(Episode 55)
Stop looking at me. It's embarrassing.
I'm glad I was the only person who saw you cry.
If your family saw it, it would've broken their hearts.
And if was another guy, I would've gotten jealous.
I know you're very upset.
I felt really sorry when the kids in the track and field team...
kept worrying about me.
It's because they care.
I'm just a foolish teacher who makes her kids worry.
Are you saying I've fallen for a fool?
I love you.
I don't care who you are and what you do.
I'll always be by your side no matter what.
Just like how I was always there at your house.
- Mom. - Mom.
How did you find her?
I thought she might be at school, so I went there,
and I found her in the schoolyard.
She must've been so upset.
Thank you.
Pil Jeong, do you know how worried I was?
I'm sorry. I bet you were really worried.
You don't need to become a full-time teacher.
So don't ever ignore our calls like you did today.
Being a full-time teacher isn't a big deal.
He's right.
You're already teaching kids at school.
Let's just be happy with that.
Yes, I guess you're right.
Forget about becoming a full-time teacher there.
I can't believe they did that to you.
Okay.
I'm sorry for worrying you guys.
Now that your mom's here, you guys should go to bed.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Kim.
Let's go inside.
There are lots of teachers who are unhappy...
with Suk Joon's dogmatic decision.
We need to set things straight in order to prevent an uproar.
All he ever does is cause trouble.
Suk Joon isn't a thoughtless person.
I'm sure he did that for a reason.
Are you seriously taking his side right now, Dad?
I'm saying I would've preferred to see...
Suk Joon take responsibility and deal with the issue.
I'm going to go upstairs.
Hey.
Let's not tell the family yet.
If we tell them now, they'll be really taken aback.
Okay.
I'll pick you up at school after work.
Let's go on a date.
The competition is coming up, so I need to practice with the team.
Let's meet after practice.
There are too many eyes at home.
Okay.
How do you feel?
I'm okay.
Are you going to keep practicing?
Of course. I'm going to continue what I've been doing...
and concentrate on teaching the kids.
You have such a positive mindset.
I'll give you that.
Soon Jeong, can I borrow something from your closet?
You want to wear my stuff? Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I need to meet someone.
It must be someone important...
seeing that you want to wear something nice.
Okay.
What? Do you have something to say?
What kind of person is Kang Suk Joon?
What do you mean?
He's Eun Ju's brother-in-law and Chairman Kang's second son.
Why did he hide his identity...
and move into Ms. Oh's house?
How do you know that?
It looks like he's lying to Ms. Oh about who he really is.
But I just don't get why.
You don't need to know. Just take your mind off it.
Then I guess I should tell Ms. Oh that she's being lied to.
He went there to get a settlement agreement.
"A settlement agreement"?
Her house is located in the area where they want to build...
a culture center.
But she rejected the compensation.
So he went there to convince her to settle.
Just pretend like you don't know anything.
That's the least you can do for Eun Ju.
Min Ji, how do I look?
You look gorgeous.
- Really? - Yes.
You look like someone who's going on a date.
Really?
- I'll be off now. - Okay, bye.
Did you abuse your authority so you could give her...
a full-time position?
She works really hard to teach the kids.
Then what about the other teachers?
Are they short-term teachers because they don't work as hard?
Please tell Eun Ju to cancel the withdrawal.
She has a point as the chairperson of the foundation.
Imagine how disappointed Ms. Oh must be right now...
for not being able to become a full-time teacher.
What's your relationship with Oh Pil Jeong?
What?
I'm asking because this isn't like you.
She's a single mother, so I'm sure I don't have to worry.
But be careful not to cause any absurd rumors.
Dad, the truth is...
I need to go to a meeting. You can get back to work.
What is it?
Ms. Lee, this is for you.
What's that?
I wanted to give it to you before your wedding.
But I never got the chance.
It's a face serum.
You're married now,
so you should make sure your husband stays head over heels for you.
Thank you.
Ms. Lee, can we talk?
What's your true intention behind doing this?
What about you?
Why are you trying to help Ms. Oh become a full-time teacher?
It's always been her dream, so I wanted to help her out.
Are you sure it's not because you have feelings for her?
Am I not allowed to have feelings for her?
Are you kidding me?
What if your father finds out?
If you keep acting this way, who do you think it'll harm?
As long as you don't interfere, Ms. Oh will be fine.
I knew you'd do this.
How dare you take it out on your sister-in-law?
What?
It's not a big deal. After some time,
I'm sure he'll learn that he crossed the line.
He'd better.
Get to your senses.
Let's go. Come on.
Let's go.
You only slapped her?
You should've pulled all her hair out.
Eun Ju and I must've been enemies in our past lives.
She's always there wherever I go.
She does more than just follow you around.
She gets in your way.
I don't even want to think about it anymore.
I'm just going to focus on the upcoming competition.
Yes, you're right. You should win an award...
so you can write it on your resume.
After that, just go teach somewhere else.
Are you wearing makeup?
What?
Remember what you told me?
You told me to follow my heart.
That's what I'm going to do.
My goodness, Pil Jeong. I guess you're going on a date.
How deep is your relationship?
I'll tell you next time.
My lunch break is almost over. Bye.
(Eat Again Pizza)
My gosh.
Gosh, that's cold.
You startled me.
I'm working really hard to come up with a recipe,
but you were dozing off.
I just came back from a delivery.
Do you know how exhausting that is?
I make deliveries, too.
You know what? I also have my own recipes.
Let's see whose recipe is more popular...
so we can choose who gets to work in the kitchen.
Fine. You'd better keep your word.
- Hey, Mom. - Where's your office?
I want to make sure you stay healthy.
Let me buy you some unagi nigiri for lunch.
No, that's okay.
I'm going to have lunch with the people in the office.
"Office"?
Then should I deliver pizza for you? It's your favorite food.
No, I don't need pizza.
Don't worry about me. Get yourself something nice to eat.
I'm busy now. I'm going to hang up.
Did you tell your mom that you work in an office?
Don't worry about it.
If you don't want to feel betrayed, I advise you to just give up on him.
What do you mean?
The higher your hopes, the bigger your disappointment will be.
Don't worry.
He started an IT business,
so he'll soon become really successful.
By the way,
are you sure Kang Suk Joon...
isn't your mother-in-law's son?
Can we trust the test results?
Yes, my mother-in-law and Suk Hwan knew...
that Kim Bok Soon was Suk Joon's biological mother.
What about your father-in-law?
If he knew, he would've done something about it.
Your mother-in-law seemed like a bold and strong woman.
But she must be very soft-hearted.
She had to put up with their affair and even had to raise their kid.
Imagine how heartbroken she must've been.
I've become more assertive as to why Suk Hwan...
needs to become the successor.
If Suk Joon becomes the successor,
Kim Bok Soon and Oh Pil Jeong are the only ones who will be happy.
We can't let that happen.
How is Pil Jeong?
I don't know how she feels deep down inside.
But she practices with the kids as if nothing ever happened.
I feel like Suk Joon has feelings for Pil Jeong.
What?
I should find out...
if Pil Jeong also feels the same way.
Why are you looking at me like that? It's embarrassing.
You look like a totally different person.
Do I look weird?
You look beautiful. I've never seen you this beautiful.
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Let me take a look.
You're not okay.
It doesn't hurt that bad.
My gosh.
Pil Jeong.
What are you doing?
I took a photo to commemorate our first date.
I want to look at it whenever I want.
No, don't.
I don't like that I'm wearing sneakers with a dress.
I took a photo because you look beautiful.
I know you normally don't wear heels,
but I find it cute that you wore them to impress me.
I've never seen you like this.
So I'm enjoying every moment of it.
Stop making fun of me.
I'm serious.
I like you in sweatsuits.
You look pretty in whatever,
so you don't need to hurt your feet...
by wearing heels to impress me.
You're already beautiful just the way you are.
Are the shoes comfortable?
Yes.
Hey, you came home together.
Did you guys meet up on purpose?
- Yes. - No.
I'll see you at home.
My goodness.
They should've talked about what to say beforehand.
What's this?
(Partnership Contract for Eat Again Pizza)
"Partnership Contract for Eat Again Pizza"?
"Number one."
"Divide profit by half."
"Number two. Do not be late to work."
I can't believe this punk!
Ta-da.
Did you really make this?
You just wait. Once people try this and tell others how good it is,
this will become our most popular menu.
Don't get too ahead of yourself.
Welcome.
My goodness.
Lee Tae Woo.
What... Mom.
"Mom"?
Does IT mean pizza these days?
Calm down and hear me out. Let me explain.
How could you lie to me like this?
My goodness.
I did not go all the way to Canada to give birth to you...
so I could see you bake pizza in an apron!
Excuse me. This is a restaurant.
Please take it outside.
What?
You?
She's your business partner?
Mom.
I can't believe you both fooled me like this.
You darn punk!
What are you doing?
Hurry up and take her outside.
Mom, you should go.
I'll explain once I get home.
Hey, you!
You asked my son to help you sign a lease, didn't you?
You cunning brat!
What did you just say?
You're unbelievable.
I'm completely speechless at what I'm seeing right now!
How dare you coax my naive son...
to do business with you?
- Mom! - Let me go!
- I won't have this! - Please stop.
- Let me go! - Mom, please.
I can't stand seeing any of this!
Mom, I'll explain outside.
- Let go of me. - Mom, please.
How could you not say a single word to me...
when you both knew?
He already started the business, so what's the use?
I knew how you were going to react.
Eun Ju.
Lots of young people make a lot of money...
by selling pizza these days.
It's what Tae Woo wants to do.
He's right, Mom. Let go of your greed.
This isn't greed. I have expectations.
Do you not want me to expect good things from my son?
You may think that way,
but it looks like greed to us.
Get out. You're all useless to me.
Just get out!
Mom, you won't be able to change anything.
Tae Woo always ends up getting what he wants.
I struggled so hard to raise him,
but he just ignores me now.
Honey, your son...
Your son is ignoring me because you're not here.
I feel so sad.
My goodness, honey.
Honey...
I'm sorry.
Is this why you didn't tell your mom that you're selling pizza?
I told her that I started an IT business.
She expects a lot from me.
I figured she'd be hard to please...
when I saw her at the medical appliances store.
That's not all there is to her.
I was always sad that I didn't have a mom.
But after seeing what you had to go through today,
I feel like I might be having it easy.
I don't know what to do.
It's your life.
Your mom can't live your life for you.
I tend to be very persistent.
So when someone stomps on me or looks down on me,
it just motivates me even more.
"You just wait and see."
"I won't go down like this."
How can you have such a strong mentality?
It's because I grew up with no parents.
If you give up now,
you'll only be losing to yourself.
Should we clean up now?
Okay.
- How are your feet? - They're okay.
What's that?
There's something I want to tell you.
That's...
After my husband died seven years ago,
I used to work at a gosiwon restaurant.
And one day, I spilled some food on the floor.
That's when I got this handkerchief.
Wipe your hand.
Cheer up.
I was devastated, and my life seemed like a mess.
But someone gave me this handkerchief...
and told me to cheer up.
And that was Director Kang Suk Joon.
I went back the next day to give this back to him,
but he had given up on taking the bar exam.
I think that's why he had tears in his eyes.
But I don't think he remembers me.
I remember.
I remember that it was you.
That's why I wanted to become a full-time employee...
and show him that I made it.
I wanted to thank him and tell him that he gave me courage.
I'm sure he knows how you feel.
Do you really think so?
Of course.
Because that person is me.
But I think we were also meant to meet each other.
Why?
Isn't it interesting how Jumbak started living with us...
seven years ago?
You're right.
I guess it all started seven years ago.
(The two are not biologically related.)
I have a meeting all day today.
I won't have time to see you.
Then I'll be happier than usual to see you after work.
Is that how it works?
Suk Hwan.
Did your father have a lot of women around him?
Why do you ask all of a sudden?
He's very manly,
and he's the chairman of a big company.
So I have a feeling that he used to be very popular.
There were many women who tried to hit on him.
But my mom got rid of them all.
Has your father ever cheated?
Just once. It was his first and last time.
It was a very shocking affair.
What kind of woman was she?
I should stop here.
I don't want to tell you too much about my dad's embarrassing past.
I'll get going now.
Come down and have breakfast.
I just wanted to be with you for a bit longer.
They're all waiting for us.
It won't take long.
Mr. Kim!
Mom, are you fighting with him?
No.
What's up?
I came to take Jumbak.
Min Ho took her a while ago.
Oh, really?
Mom, don't scold Mr. Kim.
You're awfully strong.
I'm sorry. I was really taken aback.
Min Ji's gone now.
So let's try that again.
Just come down and have breakfast.
Ms. Oh, are you okay?
Of course. If you guys bring good results,
it'll make me even happier than becoming a full-time teacher.
Can you do that for me?
- Yes. - Yes.
Shouldn't you be at work?
I got off work early today.
Shouldn't you be treating patients?
Today's my day off.
When are you going to tell her who you really are?
Do you think Ms. Oh will want to keep seeing you...
once she finds out who you really are?
What's that supposed to mean?
I heard you moved in there...
so you could convince her to sign a settlement agreement.
I was going to tell Ms. Oh about it,
but I figured I should first give you a chance.
Why?
Because I think it's right that she hears it from you.
But if you just ignore me and decide not to tell her,
I'll go ahead and tell her myself.
Why do you care so much about her?
Because she's Yu Kyung's teacher.
Is that really all?
I don't want Ms. Oh to get hurt.
I love Pil Jeong.
I'll make sure she never gets hurt.
(Mom Has an Affair)
How do you think she'll react once she finds out...
that Kim Min Cheol is actually Kang Suk Joon?
I'm worried she might think I lied to her about my feelings.
By any chance, did the lodger tell you anything?
Mr. Ha only listens to you and your mother.
He won't give me an answer to the stuff I ask him.
Ms. Lee asked me numerous times about why Director Kang was sent...
- to the house in Seogye-dong. - Mom?
Min Cheol!
Are you saying you didn't know that she lives...
in that house in Seogye-dong?
