Wait, Mr. Bong.
It's still cold outside.
Make sure not to catch a cold.
It feels nice to have you fuss over me.
This isn't a dream, is it?
No, it isn't.
Mother, I know you must be very upset right now,
but please let me explain to you.
Actually,
it's true that I had feelings for a man for a short while.
Then was the man she liked Mr. Bong?
Mother, would you like some fruit?
No, I'm fine.
Yeo Won, you should go home now.
I'll be okay alone.
No. I will sleep here with you tonight.
I told you to go home.
Mother, you haven't fully recovered yet.
You'll feel lonely if you're here alone,
so I'm staying here, so you can have someone to talk to.
I feel much better since I saw I Nam again.
Bo Ram must be waiting for you.
Aren't you going to listen to me?
Well... Then I'll go home, Mother.
But if you feel unwell even just a little,
please call me right away.
Promise me.
Okay. I'll do that. Go on now.
Hey, Nam I Nam.
You brat, open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
That's enough, Il Nam. Give some to the kids too.
- Okay. - We can eat without his help.
Uncle I Nam, my mom and dad were worried so much about you...
because you packed up and left.
I Nam, you were very upset, right?
I apologize for what Ji Yeong did.
Il Nam, you should also apologize to him properly.
Gosh.
Nam I Nam, you see, I was just...
impatient. That's why.
I was anxious because of the land.
I... I'm sorry.
I'm home.
Did you leave Mom alone?
She insisted on being there alone saying she got much better.
Right. Since I Nam came back home,
that must have cheered Ms. Wang up.
I Nam, did you get some rest?
It seems that you didn't eat well while you were gone. Eat a lot.
- Sang Mun. - Yes?
- The meat is burning. Eat a piece. - Okay.
- Eat up. - Gosh, it's hot.
Gosh, it's too hot. Darn.
- Hey, eat some lettuce. - Thanks.
- Eat a lot. - Eat a lot.
Bo Ram, eat up.
- Mr. Bong. - Hello.
You said you were home. I wanted to see you at least just for a second.
I see.
I'm relieved that Ms. Wang got much better.
I'm also relieved that you can sleep at home tonight.
How is I Nam?
He's eating with the family while having a chat cheerfully.
He's just like always.
I owe it all to you, Mr. Bong.
Let's go. I'll walk you home.
Why did you buy so many snacks?
The carp bread store was closed.
Ms. Kang, which one of these is your favorite?
I bought them for Bo Ram, but I'll make an exception for you.
Choose just one.
Let's go.
It's okay. You can have one.
I already made a choice.
Oh, I see.
It's... It's an honor. Thank you.
- I really... - Stop smiling like that.
Why? I'm smiling because I'm happy.
- I made a good choice, right? - Absolutely.
I'm relieved that I Nam came back.
Both Yeo Won and Ms. Wang can put their worries to rest now.
By the way, Dad,
it was Mr. Bong who found I Nam and convinced him to come back.
The more I see him, the nicer I find him.
I'll make sure to pay you back as I work there.
How am I supposed to trust you?
I'll put it in writing.
You saw that I was working at that house.
Didn't Yeo Won tell you anything about Mr. Bong?
- Dad. - Yes?
No, she didn't tell me anything. Why?
Never mind.
Oh, right. We're out of flyers of that con woman.
I'll print some more out.
No. You don't have to do that.
I'll take care of that matter.
Mr. Choi, why do you look so tired? Are you feeling unwell?
No.
Both of you are looking so depressed...
as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Cheer up. See you next morning, Dad.
You already know what I'm going through. What happened to you?
Didn't you say you were going to the restaurant to see Trang?
I feel like I was stabbed in the back and then in the stomach.
What are you talking about?
Whatever. I don't even have enough energy to tell you about it.
See you later.
I'll meet you in front of the house you work tomorrow.
Prepare a written promise.
All right. I'll do that.
I should give him a written promise,
so he won't drag me to the police station again.
Yes. I'll do that.
I should help her get pregnant as soon as possible.
Since Gyu Cheol knows that I work here,
I can't be sure how much longer I can stay here.
This is the best way to help Ji Hun secure his position...
in this family.
Ji Hun, why did you drink so much last night?
You don't usually drink too much.
I'm sorry.
You must maintain your health while working on an important project.
Is the work very stressful?
No, it's not. I'll take good care of my health,
so I won't make you worry again, Father.
But at least, it seemed like you don't have any bad drinking habits.
Well, if you do, I wouldn't be able to stand you.
Ms. Yun, why do you give me different tea from theirs?
It doesn't even taste good.
Well... I made it for you as I heard it's good for women's health.
It's also good for healthy skin too.
- Really? - Yes.
I can't believe you. Is Su Ji the only woman in this family?
Why did you not give it to me?
Oh, right. Honey, we're meeting other companies' CEOs tomorrow.
I think I need to do something to make my skin look better.
Ms. Yun, can I have a cup of the same tea as hers?
Pardon me? Of course, Ms. Koo.
I don't think you need to do anything for your skin.
Right, Jenny?
Gosh, seriously. It cost me a lot of money.
Drinking this tea at her age won't even help.
And she isn't going to have a child at that age.
Gosh.
- Cheon Dong. - Hi.
It's a relief I Nam came back.
His brother and sister apologized to him and they made up.
I thought he was doted on as the youngest of the family,
so I was shocked.
They aren't blood-related, but they are a true family. Right?
- Are you jealous? - A little.
It's okay. I have you.
I'm not jealous of big families.
You were worried about Yeo Won, but now you look relieved.
Guess what, Seon Hwa.
Ms. Kang is gorgeous when she smiles at me.
That's why I want to make her smile every day.
You should only say that to Yeo Won.
You're a romantic.
Let's see.
My body feels so light these days.
Could it be because of this tea?
What kind of tea is it?
That woman must be out of her mind.
Ms. Yun? Ms Yun!
This is good for your health. Have some.
- No, thank you. - Wait a minute.
Do you know that chauffeur that brought you home last time?
Why do you ask?
He didn't seem like a very good person.
You should call someone else next time.
I can take care of myself...
like I always did.
Ms. Yun!
How could you make me drink that without my knowing?
Angelica root tea is known to help women get pregnant.
How dare you! Are you serious?
I was being thoughtful of you.
Someone I know had a hard time getting pregnant,
but got pregnant after drinking this tea.
You should know when to stay out of other people's business.
I don't care for a child right now.
Why are you sticking your nose in my business?
Not even mothers-in-law can get away with this nowadays.
How dare a housekeeper like you do this!
You've made a mistake, Ms. Yun. I'm warning you.
I'm so sorry, Ms. Hwang.
She didn't have any ill intentions.
That's enough, Su Ji.
This isn't something I can just let go of like that!
Ms. Yun, listen carefully.
If you want to keep working as our housekeeper,
get the basics down.
The basics?
Know who you are...
and be smart.
You should know your place.
I won't endure this any longer.
So watch it, Ms. Yun.
Wait.
Wait, Trang.
Have a seat.
At first,
I was going to give up on you...
because of Mr. Choi.
That would have been better for you.
However, now that Mr. Choi found out...
we were married in Vietnam,
I'll scratch that plan.
Since he found out,
I'll tell my family.
I'll be clear about it.
- So why don't we... - No.
I don't want to get back with you.
Why not?
Didn't you come to Korea to find me?
I'm sure of my decision now.
Since I Nam is back,
this is the perfect timing.
Give me some time, Il Nam.
I'll think about it.
You need time? How much?
Trang! Trang, did you...
Why do you look so surprised?
Are you two...
talking behind my back?
Why were you looking for me?
Let's go if you're done eating.
Mom is getting out of the hospital today.
Let's go to the hospital together.
- Me too? - Isn't she your mom?
Come on!
Gosh.
(Hana Beverages)
Come in.
- Did you want to talk to me? - Yes.
Is your mother feeling better?
Yes, she's gotten much better.
She'll be going home today.
That's a relief.
Hwado Distribution, who was supposed to invest...
in the sparkling water project, said they'd postpone it.
Is it because of my in-laws?
Yes, you could say that.
Unlike what they promised verbally,
they will only invest in it after all the land is purchased.
That's why I plan to visit your mother...
at the hospital before she goes home today.
Mr. Kim, I understand how urgent it is for the company,
but going to the hospital...
Don't worry.
I'll just tell her about the company's decision.
Mr. Bong!
What brings you here without calling ahead, Reporter Heo?
I was in the area and stopped by to see you.
- Hi. How are you? - It's been a while, Reporter Heo.
How are you?
It's good to see you, Ms. Yang and Mr. Bae.
Have a seat.
I heard rumors your new project is a pretty big one.
Give me some details. I'll write a nice article about it.
Why don't you have some tea with me since you're here?
This way.
Ms. Kang Yeo Won is back with the company?
That's great.
She looked so down when I saw her last time.
Where did you see her?
I ran into her at my office when she was there to see someone.
It turns out her husband used to work at Myeongmun News.
- He was a reporter there? - Yes.
Reporter Nam Dong U was a good man that worked with a sense of duty.
The last story he was working on before he passed away...
seems to be related to Hana Beverages.
Excuse me?
What was it about?
The thing is... no one knows.
It seems he had been investigating on his own.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Gosh, I should get going.
I'll see Ms. Kang Yeo Won next time.
- See you. Thank you for the tea. - Goodbye.
Reporter Nam Dong U?
Excuse me, wait a minute!
Yes? What is it?
You left this.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
Your family looks very happy.
They mean the world to me.
Thank you very much.
That reporter was Ms. Kang's husband.
(Hanguk Hospital)
- What? - What?
Really?
Yes, I'm worried about the investors' decisions.
If it takes any longer to purchase the land,
the project itself might fall through.
I'll give you one week...
to decide whether you will sell the land and let me know.
- A month. - Pardon?
Ms. Wang, just tell him you'll sell it right now.
This could come to nothing, Mother.
That's right, Mom. He says they're in a rush.
One month.
I need a month no matter what.
So please go back and deliver the message...
to the person in the highest position.
I understand. I will deliver your message to the CEO.
- Goodbye. - What?
You can't leave like this.
My gosh. This is driving me nuts.
- Ms. Wang. - Mom.
Mr. Bong.
What are you pondering on?
Ms. Kang.
I heard that Reporter Nam Dong U...
from Myeongmun News was your husband.
How did you find out?
Reporter Heo stopped by earlier this afternoon.
He told me that when I said you had returned to the company.
I see.
I also met Reporter Nam once.
He was decisive as a reporter,
and I could feel how much he cared about his family.
He left a strong impression on me.
I see.
Ms. Kang, how about we take time...
before we tell Ms. Wang about us?
Sorry?
I'm not going anywhere.
I will always be right by your side with love just for you.
So don't worry about me.
No, Mr. Bong.
If we hide it again, both of us will suffer emotionally.
Ms. Kang.
Above all, I'm sure that Dong U...
would want me to be honest.
As soon as my mother-in-law fully recovers,
I'll tell her about us.
Thank you.
Mr. Bong, Mr. Kim wants you to meet him at Mr. Hwang's office.
At Mr. Hwang's office?
A month? We don't have that much time, and you know it.
Ms. Kang Yeo Won's mother-in-law was so adamant.
Then are you going to do nothing and wait for her to make a decision?
You should do everything you can to make it happen shortly.
If you can't even convince a small restaurant owner,
how are you going to run this company in the future?
She's not an easy fight.
She won't even budge even if she doesn't get six million dollars.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hwang.
Whatever it takes,
buy some time before the Chinese company changes its mind.
Understood.
Then what should I tell Ms. Kang Yeo Won's mother-in-law?
Tell her that we accept her offer.
Mr. Bong, arrange a meeting...
with that soft tofu restaurant owner as soon as possible.
You said you know her personally.
Set the date as soon as possible and bring her to me.
I'll solve the problem by myself.
Dong U.
The man Yeo Won is dating is...
He... If I should tell you about that man...
Mom. Well...
Come out and have some fruit.
I'm fine. You should go and eat.
Mom, can't you change your mind and sell the land now?
- If the project falls through... - Shut your mouth.
Fine.
(Kim Ji Hun from Hana Beverages)
Our company CEO agreed to give you a month.
I see. Thank you for letting me know.
You have to keep your promise.
Of course. I would never go back on my word.
Then I'll be in touch again.
Mom, what did he say?
They have agreed to wait for a month before I make a decision.
Really? Are they okay with waiting for one month?
Yes. I'll make my decision depending on how you guys behave.
Don't you have anything better to do?
Go out and do what you have to do.
All right. I heard you.
What should we do now?
What else can we do? We have a month.
We should change Ms. Wang's mind in the next month.
Let's use a carrot, not a stick.
I'm saying we should keep Ms. Wang in a good mood.
How?
Ji Yeong, open your cafe again.
Sang Mun, do house chores properly.
What about you, Il Nam?
Nam I Nam, I'll work as a delivery person again starting tomorrow.
My boss said you're not allowed in our office.
You broke the bicycle and then quit.
I'm in trouble.
She said I should earn at least 100 dollars.
What should I do to make money at my age?
Il Nam, try your best to find a job.
If she sees us making efforts, she'll change her mind.
Since both Mr. Hwang and Ms. Koo won't eat dinner at home,
I'll let Ji Hun have as much kimchi stew as he wants today.
(Gyu Cheol)
Hello? Have you arrived already?
We can't be here. Let's go over there.
Here you go.
(Written Promise)
A written promise and a copy of my identification as you said.
You can have it notarized if you want.
I will make sure to pay you back the money.
I will work hard to repay you no matter what.
I wrote down my bank details here.
Wire your paycheck to me every time you get it as you promised.
If you're even a single day late, I'll come back to check on you.
That won't happen. I'll make sure to send the money.
Please go now.
Sir.
What are you doing there?
Ji Hun.
(Unasked Family)
Did you scam this gentleman?
The fact that you're my mother makes me feel awfully ashamed.
I just want to throw it down the sewer right now!
She is Ji Hun's biological mother?
Are you saying that she's my mother-in-law?
He told you to bring my mother-in-law to him?
Listen, Mr. CEO.
If you don't think you can wait, let's just forget about the deal.
I will make sure to change Ms. Wang's mind in the next month.
So do me just one favor.
