(Episode 75)
(President's Office)
My baby.
My baby, Seol Hwa.
Seol Hwa.
My baby.
Why is Mother crying while calling out Seol Hwa's name?
Joon Sang, did you stop by because of work?
I stopped by my mother's office.
What about you?
I was here to see her too.
Did something happen with her?
No, I came to ask her for a favor for Sae Na.
But nothing much happened.
I'm serious.
She speaks rather coldly to me,
but I don't think she's a bad person.
After that time,
when she came to return that ring to me,
it does seem like she looks at me differently.
That ring?
Yes. She came back all the way there to give it back to me.
On that day and the day when I gave her some porridge,
it seemed like she was looking at me rather friendly.
Seol Hwa, about that ring.
Did your mother give it to you in person?
No, my dad gave it to me.
Then do you know who your mother is?
I don't.
I've never seen her, and my dad never said anything.
What's wrong?
Why do you suddenly ask about my ring?
By any chance,
did your family ask you to ask me?
About my birth mother?
No, I was just curious. That's why.
I was thinking about going to see your grandma after work.
Why?
I have to apologize to her for not telling her earlier.
You should...
go with me later.
No, she will feel more terrible if I delay this any longer.
I will go by myself.
Come in.
Madam Mo, I brought the fabric samples.
Thank you.
Your eldest son stopped by,
but I couldn't tell you because I had to go to the material room.
Did you see him?
Was Joon Sang here?
Yes, didn't you meet him?
Okay. You may leave.
Seol Hwa.
I received a detailed report...
and other materials from Producer Yoon.
Shouldn't you be doing it?
It's what I've made, but Ji Sang added to it and gave it to you.
Is something wrong?
- What could it be? - I'm not saying it's weird.
Why is Producer Yoon doing something you should be doing?
Are you not doing your job to avoid me?
I'm not avoiding you.
I had to see Joon Sang's mother.
- Next time, I'll do it myself. - You met who?
Why would you meet her?
- Come with me. - Seok Hoon.
Seol Hwa.
What's with Dr. Han?
What are you doing? We're at work right now.
Why do you keep meeting her?
Why would you meet Joon Sang's mother?
Seok Hoon.
You're acting so strange.
Why would you be so angry about my meeting her?
You're...
His entire family found out everything.
In addition, she didn't like you from the beginning.
Why do you keep meeting them? What good will it do?
I went to ask her a favor regarding Sae Na.
I'd been feeling bad about her losing her contract because of me.
Are you saying...
you met her because you were worried about Sae Na?
And you're still going to marry Joon Sang?
If you really love or want to marry him,
you would have asked her to give you a second chance.
But it was about Sae Na?
It means that you have no feelings for Joon Sang.
Seok Hoon.
- Please drop that subject. - I don't want to argue either.
I don't want to get angry at you. But...
I hate it even more when you get hurt.
Why do you think I'll only get hurt?
I know the situation is pitiful.
But...
I can still try to overcome it or change it.
No.
Nothing's going to change.
Fine.
If you're going to ignore your feelings and get married,
I'll have to make a choice too.
What do you mean?
Seok Hoon.
Is this...
the ring?
Yes, it is my ring.
It's mine.
Is the ring...
really...
yours?
You didn't look like you were crying because you were sick.
You seemed to be crying because of the ring.
I was wondering if the ring has any stories behind it.
It's not like that. That's absurd.
Could Seol Hwa and Mother...
No way.
- Ms. Eun, you have a guest. - Who is it?
Ms. Eun, it's me.
What brings you here?
I've been feeling bad about you leaving my house like that.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier.
I was going to tell you the truth in time,
but I guess I should have known better.
Here.
You seemed to like sweets. I brought some cake.
How did you know that?
You seemed to enjoy red bean jelly last time.
What are you going to do with Joon Sang?
I told him I'm against your relationship.
Ms. Eun.
I don't want to hurt either Joon Sang or my family.
If we break up because his family doesn't approve of my background,
he'll blame his family. I don't want that.
I hope Joon Sang will stay on good terms with his family.
I know you're not satisfied with me, but I'll do my best.
Are you saying you're not going to break up with him?
What if I don't change my mind?
If you still don't like me even after I do my best,
I'll break up with him.
No matter how much I care about Joon Sang,
you probably care about him more than I ever do.
I won't marry him without your approval.
Don't worry.
My goodness.
I like the way she talks.
You're late.
Yes. I went to see Joon Sang's grandmother.
Why?
Did she want to scold you?
No. I just went to apologize.
Why?
The thing is,
I went to ask her to give you a second chance.
She reacted coldly.
Why did you do that?
I said I'd help you if something like this happens.
I haven't been of much help though.
Mom.
Making you sad is...
the last thing I want to do.
If someone is going to beg them...
or be scolded by them, it's going to be me.
- Okay? - Seol Hwa.
Mom.
What's with you?
Don't be like that. I'm okay.
Enjoy.
I'm going to relieve all my stress by eating.
Are you going to eat all this?
What do you take me for?
You suddenly called me and asked me to buy you dinner.
I bought you clothes. Can't you even buy me this much?
If you think about it, I gave you a scarf too. Aren't we even now?
You don't want to buy me dinner?
That's not what I mean.
Fine, eat as much as you want.
I was about to call you anyway.
Why did you want to call me?
After losing your modeling job, I thought you'd be depressed.
How did you know that?
I guess Seol Hwa told you.
Geum Seol Hwa gets in my way...
no matter what I do.
She doesn't let me do anything.
- I put Seol Hwa in trouble. - What?
Never mind.
By the way, why do you hate Seol Hwa so much?
I don't understand.
Guess why I have a stress-related binge-eating syndrome.
What's that?
I binge when I'm stressed out. Don't you know what it is?
It's all because Seol Hwa didn't let Mom give me enough milk.
What? Does that make sense to you?
In any case.
Even as a baby, I was neglected because she was sick.
I had to get ready for kindergarten by myself.
No one cared if I was attending classes or not.
Everyone was busy looking after Seol Hwa.
What do you know?
Fine, I guess everything has a reason.
Well, eat.
You can eat as much as you want now.
What are your plans now? Modeling jobs don't last long.
I don't know. Why are you so nosy?
If you don't want me to be nosy, don't call me.
Also, you cry in front of me so often, so...
it bothers me.
What do you want to do?
I want to find a rich guy like Seol Hwa did...
and get married.
Say something I can do for you.
I didn't ask you to do something for me.
Should I let you know if anyone needs reporters?
- You could work with us too. - Forget it.
How much are you going to pay me?
It depends on how well you do your job.
- Mom, I'm home. - Hi.
Wait, did you cry?
No, I didn't.
Your eyes are swollen.
I didn't. Did you have dinner?
Yes, I had two pizzas.
By the way, why did you fire the girl?
Is it really because of Seol Hwa?
Do you mean Sae Na?
Yes, you could have kept her.
She might become our in-law.
- Why did you fire her? - In-law?
That's never going to happen.
Also, don't get too close with Seol Hwa.
Mom, she and I have known each other for years.
Even if Joon Sang and she break up, we'll remain good friends.
- She's like a sister to me. - Don't say such a thing.
- Mom. - Do as I say.
Don't get too close with her.
Come in.
Joon Sang, did you come to my office earlier?
Yes.
Why? Did you want to...
talk about the girl?
No. I thought I would stop by to chat with you.
I just came back because I had some business to take care of.
Really? That's out of the blue.
Your visiting me without a reason.
- Okay. - Mother.
Did you find the ring which you lost?
What ring?
The ring you lost at the orphanage.
What is it?
Oh, it's just you asked that question so suddenly.
You got Seol Hwa's ring confused with your own.
So you took her ring instead.
Oh, right. That did happen.
Yes. I did find the ring.
Then what about that kid?
What?
Which kid?
I've seen you calling about a missing child.
I remember you asking that person...
if they found that child very desperately.
Oh, that child. She's a kid at the orphanage. I found her.
You ask the randomest questions.
Son, what are you doing out here?
Are you coming from the shop?
Yes.
You were standing here for a while.
I had something on my mind.
Like what?
Are you worried about something?
I couldn't give my attention to you lately because of Seol Hwa.
What is it? Tell me.
- Father. - Yes?
Father, I am...
your son, right?
Of course.
You aren't just any son. You are a precious and a good son.
I really do depend on you very much.
Whom else could I tell the things that I couldn't tell...
to my wife or my daughters?
Thank you.
I asked you what's on your mind, but rambled on about something else.
What is it?
It's nothing. Let's go in.
Okay.
You can tell me whenever you want to.
Oh my goodness. I forgot.
I forgot to put the meat into the refrigerator. I have to go.
Oh, no. I will do it.
You? No. You already worked hard today.
- I'll do it. - No, I want to do this.
- I'll get some air while I'm on it. - Okay.
Something is definitely on his mind, but he just won't say it.
My goodness, your back is a mess.
You're spending more on these patches than your wage.
Does it hurt a lot?
No, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
What if I do this?
Stop it. It hurts.
See? It's because you lied.
You should just go home.
You've never done such hard work. You are a mess.
No, I am a new man now. It's all thanks to you.
You are unbelievable.
Isn't your mom looking for you?
She used to call me, but not anymore.
What about your sister?
Her only brother is out wandering. Isn't she worried about you?
My sister? Worried about me?
No way. She is only concerned about herself.
Min Kyu, what kind of a life have you lived?
Don't look at me like that.
Mr. Kim sometimes calls me to ask how I'm doing.
Your mom's assistant is better than your family.
But still, this isn't good. We need to come up with a plan.
I really am fine with this.
With you, everything is great.
Go away. Stop pestering me.
Why? I am so sad because I haven't been able to see you.
See? Even my eyes got so small because I'm sad.
Go away.
Come here.
Hey, did you hear something?
I didn't. I hear nothing.
Doo Na, come here.
Bae Min Kyu.
- Dr. Han. - Seok Hoon.
Doo Na, what were you thinking?
Have you been here every night without telling our parents?
I stayed with him because I thought he would be scared...
- Geum Doo Na! - I am sorry!
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
Dr. Han, you should scold me for this.
I'm sure you do not even want to see me.
I am sorry. I came here because I had nowhere else to go.
Please don't scold Doo Na.
Seok Hoon, he was cut off from his family for revealing...
the truth about the malpractice and quitting.
He ran away because he thought he shouldn't live a good life.
So don't be so harsh on him.
So is this where you decided to stay?
At Father's shop behind his back?
Forget about it. I don't want to hear this. Get out.
- Dr. Han. - Seok Hoon.
You have to get out of here before Mother and Father finds out.
What should I do?
Are you seriously...
Why are you creating such a trouble?
Things are complicated enough with Seol Hwa and my problems.
I am sorry, Seok Hoon.
What is this?
You paid the compensation for the patient's family, right?
Min Kyu has been saving up to pay you back,
and I've been helping him.
I got these after sending stories to radio stations.
I'll give you the money after I sell these.
Why would you help him pay me back?
I want to help Min Kyu,
but I also felt sorry for you.
We're a family and you treated me so well like a real sister.
I felt so sorry.
You had to let go of Min Kyu's trouble because of me.
Seok Hoon, will you still keep this as a secret?
Doo Na.
Do you love him so much? That you would deceive your parents?
Well, I do know that I shouldn't love him,
but things just happened.
I feel so bad to Mom and Dad, but I can't help it.
So I think you should choose love over family...
Never mind.
What did I just say? I shouldn't be giving an advice.
Let's go in.
Seok Hoon, please keep your promise.
Keep this as a secret!
- Come in. - Okay.
What? Why did you go to their house?
Why are you getting mad?
I should make my last effort to work this out.
I told you, it won't. Why are you doing this?
You should be stopping Seol Hwa, not visiting their house.
- Why would you do that? - Why would I do that?
That's very odd of you to say.
I am Seol Hwa's mom. I'm stepping in as her mother. Can't I do that?
- You are making me sad. - I didn't mean it like that.
Anyway, don't do anything, Choo Ja.
It's better for us to let Seol Hwa quietly break up with him.
Unbelievable. You are the one who made a mistake. Don't be mad at me.
Exactly.
I am making everyone who is innocent suffer.
I feel like giving back the shop...
and leaving for a country far away.
Dad, do you need something?
What is it?
Well.
I feel bad for you.
Don't be.
If you and Mom do this, you will make me feel more guilty.
- Seol Hwa. - Yes?
How does Joon Sang's mother...
treat you?
She's very harsh, right? And she must make you feel bad.
No.
Of course, she's sometimes harsh because she doesn't like me.
But I am not sad about that.
Actually,
I visited her today to ask her for a favor regarding Sae Na.
She sounded like she was angry at me,
but she looked at me as if she was worried about me.
Isn't that weird?
So...
don't be so sad, Dad.
I don't think she hates everything about me.
Hello.
May I ask who you are?
Oh, right.
You were with the girl who was looking for the ring.
You're Ms. Mo's son, right?
Yes, you remember me.
Thank you for the other day.
I came to thank you.
I just did my job. You didn't have to do this.
Thank you. The kids will love it.
Does my mother visit here often?
Yes.
She comes for both volunteer work and some other things.
Thank you for helping her look for the girl.
Well...
She asked me not to tell her mother-in-law about it.
I assumed her family didn't know about it.
I do.
After she came here to give the ring to the girl,
she called and said I don't have to look for the girl anymore.
I wondered if she found her daughter.
Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
It's just what I guessed.
Ms. Mo never said that herself.
It's okay.
I've been looking for the girl on my own to help my mother.
Are there any documents related to her?
All we have is her birthday.
Was she born on December 9, 1989?
Yes, she was.
You seem to have known about this.
I've been having a hard time because all we have is her birthday.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'll get going.
Have you found out who Seol Hwa's birth mother is?
I'm competent, but I can't find it out so fast.
I just found something strange about Mr. Geum's past,
so I thought I'd share it with you.
He said he was an orphan when he appeared on TV.
So I visited the orphanage he grew up in,
and I saw Joon Sang there.
- Why would he be there? - I have no idea.
I couldn't hear everything because I had to hide myself.
There's something really strange. You can see it on the document.
Do you know who Mr. Geum grew up with...
in that orphanage?
(Geum Jeong Do, Song Jin Joo, Mo Nan Seol)
Ms. Mo grew up in that orphanage too.
It seems like she lived there with Mr. Geum...
until she turned 18.
Ms. Mo was an orphan?
Honey, have fun today.
Are you not feeling dizzy anymore?
You didn't seem to sleep well last night.
I'm okay. Things have been hectic at work.
Joon Sang, are you ending things with Ms. Geum?
Aren't you going to answer me?
Your grandmother is against your relationship,
and I don't like it either.
Aren't you going to change your mind?
If you're against our relationship just because of her background,
it's not her fault.
It's her mother's fault who abandoned her.
You...
Mother, do you have the same opinion as Father?
Well, yes.
We're having problems from the beginning. It can't end well.
Shouldn't you end things here for everyone's sake?
You'll lead the company and this family in the future.
I don't want to have conflicts with you regarding your marriage.
End it before it's too late.
Mother.
Do you really not want me to marry Seol Hwa?
It's not only about me.
Everyone's against it.
You have no reason to be against it.
You've always been worried I'd marry a girl...
with a fancy background.
I said I don't want any conflicts.
Isn't there another reason why you're against this marriage?
What are you talking about? I just...
Stop lying.
You're against it because Seol Hwa is your daughter.
Deny it if I'm wrong!
(Golden Pocket)
Seol Hwa has nothing to do with me! You're mistaken!
- Mom. - What's going on?
You're not even married.
You act like a pregnant woman.
Joon Sang, if you give up,
everything will be back to normal.
I've decided to move out.
If I have to choose only one of the two, I'll choose you.
