She met her son?
To be more exact, she saw her son.
- How? - I don't know.
Anyway, there's no reason for us to keep looking for him...
now that she saw him herself.
I've been having a hard time trusting Ms. No anyway...
because it seemed like she wanted money.
Whatever the case, I'm glad Ms. Kim found her son.
To be honest, she's been a bit weird lately.
How?
She started cooking stuff for me,
and she even bought me a pair of shoes.
She even came to my room and held my hand...
while I was sleeping.
What?
I think it's because she met her son.
But that's so strange.
Are you sure she left?
Mr. Ha saw her leave.
She won't come back, right?
I don't think so.
In the end, she chose to leave by herself.
Now, it's time for Suk Joon to find out.
You told me you'll find a way to do that. How is it going?
Mr. Ha and I are both trying hard,
so I'm sure we'll find a way soon.
Once Suk Joon finds out,
he'll have too much on his mind to protect the house in Seogye-dong.
And that's why you should step in and proceed with the construction.
There are lots of executives who are upset...
that the construction keeps getting delayed.
Exactly.
Use this chance...
to show the executives what you're capable of.
Then your father won't be able to ignore you anymore.
How long do we need to wait for the settlement agreement?
Some people even think that's going to be impossible.
Why don't we just go ahead and tear the place down?
We can't do that without a settlement agreement.
We're searching for another way, so please give it some time.
What other way?
We just need to make them settle.
Everyone is waiting for the construction,
so you shouldn't be so indecisive.
Then the board members will even start to raise an issue.
You must be cool-headed about this.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Why isn't she picking up?
Your mother?
Yes, she hasn't been answering her phone all day.
Maybe she went to see her son.
- You told me she saw him recently. - Maybe.
But I'm a little worried about her.
She's been a bit different lately.
Because she didn't want Suk Joon to leave?
- Yes. - I think that was because...
she cared more about you than the house.
Mom, I'm home.
I guess Grandma isn't home.
I can't even reach her. I wonder where she went.
Pil Jeong. Soon Jeong.
I'm sorry for leaving you guys...
without even saying goodbye.
I'm off to live with my son.
I'm sure you're upset, and you might even resent me,
but I hope you understand.
I was so happy while I lived with you guys.
I also enjoyed seeing Min Ho and Min Ji grow up.
Don't worry about me and get on with your lives.
Please say goodbye to Min Cheol for me as well.
I hope you're all happy no matter where you go.
Hey, Pil Jeong.
Soon Jeong.
I think Mom left us.
What do you mean? Why would she leave?
She must've left after she wrote us a letter...
saying she's off to live with her son.
What? I'll be right there.
Why did she leave without saying anything to us?
Was she worried we might stop her from leaving?
And why isn't she answering her phone?
Do you really think she left us to live with her son?
That's what she wrote in her letter.
How could she leave us like this?
I'm home.
Mr. Kim, Grandma left us.
What?
She left us a letter and went off to live with her son.
You told me you don't know where her son lives, right?
She didn't tell me.
I should've asked.
I was such a fool.
Are you sure she saw her son?
That's what she told me.
Do you think we should report her missing?
She left us a letter,
so she's not exactly missing.
She's right. She might call you,
so let's wait and see.
(Kim Bok Soon)
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
I know you've been having a hard time,
but I figured you might feel a lot better today,
so I prepared a special meal.
You've been through so much.
She's right. Don't be too stressed about it anymore.
We still have to deal with Suk Joon.
Suk Hwan will take care of that. Right, honey?
Of course.
Just have fun and enjoy the day.
What is all this?
I thought it'd be nice to enjoy a bottle of wine with the family.
Don't forget.
We're your family.
Why aren't you telling Suk Joon the truth?
Do you really not know why?
Isn't it because you're scared he might blame you for everything?
What?
How long do you think you can keep this from him?
You can't hide the truth forever.
He should know who his mother is.
Hello, this is Eat Again Pizza.
You mean MJ Karaoke Room that's right across the street?
I'm sorry. I'll have it delivered right away.
Tae Woo, are you here by yourself?
Mom, I'm glad you're here. Can you help me?
Why do you want my help? Where's your business partner?
Something came up at home, so she left for a while.
Tell her not to come back.
Can't you see that I'm struggling all by myself?
Can you take this to MJ Karaoke Room that's right across the street?
Me?
They already paid. You just need to deliver it to them.
I can't deliver pizza.
You told me to work on my own.
Then you should at least deliver this for me.
- Hurry. - Hey.
- You can do it. - No, wait.
- My gosh. - Go on. Thanks.
Be safe.
So what?
I don't care
I'm sorry, I don't care, don't care
Really don't care
You can leave it on the table.
Can you pour some hot sauce and garlic sauce on our pizza?
Do it yourself!
How dare you ask an adult to do that for you?
My gosh, what is your problem?
What?
Let's not order from here next time.
You should upload a post on your social media account.
How dare you?
What school do you go to?
Oh, my gosh. She's the principal! Run!
Come over here! Stop!
Come here. Hey, you. What class are you in?
Oh, my goodness!
Hey! Stop right there!
My goodness, my back.
Oh, gosh. My goodness.
Come here, you brats!
What happened?
I hurt my back after I got pushed...
by a couple of rude students.
You fought with students again?
You probably lectured them too much.
I didn't do anything wrong.
How could you say that to me after making me deliver pizza?
If you're going to help, do it properly.
If they write a bad review online,
we'll get fewer customers.
What?
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
- Isn't she picking up? - No.
Do you know where she might be?
The orphanage she used to work at doesn't know where she is,
and her friends don't know either.
She acted a bit unusual yesterday.
Why?
She came to my room...
and held my hand.
It seemed like she thought I was asleep,
so I just kept my eyes closed.
Come to think of it,
I think she came to my room while I was asleep as well.
I didn't notice anything. I was just fast asleep.
I can't sleep because Grandma isn't here.
I'll put you to bed. Let's go.
Would you like to sleep next to Jumbak and me?
Yes.
Is that okay?
Lie down, Min Ji.
Jumbak, you too.
Mr. Kim, do you also miss my grandma?
Yes.
She was the kindest to me in this family.
She's also my favorite person.
What if she doesn't come back?
You should meet her in your dream and tell her...
to come back home.
Okay.
You were looking for her son?
- Yes. - Why?
She seemed to miss him,
so I wanted to help her find him.
So did you find him?
I found someone who knows Ms. Kim.
If you find her son, you'll be able to find my mom.
We could at least ask how she's doing.
I'll look into it.
Please do me a favor.
I'm sure she'll call, so don't worry too much.
The executives are very unhappy...
that the settlement in Seogye-dong is getting delayed. Did you know?
Yes, I'll meet them separately and convince them.
Ki Beom, I want you to find Ms. Kim's son.
Why? I thought she already left to live with him.
It's weird that we can't seem to reach her.
The only way to check if she's with her son or not...
is to meet him and ask.
Then I'll meet Ms. No and ask her.
- I'll meet her. - No, it's okay.
She can be a little rough, so I'll just talk to her.
Thank you.
I heard she wants money, so make sure you bring cash.
We need to find Ms. Kim's son no matter what.
Okay.
No one knows the bar called the Black Rose?
Did you ask all the bars...
in Garibong-dong?
Ask people who have been living there for a long time.
It's urgent.
- Yes, what is it? - It's me.
(Executive Director Kang Suk Hwan)
- I'm sorry, sir. - Who were you calling for so long?
Have you been looking into the stuff I asked for?
- Well... - If it wasn't about that,
who were you talking to?
You seem too relaxed these days.
I'll look into it right now.
No way.
They can't be the same person.
My gosh, why is he so distracted these days?
No, I'll meet Ms. No myself...
to ask about Ms. Kim's son.
Where do I need to go?
Okay, bye.
"Ms. No"?
I need to work every day to make ends meet,
so it's only right that you pay for my time.
Back when I used to work at the Black Rose,
I made this much in an instant.
Are you looking down on me because I'm old?
You need to show me some sincerity...
if you want me to talk.
Last time, you told me this was enough.
Are you sure you know anything about Kim Bok Soon?
Forget it if you're not interested.
Yes, Director Kang.
She left asking for more money.
Without even telling you anything?
She used to run a bar, so she keeps wanting more.
But I'm guessing she really knows something...
judging by the way she keeps rejecting us.
Are you serious? Aren't you going to work?
I baked all the pizza, made all the deliveries,
and I'm even cleaning the place.
This isn't what I signed up for.
Why are you crying? I didn't even do anything.
My mom abandoned us and left.
What?
She met her biological son,
and she went off to live with him.
"Biological son"?
I forgot she wasn't your birth mother.
My sister and I thought of her...
as our birth mother.
We never even thought of leaving her.
I relied on her so much.
How could she do this to me?
I'm sure she'll come back.
Our dad already abandoned us once.
And I feel like we got abandoned again.
What was that for?
You could've just told me to back off.
You didn't have to push me.
No, it's not that. Did you get hurt?
Forget it.
Everyone keeps leaving me...
and pushing me away.
I'm so sad.
I must be crazy.
Why did my heart flutter for a crying woman?
Mom, where are you?
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Did you meet your son?
We're all worried about you,
so please text us saying you're doing okay.
I miss you.
Your contract is about to end soon, right?
Should I help you renew your contract?
I'll let you renew your contract.
Instead, have Suk Joon move out of your house,
and don't ever meet him again.
Don't get him involved in this.
I don't need your help to have my contract renewed.
The track and field team won an award,
and I did nothing wrong to be disqualified.
I can always make you disqualified.
Are you going to frame me...
for accepting bribery like you did seven years ago?
Why would I do that...
when I have authority now?
No matter what you do,
I'm going to stay strong and get back up.
I'm like a weed.
I grow stronger the more you step on me.
I might just pluck you out.
Go ahead.
Weeds can easily take root again.
Hey, Uncle.
Uncle.
What's up?
I figured it'd be useless to talk to your mother,
so I wanted to meet you instead.
I heard you're the chairwoman of the foundation...
for Daehan Middle School.
Yes, my mother-in-law let me take over.
I see.
But why do you ask?
Can you not get rid of the track and field team?
Yu Kyung is an athlete in that team.
Okay, I'll think about it.
And will Ms. Oh be able to renew her contract?
Did Pil Jeong ask you to do this?
No, I'm just asking.
I heard you guys went to the same high school.
You know Ms. Oh would never ask me for something like that.
I don't know what she told you, but we're not close.
And this is regarding work.
That's why you should renew her contract.
She even helped the team win an award.
Why do you care so much about Pil Jeong?
What?
She's Yu Kyung's teacher.
Please do me a favor.
Uncle, do you...
What? What is it?
No, never mind.
Okay.
What are you doing?
It just feels really weird. Every time I came home,
Grandma was always here to greet me.
I feel the same way.
She welcomed me home every time I came back from work.
Do you think she'll come back?
Yes, she'll be back.
This house means a lot to her.
That's why I want to help you guys protect it.
Do you really mean that?
Of course.
What would you have done if I really left?
Now that your grandmother's gone,
imagine living here with just your mom and Min Ji.
The house already feels so empty.
I'll stay with you guys...
until your grandmother comes back.
I'll be there for you and make sure you're not lonely.
Do you think my mom also sat here like this...
hoping that her son will come home one day?
I never even imagined...
that she'd leave us like this.
I feel so empty inside.
I don't know what to do.
I miss my mom.
What if she doesn't come back?
She'll come back.
I'm looking for her son, so we'll hear something soon.
I'm so relieved that I'm here for you.
You can lean on me whenever you're having a hard time.
I'll protect you.
Hey, Ki Beom.
Ms. No wishes to meet you in person.
Me?
Okay.
I think we might be able to find Ms. Kim's son.
Really?
Yes.
Now, you're talking.
But why are you looking for Kim Bok Soon's son?
She left to live with her son,
but I don't know where she is.
I want to check if she's really with her son...
in order to check if she's safe or not.
That's all?
Yes.
Her son's name is Kim Seung Jae.
I know.
Kim Bok Soon was very ill in the past.
And Mr. Kang, the president of Taesan,
took her son so he could raise him for her.
"Mr. Kang, the president of Taesan"?
What's the president's name?
I don't know that much.
All I know is that Mr. Kang...
used to run a company called Taesan in Maljukgeori.
"Taesan"?
It sounds so familiar.
He's dying to know,
so just tell him.
Tell whom?
Kang Suk Joon.
Call him...
and tell him yourself.
And don't tell anyone else.
Okay?
What are you thinking about?
No, it's nothing.
Hey, Suk Hwan.
By any chance, have you heard of a firm called Taesan?
You don't know Taesan?
It was the company that Dad first built.
He got rid of it after he started working at Grandpa's company.
Back in the days, everyone knew him as Mr. Kang,
the president of Taesan in Maljukgeori.
Then are you saying...
My mom was very ill back then,
so she asked an acquaintance to raise her son for her.
Kim Bok Soon was very ill in the past.
And Mr. Kang, the president of Taesan,
took her son so he could raise him for her.
Massage her shoulders from time to time,
and eat with her sometimes when you have the chance.
I'm not her son.
You have no idea how glad I was when I found out your birthday...
is on the same date as my son's.
It felt like you came on behalf of my son.
Did you find my mom's son?
Let's hang up.
I'll call you later.
(Kim Bok Soon)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
I'm glad you're here. The old lady you live with...
What's wrong?
Dad.
What is it?
Who is...
Ms. Kim Bok Soon's son?
Am I her son?
It can't be me, right?
Suk... Suk Joon.
Tell me, Dad.
Who's my mom?
Is it Kim Hae Jeong or Kim Bok Soon?
Suk Joon.
Who is my mother?
Kim Bok Soon...
is your birth mother.
(Mom Has an Affair)
Everything makes sense now.
I get why Mom and Suk Hwan held me in check and hated me so much.
- I want you to wait outside. - No, stay!
- Suk Joon deserves to know... - How dare you?
what you did in the past.
He's just upset because our mom is no longer here to take his side.
Is everything okay?
The board members will turn their backs on Suk Joon...
once they find out he was born out of wedlock.
Go find your mother.
Don't ever show up before us again.
