(Episode 56)
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.
I hope you keep your word.
Why do you look so serious?
Did something happen between you and Mr. Choi?
No.
Can you spare me some time after the competition?
So we can go on a date? Sure.
You should get going.
You told me you need to go to a funeral.
I know you're busy, but can you sit down for a moment?
Sure.
Min Cheol, by any chance,
are you dating Pil Jeong?
Yes, things kind of led to that.
No wonder you guys seemed a bit odd.
Since when?
I only recently confessed my feelings for her.
Does she also feel the same way?
Yes.
You must be startled.
We only just started seeing each other,
so we were trying to find the right timing to tell you.
I kind of had a hunch.
But now that I hear that it's true, it is quite startling.
Are you not happy that she's dating me?
No, it's not that.
I'm just worried about how the kids might react.
Does that mean you're willing to accept me?
Why wouldn't I accept you?
What matters to me is that Pil Jeong is happy.
I'm sorry for disappointing you.
But can't you support me and let me be happy...
doing what I want?
You and your sister only care about yourselves.
If I also did the same, you and your sister...
wouldn't have been able to live such comfortable lives.
Just because you lived that way...
doesn't mean we need to live like that as well.
- What? - Can we stop?
I can't go to work seeing you in bed like this.
Okay, fine. You'll last a month at most.
The business will go bankrupt before then, so I shouldn't worry.
Get out of my way.
You weren't coming to work, so I thought you might quit.
Are you going to quit because of your mother?
No, I'm going to make sure our business succeeds.
I'm going to show my mom that she was wrong.
No, I'll show her that I was right.
Now, I finally have a clear goal.
It's to prove myself to my mom.
This is the first time you made me feel so reassured.
You're giving me so much strength by being so determined.
Give me that. I'll do it.
(Director Kang Suk Joon)
It's late. Shouldn't you go home?
I need to finish what I was doing first.
- You can go first. - Okay.
I got a call saying he's grateful that you came...
to a subcontractor's funeral.
It was the right thing to do.
By the way,
do kids prefer pizza or chicken?
Do you plan to go somewhere with them?
Yes.
I'm not trying to ruin the mood,
but when are you going to tell her who you really are?
I'm going to tell her after the track and field competition.
How do you think she'll react once she finds out that you're...
actually Kang Suk Joon?
Remember how angry she got...
when you lied to her about the blind date with the director?
Exactly. I'm worried she might think I also lied to her...
about my feelings.
It was such an exhausting day.
- Let's go home and get some rest. - Okay.
- Mr. Ha, you're still at work. - Yes.
Suk Hwan, you must feel reassured...
to have someone like Mr. Ha work for you.
What do you mean?
It seems like Mr. Ha only listens to you and your mother.
He won't give me an answer...
to any of the stuff I ask him.
I really like you,
but if you're rude to my wife,
I won't forgive you.
I was never rude to her.
Of course. That's how it should be.
Sleep here.
Min Ji, are you in here?
Is Min Ji here?
What am I seeing?
Didn't he say he doesn't like sleeping next to someone?
Let's go.
- 12.3 seconds. Great job. - Nice.
12.6 seconds. It's lower than 13 seconds.
- Is that my best record? - Yes.
If you keep this up, you might really be able to win an award.
- Nice. - Great.
Let's run faster.
The competition is coming up.
Thank you for working so hard to train the kids.
I didn't do much. The kids did all the work.
The kids will think of you as the best coach...
regardless of whether or not they win an award.
It'd be great if they win an award,
but don't be too disappointed if they don't.
Thank you for saying that. But I'm sure they'll do well.
Yes, of course.
By any chance, did the lodger tell you anything?
No, about what?
Never mind.
Here. Let me slice it for you.
Why are you suddenly buying pizza for the kids?
Min Ho took a test today, so I want him to relieve his stress.
Let me know if you need anything.
Okay.
I'm sure you did great, Min Ho.
I think I'll get the best grades this time.
The math question we solved together came out on the test.
I'm so glad to hear that.
Feel free to ask me for help whenever you're stuck.
Okay.
Min Ho, why don't we go home and play a game tonight?
Do you want me to buy you the item that you've always wanted?
Why would you do that?
What?
I know it's your trait to be a little cold at times,
but I thought we were pretty close.
I don't know.
I'm really close to Mr. Kim.
I even slept next to him with Jumbak.
Right, Mr. Kim?
Yes.
Let's eat, Min Ji.
(Eat Again Pizza)
Here. This is my brother's pizza restaurant.
Let me buy you one for your daughter.
Thank you.
Isn't that Director Kang?
- Is it yummy? - Yes.
Isn't she Ms. Oh Pil Jeong?
Who are the kids?
Don't they look like Ms. Oh's children?
Let's go somewhere else.
What's on your mind?
It seems like Min Ho knows about us.
Yes, I felt the same way.
We should tell him after the competition.
Okay.
But let's not rush anything.
He'll need some time to accept it.
Okay.
Gosh, that hurts.
Are you okay?
My goodness. Come here.
You can't just grab something that's hot like that.
From now on, ask me to do this. You could've gotten hurt.
I'm okay now.
I'm not okay.
I'll help you apply ointment once we cool it down.
It's so red.
Pil Jeong and Min Cheol are dating?
They only recently confessed how they feel about each other.
I get it now.
No wonder they seemed a bit weird at the pizza restaurant.
I've never seen Pil Jeong so happy.
Act like you don't know anything.
Are they going to get married?
I haven't asked him that yet.
Why not?
Even if they do want to get married,
I'm worried Min Cheol's parents might be against it.
From what I remember, Min Cheol's older brother...
got married at a hotel to a woman from a nice family.
Do you think they'll be against it once he tells them...
that he wishes to marry a single mother?
What if Pil Jeong gets hurt...
and goes through a hard time?
Let's not worry beforehand.
I'm sure they'll overcome it if they really love each other.
Do you know what I saw yesterday?
Ms. Lee and I went to a pizza restaurant,
and we saw Director Kang with Ms. Oh Pil Jeong.
Was it just the two of them?
No, Ms. Oh's kids were there too.
Maybe he needed to meet her for work.
If it was for work,
then why were the kids there?
Good morning.
Let's have a meeting in 10 minutes.
Doesn't he seem to be in a good mood?
Ms. Lee and Su Gyeong...
saw you and Ms. Oh eating together at a pizza restaurant.
Really?
What if a rumor starts to spread?
I don't care.
What if Ms. Oh finds out who you really are...
before you even get to tell her yourself?
Do you think that might happen?
The director at Hope Orphanage wants you to visit...
so she could talk to you about our sponsorship.
Okay.
You're going to go to the orphanage?
Like you said, she might not have seen the baby blanket.
Or she might be putting on an act even though she saw it.
I need to meet her and check for myself...
so I can come up with another way.
How do you know you'll meet her there?
Today's the day she goes there to do volunteer work.
What brings you here?
I have to attend an expo,
and I'm thinking of going with you.
I need to go to the orphanage.
Really?
Then we can both drop by before the expo.
I'll say hello to the director while I'm there.
No.
Why would you go there amid your busy schedule?
Why do you need to go to the orphanage all of a sudden?
Isn't it pretty obvious?
It's probably regarding the sponsorship.
Dad, I'll go with you. Let's go.
- You? - Yes.
Let's go.
- Have you been well? - My goodness.
Hello. Are you here for work?
Yes.
Is everything okay at home?
Yes.
I guess she didn't see the blanket.
I'll go pick you up when you're almost done.
Okay.
Good luck today.
Thank you. Good luck to you, too.
Is that so?
Yes.
Have you been well?
Yes, of course.
Mom?
No way.
Min Cheol!
- Ms. Kim. - What brings you here?
Our company sponsors the orphanage.
Is this where you do volunteer work?
Yes.
He's the young man who lodges at our house.
Isn't he handsome?
Yes, he is.
His mother must be very proud of how handsome he is.
I'll be off now.
Okay, goodbye.
Bye.
She also donates money to the orphanage.
We decided to become friends.
I see.
- Just a second, ma'am. - Okay.
Director.
"Director"?
Who is she referring to?
(Hope Orphanage)
Mom.
When did you get to know her?
I met her when I came here to donate.
Are you saying you didn't know that she lives...
in that house in Seogye-dong?
How would I have known that?
I found out just now thanks to you.
Are you telling me the truth?
Then do you think I pretended not to know her...
when I actually did?
Why would I do that?
If you can't believe me, go back and ask her.
Dr. Choi was offered to teach at a university abroad,
so he'll be gone for a few years.
We need to find you a new doctor, Dad.
What kind of person gets to be his doctor?
We normally choose a specialist from a university hospital.
Should I ask Dr. Choi to recommend someone?
There's no rush. You can take your time.
Okay.
(Vice-chairperson Kim Hae Jeong)
What brings you here?
I contemplated on whether I should tell you this or not.
But I figured it'd be better to tell you.
What is it about?
Ms. Lee asked me numerous times about why Director Kang was sent...
to the house in Seogye-dong.
- Ms. Lee? - Yes.
She seemed especially interested in Kim Bok Soon.
Did something happen?
You seem to have a lot on your mind.
No.
I know the competition is coming up, but I'm worried you might burn out.
The kids are the ones who are tired. I'm okay.
Your face and arms are so tan.
It's so upsetting.
Why are you laughing?
Because it feels nice.
It gives me so much strength to know that you're worried about me.
Should I give you more strength?
Let me charge you with some energy.
It's going to take some time for me to get fully charged.
That's not a problem.
Just a second.
(Lee Eun Ju)
I'm near your house.
Let's go.
I told you that I don't ever want to see you again.
So why are you here?
- Are you dating someone? - What?
I saw you guys earlier.
Do you really think it's right for a single mother to date a guy...
who's never been married before?
I don't care what you think about us.
So you're going to keep seeing him?
Did you hit on him first?
He's not the type to fall for stuff like that.
Are you saying he liked you first?
He probably pitied you for living such a tough life.
He's pitying you, but he's probably mistaking that for love.
We naturally started having feelings for each other.
This isn't just a fling.
So what? Are you going to marry him?
You need to marry someone similar in order to be happy.
Are you happy?
Of course. My husband loves me and no one else.
No matter what I say or do, he always takes my side.
Min Cheol is no different.
He takes my side,
and he makes me happy.
So he makes me want to be with him.
Let me give you a word of advice. He's not the right guy for you.
I really don't understand why you're so interested...
in Min Cheol.
He's not some guy you can easily...
Have you thought about how his parents might react...
once they find out?
I guess you haven't thought that far.
I'm saying this for your sake,
so you'd better listen to me.
Did you go somewhere?
Yes, just for a while.
Min Cheol came to the orphanage today.
His company apparently sponsors the orphanage.
- Really? - Yes.
But the director of the orphanage...
referred to Min Cheol as "Director".
"Director"?
You were probably mistaken.
Do you think so?
Anyway, Min Cheol told me...
that you guys are seeing each other.
Why are you so startled?
You guys were being so obvious.
It hasn't been that long.
What does that matter?
What matters is that you guys feel the same way.
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
I don't know if it's okay for me to like him.
I have kids.
And Min Cheol obviously deserves better.
If you weigh things like that, it wouldn't be love.
I'm sure Min Cheol isn't taking this lightly.
Just have some faith.
Do you think I can do that?
I think it's okay because it's Min Cheol.
Who did you meet?
Just someone.
Why aren't you eating rice?
Sometimes, I crave jjajang noodles and green onion kimchi.
- Sit down. - No, I don't need to eat.
Come on. Sit down.
Okay.
I'll eat it myself.
Hey, come on. Just open your mouth.
I want some, too!
Okay, sure.
Here.
- Is it good? - Yes, I want more.
More? Okay.
Here.
- You eat so well. - It's delicious.
Do you want more?
Welcome home, ma'am.
Ms. Lee asked me numerous times about why Director Kang was sent...
to the house in Seogye-dong.
Ms. Lee?
She seemed especially interested in Kim Bok Soon.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to change the sheets...
before Ms. Lee came home.
- Oh, okay. Go ahead. - Okay.
Miss!
Is this what you're looking for?
(The two are not biologically related.)
Mother.
(Mom Has an Affair)
I truly want to help him become the successor.
You're only doing it for yourself.
You have so much greed.
What about the settlement agreement?
I'm thinking about...
what will be best for the company and her family.
It's all been decided already.
Did you move in there only to tell me this?
- Pil Jeong. - Even if I seem a bit different,
my feelings will still remain the same.
Take it back!
What did you say to my mother-in-law about me?
Are you trying to put me through trouble?
