(Home for Summer)
(Episode 58)
(Seoul Adoption Center)
Give them a tip-off.
Seoul Adoption Center?
What do you want me to tell them?
That Han Jun Ho and Wang Geum Hui...
will get divorced soon.
What?
They've agreed to get divorced because her husband cheated on her,
but they're acting happily married just to get the adoption confirmed.
Hey.
Then Geum Hui might have to give up on the adoption.
Exactly.
Just do it.
Sang Mi, don't you think this is too harsh?
She said she will divorce him in 2 to 3 months.
You'll meddle with the adoption and marry him because you can't wait?
Why are you rushing this much to marry him?
Wait, you and that temper of yours.
Okay, fine. I'll do it.
You can do it yourself. Why are you making me do this?
What's the kid's name again?
Seo Yeo Reum.
This is Seoul Adoption Center, right?
I'm calling to give a tip-off.
Today, I tried making shrimp oil pasta...
and vegetarian pizza with Korean wheat.
You're improving by the day.
You haven't even tasted it yet.
- Try it. - Okay.
What's wrong? Who is it?
The social worker from the adoption center.
Hello?
Yes, how have you been?
Yes.
Now?
Sure. Okay.
What's going on?
They'd like to do a home visit now.
I wonder what's going on.
The last home visit was pretty recent.
You should hurry home.
Okay.
Hi, Dad. I'll pick up Yeo Reum today.
- Come on in. - Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yeo Reum, go in and get changed.
Okay.
It's so hot outside, isn't it?
Please have a seat.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Other social workers did an unannounced home visit recently,
so I wasn't expecting another one so soon.
We have to do it if there are specific reasons.
Is there a reason why our visits make you uncomfortable?
Pardon me?
No, of course not.
We actually received a strange phone call earlier today.
A strange phone call? What do you mean?
The informant said you and your husband...
are planning to get divorced.
Sorry? What are you talking about?
We were told that the you two are acting like you're happy married...
just to get the adoption confirmed. Is it true?
No, it's not true at all.
I see.
I don't know who called and said such a thing,
but my husband and I are getting along fine.
I'm telling you the truth.
Then why did the person call us to tell that?
The informant specifically said that your husband is...
having an affair with the director of the clinic he works at.
I have no idea.
It's not true.
If it's true, we'd be relieved. But since we received a tip-off,
we need to confirm the truth.
Of course. I understand.
However, who gave you such a tip-off?
It was an anonymous informant,
but we heard that it was a young man.
- A young man? - Yes.
May I speak with Yeo Reum briefly?
With Yeo Reum?
Sure.
- Yeo Reum, have you been well? - Yes.
I'm very sorry that I have to ask you this question.
But do your mom and dad fight often, by any chance?
You can tell me honestly.
Do your mom and dad fight often?
No.
- They don't fight often? - That's right.
All right, then. I see.
I'm relieved.
Are you done?
Yes.
What time will your husband come home?
What are you talking about? Who said such a thing?
I don't know either.
Honey, can you come home early today?
The social workers want to see you.
I'm working the night shift today.
Is that right?
Okay, then.
I'm sorry. He said he'll be late as he's working the night shift.
He has no choice.
Then we'll visit him at his clinic tomorrow.
Could we meet your parents...
and your in-laws?
You want to meet our families too?
As we told you before,
we need to confirm the truth since we got a tip-off.
Right.
So are they going to come here?
Okay. I see.
I'm so sorry for making you lie, Dad.
You have no choice. It's to adopt Yeo Reum.
Anyway, don't worry too much.
We'll do well.
Okay.
Oh, gosh. What should we do?
Geum Ju!
Yes.
Did you do it?
I don't know what you're talking about. What did I do?
Did you tip the adoption center off that I'll divorce Geum Hui?
Jun Ho. What do you take me for?
Why? Did someone tip them off?
Did you really not do it?
No, I didn't. Why would I?
I have no reason to do it.
I can trust you, right?
Gosh, I can't believe you.
Have you forgotten that I'm pregnant?
You told me to focus on the baby, but you suspect me? It's upsetting.
I'm sorry.
I have to go. I think I'm getting morning sickness.
No matter how much I think about it, this is wrong.
Give up on marrying him.
Mom, start preparing my wedding.
- Sang Mi. - We'll get married in a month.
So you won't have enough time even if you start now.
How will you get married in a month?
You said Dr. Han's wife said she won't give him a divorce...
until the adoption is finalized.
She won't be able to adopt the child.
What?
What do you mean by that?
Why can't she adopt the child?
I tipped the adoption center off...
that they will get divorced.
What did you say?
And does that mean they can't adopt the kid?
Of course, they can't.
The circumstances have changed since they applied for adoption.
Once they confirm that Jun Ho will get divorced,
they will separate the kid from the couple,
and send him back to the orphanage.
After that, I'll make him divorce her right away.
So are you saying that you did such a horrible thing...
just to move up your wedding a couple months?
What else could I do?
I can't wait for 2 or 3 months because I lost the baby.
I have to marry him before he finds out.
I can tell him I had a natural miscarriage after we get married.
Besides, if they adopt him, it would only cause me trouble.
He would keep seeing his wife using the kid as an excuse.
I'm not sure if just watching you go this far...
is really good for you.
(Wang Geum Hui)
My goodness. My daughter and my son-in-law are so happy together.
- Am I right, Geum Ju? - What?
Yes... Yes, you're right, Dad.
I'm sure someone told a lie out of jealousy...
because my sister and her husband are very happily married.
Since my brother-in-law appeared on a TV show,
he became a little famous.
So some weird people call him to give him a hard time like that.
Exactly. My goodness.
I see.
And think about it.
If my sister is getting divorced,
we would be trying to stop her from adopting him.
Would we just watch her raising him alone?
Wouldn't you agree?
That makes sense.
Geum Hui, what brings you here?
Mom, can you watch Yeo Reum for a while?
Why? What is your dad doing?
Geum Dong, can you take him out and buy him some snacks?
I'll do that.
Yeo Reum, let's go.
What's going on, Geum Hui?
Someone tipped the adoption center off that Jun Ho and I will...
get divorced.
What? Who did that?
So did they visit your house to confirm that?
Yes.
I thought they would be meeting Dad at home,
so I came here with Yeo Reum.
Who would do such a thing? Who?
I don't know. They said it was a young man.
I have no clue.
Anyway, I have to go somewhere.
Mom, please look after Yeo Reum.
Where are you going?
I'm going to meet someone.
Sang Won, I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I can't work today.
Don't worry about it, and go on now.
Thank you.
Then we'll get going now.
Thank you.
- Then have a good day. - You too.
- Dad, are you all right? - Yes.
By the way, Geum Ju, I was surprised...
that you lied so smoothly.
- Oh, boy. - I wasn't lying. I was acting, Dad.
However, they'll visit Ms. Byeon as well. Will she do well?
I'm worried too.
I got a call from Geum Hui.
Don't worry, Geum Ju. I'll make sure they'll believe us.
I'm counting on you.
Wait, Geum Ju.
Why?
Would you like to go to the movies...
Nothing. I'm hanging up. Bye.
What was that? Why did he suddenly stop talking?
- Was it Geum Ju? - Yes.
Someone told the adoption center that Jun Ho will get a divorce.
She asked me to convince the social workers.
Geum Hui is causing so much trouble.
How does she think she will raise a child all by herself?
She should send him back.
Mom, come on.
Who is it?
We're from the adoption center.
- Yes. Just a second. - Wait.
I'm not good at lying, so tell them I'm not here and talk to them alone.
Okay.
Who is it?
I'm here to see Sang Mi.
- Sang Mi? - Yes.
Okay. Hold on.
Please come in.
Is someone here?
I think she's Sang Mi's friend.
She's here to see Sang Mi.
Sang Mi's friend?
Hello.
Oh, my. What brings you here?
Yong Soon, you can't let anybody in.
Who is she?
Isn't she Sang Mi's friend?
I am Sang Mi's friend.
You're Sang Mi's friend?
Yes.
See? She is Sang Mi's friend.
What are you doing here?
Let's talk outside.
Just come upstairs.
I guess they're not so close.
"Not so close"?
Do you know who that woman is?
She said she's Sang Mi's friend.
Is she not?
- I can't even talk to you. - My gosh.
Will you eavesdrop on their conversation?
You shouldn't. That's wrong.
Gosh, seriously.
What brings you to my place?
Was it you, by any chance?
- What are you talking about? - Did you...
get someone to give the adoption center a tip-off?
Oh, that?
Jun Ho also called me earlier and asked me if I did it.
But it wasn't me.
Did you come all the way here to ask me that?
- No. - Then what?
Try to understand my situation just this once.
What are you doing now?
The social workers may visit you.
So what?
Please say there's nothing going on between you two.
Tell them that it's just a groundless rumor.
Please tell them that you two are nothing more than co-workers.
If you say that,
they won't be suspicious anymore.
Sang Mi.
I must adopt Yeo Reum.
His previous adoptive parents gave up adoption.
He was emotionally hurt recently.
I can't let him get hurt again, Sang Mi.
Jun Ho will leave Yeo Reum soon,
so I have to be there for him.
If not,
it'll be just too cruel for Yeo Reum.
I beg you.
I'll do anything you say,
so please...
help me so that I can...
adopt Yeo Reum.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't do that.
Okay.
I heard you, so get up already.
Really? You'll help me, then?
Yes, so just leave.
Thanks.
I'll be counting on you, then.
You'll also become a mom soon,
so I trust you.
I won't see you out.
All right, then.
Are you done?
I'm sorry for causing a ruckus.
Not at all. We couldn't hear a thing.
You should stay for dinner. Dinner is almost ready.
Yong Soon.
No, thank you. It's okay.
I'll be off, then.
Bye.
She must've had an argument with Sang Mi.
She looks pretty upset.
Yong Soon, don't tell Su Cheol or Yong Jin...
that Sang Mi's friend came by today.
Why not?
Can't you just listen to me and keep it from them?
It's just weird.
Why do we have to be so secretive about Sang Mi's friend visiting her?
Don't you think you're being so weird right now?
Fine. Then tell them. Tell them everything you want.
I won't tell them if you think I shouldn't.
You're getting in just now?
Yes, I think I saw someone leaving our house just now.
Did we have a guest?
You saw someone?
Well, I don't know what you're talking about.
We're sure. We totally saw someone leaving our place.
- Who was that, Yong Soon? - What?
It's...
I mean, it was...
Who was it? You can't tell us because of Gyeong Ae?
What happened? Did she tell you to keep it to yourself again?
My gosh, how did you know?
Sang Mi's friend came by.
What? Sang Mi's friend?
Why is that a secret? Why did you tell Yong Soon not to tell us?
I never told her that.
Right, she didn't.
At first, she told me not to tell the two of you.
Then she changed her mind and said I can tell you everything,
- but I said I'd keep it to myself. - Well done.
If I die young, just know that it's all your fault, Yong Soon.
She drives me up the wall.
Nicely done.
So Sang Mi's friend was here? Which one?
It's not like you know all her friends.
Don't worry about it. It was just a friend of hers.
Ta-da!
Seok Ho, do you know what today is?
I'm not sure.
It's our 50th-day anniversary.
So Ra.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
It's not even our 100th-day anniversary.
I won't nag you for something like this.
I think I gave you the wrong idea.
What do you mean?
There's someone I like.
Gosh, you're lying.
You're just saying that because all of this makes you uncomfortable.
Okay, fine.
Forget about this.
It's not that.
There really is somebody I like.
Do you...
really mean it?
Yes. I'm sorry, So Ra.
Who is it?
Is it someone I know?
Wait, is it Geum Ju?
Oh, you two are in-laws. Anyway...
Who is it? Who is this woman?
I'm sorry, So Ra.
Thank you for liking me,
and I'm truly sorry that I can't reciprocate your feelings.
Well... I'll get going, then.
Seok Ho. Wait, Seok Ho!
So Ra!
Geum Ju...
Hey, what happened? Why are you crying?
- Seok Ho said... - Yes, what did he say to you?
Seok Ho told me...
that he likes someone else.
What? Are you serious?
Seok Ho told you that there's someone he likes?
Yes.
Maybe he just said it because you've been bugging him.
No.
I think he really has feelings for someone.
Don't cry.
I'm sorry. I'm nothing special.
Excuse me. Is there a washroom I can use?
There's a public washroom outside.
Thank you.
Hey, that guy is Seo Hae Sil. He's a super famous writer.
Really? How do you know?
The publishing firm I used to work at published his book.
Is that right?
Another bottle of soju, please.
Excuse me. You're Seo Hae Sil, right?
Oh, how did you know?
I'm a huge fan of yours.
I read "The Iron Lady" five times.
Oh, is that right?
May I pour you a glass?
Sure.
Shall I pour you a glass too?
It would be an honor.
- Here you go. - Let's drink together.
Together?
- Come on. - Okay.
That jerk.
I knew it. There's no way he referred to me.
Anyway, when did he get a new girlfriend?
I'm speechless.
Hi, Won Jun.
Tomorrow?
Sounds good. Let's go to the movies and eat dinner together.
Bye.
How did it go?
Do you think they find out that we'll get divorced?
No.
I, my family, and your brother denied it.
So if you convince them, I think we'll be okay.
I see. That's a relief.
Do you not know who tipped them off?
No, I don't.
Anyway, they will visit you tomorrow.
Please don't make any mistakes.
This is the last favor I ask of you.
All right.
Thank you.
It wasn't me that gave the adoption center a tip-off.
Wasn't that what you wanted to ask me about?
Then that's all that matters.
I'm relieved that it wasn't you.
However, Sang Won.
It wasn't false information.
Is it so wrong to make you interrogate me?
I know that it's not false.
But Geum Hui put off divorce to be Yeo Reum's mom.
Since I know her sincerity, I find the informant cruel...
even though it's true.
Do you really think she's doing it for Yeo Reum?
Could she be just greedy?
You think that way because you don't know about Geum Hui and Yeo Reum.
Yeo Reum looks the happiest when he's with Geum Hui.
I can assure you that.
And therefore, helping them live together is the least you should do.
Anyway, I'm relieved...
that you didn't abet the tip-off.
Find out the social workers' schedule for tomorrow and call me.
Thank you.
- Have some tea, please. - Thank you.
- I heard you received a tip-off. - That's right.
My wife told me briefly.
My wife and I have no issues. So please trust us...
and proceed with the adoption process as planned.
I see.
May we speak with Director Ju Sang Mi?
Director Ju?
Why...
But she quit her job here.
Come in.
Sang Mi.
I didn't know you were with visitors.
Then I'll give you privacy.
I'll wait outside.
Dr. Han.
Are you Director Ju Sang Mi, by any chance?
Yes. I'm Ju Sang Mi.
Who might you be?
We're from the adoption center.
Could you please spare some time to talk with us??
With me?
Yes.
(Home for Summer)
Who was the woman I saw last night?
Let's not talk to each other from now on.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
It's not unrequited love.
Did Sang Mi say that she denied her relationship with Jun Ho?
Yes, that's what I heard.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sang Mi.
She denied it when she was the one who tipped them off?
Did you not hear who the informant is?
Do you have an idea who it is?
I think it might be Sang Mi.
