
I said I'd ignore what he said. Why do I keep thinking about it?
Yali's temperature came down to normal,
and the inflammation slowly got better, too.
Let's do the video call tomorrow morning at 11 a.m.
Keep it under 15 minutes, strictly regarding the investment.
Sure. I'll see you tomorrow.
Right now?
Well, I have to pick up my nephew.
Can we do it tomorrow?
Should I pick Eun Chong up?
Will you do that?
(Chamsae Kindergarten)
- Did you have a great day? - Yes, it was fun.
Why isn't Eun Chong out yet?
He's there all day.
- "All day?" - Yes.
Ms. Goo's younger brother sometimes comes around this hour,
but Ms. Goo mostly picks him up...
around 7 p.m. after she gets off work.
That young boy...
spends all day at the kindergarten from the morning until 7 p.m.?
- That's odd. - What's wrong?
It's that car. I keep seeing it around here.
Yeo Jin?
That's a no-parking zone, so why don't you report it?
It'd be nice if you could pick me up...
when Auntie Ha Na and Uncle Ji Chang couldn't.
I'll pick you up when I have nothing to do.
Gosh, really?
- Are you that happy? - Yes!
It's boring to be there alone after other kids all leave.
My teacher also can't leave early because of me.
If she keeps coming over to see Eun Chong,
I'll end up getting caught, too.
Eun Chong, I'll pick you up more often,
so can you promise me something?
What is it?
It's our family's secret...
- that I live here with you. - Why?
I'm Santa, remember?
What if your friends wait right out front to get presents?
So, this is a secret.
Why did someone report me right then?
I didn't get to see Eun Chong leave because of that.
I probably can't see him in front of the kindergarten anymore, right?
No, someone may report us for parking illegally.
Then, someone will contact you at work.
You should see him on his way to the kindergarten.
Also, you should remove your family photos, shouldn't you?
Find a way.
Yes, ma'am.
You're home, Yeo Jin.
I heard you'd be making a video call with Richard Han tomorrow.
How can he postpone the investment?
You should nitpick over this with him tomorrow.
I plan to do that.
Where are you doing it?
At home? Or at work?
She'll do it at home at 11 a.m.
Then, I'll also get to see what Richard Han looks like.
I really wonder what he looks like...
Why did you keep that children's sticker on the mirror?
I thought it was cute.
People will see that and think you have a grandson.
Your dinner is ready. Please come on out.
Why don't you take it off?
Just leave it there.
I think you and Jin Goo are right.
I need to meet Ms. Goo soon...
to bring Eun Chong home as soon as possible.
Hey there, Yali.
Hang in there a little more.
You can go home when you are well.
She was crying in the restroom.
Did I hurt her already even before I began?
How's Yali?
Mr. Hwang.
She looks much better.
You're right. She already has a different facial expression.
Yali was blessed to meet such trustworthy guardians.
Will you let her go once she gets better?
I'll keep her temporarily until she gets adopted.
Yes, Ms. Chairwoman.
Ms. Goo!
One moment.
- That woman... - That's enough, Mr. Hwang.
You've crossed the line a long time ago.
I was a bit shaken and nervous for a bit after hearing about my mom,
and I even got hopeful.
But I find everything annoying now.
You can meet her.
You can meet that woman.
She'll meet me?
Yes, when do you want to do it?
She'll meet you when you want to.
Tomorrow.
Why did you need that dress this early? Who are you seeing?
A man?
I have no time to see a man.
Auntie, you look so pretty.
You're the prettiest.
- Thank you. - Good luck!
You don't know what I'm about to do.
The video call got postponed?
Suddenly? Why?
Something urgent came up for Chairwoman Shin.
But I don't know the reason.
Is she ill?
Danny will find out where she's going.
Gosh, I should've taken a calming pill.
She's almost here.
All right.
She said she was going to the temple after the video call got postponed.
This isn't the temple, Yeo Jin.
Who is she seeing?
Maybe it's about Yu Jin.
If it was, I would've caught on.
We can go in and see it.
She'd notice that we followed her.
We won't get caught. Follow me.
She's here.
Ms. Chairwoman.
Ms. Goo.
Thank you for coming.
Yes, the chairwoman was that woman.
The woman who may be your birth mother.
(Cinderella Game)
Yoon Se Young and her mother tailed her?
It must be about her daughter.
I will do the test.
Do not let anyone else find out.
Please show me the CCTV footage, too.
So, what if I am the chairwoman's daughter?
This is a huge deal.
I'd be like Cinderella overnight.
We don't know anything yet.
She could expose Eun Chong, too.
Why did she meet her in such a hurry?
I thought this was the best choice.
I won't let anyone notice.
