(Episode 66)
It's honey water. Have a sip.
It looked like you had a few drinks yesterday.
How did you know?
I noticed that you came home very late last night.
Didn't you skip breakfast because you had a hangover?
Thank you.
You should eat a nice bowl of soup for lunch to cure your hangover.
If you lived with your parents,
they would've taken better care of you.
Suk Joon.
I couldn't stand hearing people criticize...
my birth mother.
It turns out...
I was nothing.
That's what I liked about you.
I didn't like you because you were the chairman's son...
or because you were rich.
I liked you as Kim Min Cheol,
the lodger who was staying at my house.
And you're your mother's son.
That already means you're special.
I'm glad you came to see your mother.
My gosh, why would you go there?
She's my work colleague, and her mother's hospitalized.
I can't just stay home.
She's not even her birth mother, and she's unconscious.
There's no point in going.
She's more than a mother to her. They lived together like a family.
Why would you go when her own son...
hasn't even visited her?
I'm going there to console Soon Jeong.
You can't even run the restaurant without her.
She should be the one consoling you.
Mom, I never took you to be this cold-hearted.
Why do you always disapprove of everything...
that's related to Soon Jeong?
Okay, fine. Then I'll go with you.
I won't have my son telling me that I'm cold-hearted.
Lead the way.
You're unbelievable.
If you have time to go there, just stay home and take a nap.
Can you hear me?
Even though I had a mom,
I always longed for some motherly love.
I bet you don't know how much it hurt to feel that way.
Why didn't you look for me?
If you did, I would've been able to live with you in Seogye-dong.
All I needed was a mom.
I'm so upset about how much time we've wasted.
And that's why I resent you.
I have so much to say to you.
And I'm sure you have a lot to say to me.
So please wake up.
Wake up...
and say something.
It's all my fault.
If I was honest about everything from the beginning,
none of this would've happened.
Were you keeping in touch with my birth mother?
No.
I went to a bar in Garibong-dong one day,
and I saw her working in the kitchen by coincidence.
She had a heart disease, and she seemed severely ill.
But she was carrying you on her back...
and was trying so hard to make a living.
And that really broke my heart.
After I brought you home,
I came back to visit her at the hospital.
But she was already gone.
I thought your birth mother was dead.
And that's how I ended up raising you.
I knew how my wife would react,
so I told her you were my son...
hoping that she wouldn't mistreat you.
It would've been better...
if you had told me the truth.
I had no idea that your birth mother would be alive.
I didn't want to hurt you like this.
I'm sorry.
That's Grandma's treasure.
Yes, I want to show it to Mr. Kang.
Where is he?
He's at the hospital with your grandma.
I want to go too. I miss him.
Okay, let's go once Min Ho comes home.
I wonder if there's anything else I could take for your grandma.
What's up?
- I'll be off now. - Okay.
Bye.
"KSJ".
"Kim Seung Jae".
Calm down, ma'am!
Calm down.
I'm good. Move.
Even if you don't wake up,
think of it as a price you need to pay for not looking for your son.
It's the price you need to pay for making my husband...
lie to me and my son so he could help your son.
I won't pity you at all even if you end up dying.
Every time I wanted your attention and acknowledgement,
Suk Joon always got in the way.
"Take good care of Suk Joon."
"At least be as good as Suk Joon."
"Why can't you be like Suk Joon?"
I wanted you to be strong.
That's why I was so harsh to you.
No.
To me, it just felt like you were favoring Suk Joon over me.
And if I felt that way, that means I'm right.
You were an only child,
so I wanted you guys to be brothers who could rely on each other.
You're my son, so I had faith in you.
And I just felt bad for Suk Joon since he no longer had any parents.
Didn't you feel bad for me?
Your mother always gave you more than enough attention.
Just like how Suk Joon longed for Mom's attention,
I was also desperate to hear you speak to me with warmth.
I deserved to be loved by my father.
But because of Suk Joon, I had to beg for it!
Now,
there's no reason or justification...
for me to accept Suk Joon.
He lived as your younger brother for 30 years!
You have no idea how much that tormented me!
Now,
I want everything that's yours.
I'm going to take everything...
that Suk Joon took from me including interest!
Everything!
- Mr. Kang. - Min Ji.
Have you been well?
You never even called. You're so mean.
I'm sorry. Were you upset?
Yes, we were.
But we're okay now that we got to see you.
How is Grandma doing?
Go on inside.
Did you talk to her a little?
I know I missed her,
but it felt a bit awkward to actually see her in front of me.
And I still can't believe she's my mother.
The fact that you're here is enough to make her happy.
I should've looked for her before she collapsed.
Oh, right.
It turns out you've been keeping something of hers.
KSJ meant Kim Seung Jae.
I thought I got this from my mother in Hannam-dong.
When you left,
she must've packed this with you so you wouldn't forget her.
Kang Suk Joon isn't Chairman Kang's son?
No, he isn't. Isn't it shocking?
I never even imagined that.
It turns out Suk Joon was a nobody.
My mother-in-law says she won't forgive my father-in-law...
for having lied to her for dozens of years.
If I were in her shoes, I'd feel the same way.
She had to live her life in resentment...
because of someone else's son.
I wouldn't be surprised even if she beat him to a pulp.
Suk Hwan also resents his father.
Imagine what would've happened if you married Kang Suk Joon.
I get the chills just by thinking about it.
Kang Suk Joon is hopeless now.
What do you mean?
Why is he hopeless?
Kang Suk Joon isn't Chairman Kang's son.
What?
Did you get the flowers I sent you?
You haven't forgotten about me, have you?
It's me, Kim Cheol Gyu.
Why are you so pale? Who sent you a text?
No, it's no one.
You've been staring at her all day.
I think you're a lot like your mother.
Especially your eyes.
They make the other person feel warm at heart.
Mom. Mom, are you awake?
Pil Jeong.
Mom.
Seung Jae.
Thank you for waking up.
I'm sorry about everything.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Kim Bok Soon.
Do you recognize them?
They're my children.
(Choi Dong Seok)
She regained her consciousness, so that's good.
- Do you know him? - No, let's just go.
Tae Su,
your father, almost drowned...
when he was young.
My father...
saved him,
but he himself couldn't get out of the water.
After what happened,
my mother passed away,
and my brother and I...
ended up getting sent to an orphanage.
Your father lived his entire life in guilt...
because of what happened to our family.
What kind of person was my biological father?
His family disapproved of our marriage,
but he still protected me.
He was extremely happy...
when you were born.
But in less than a year,
he died due to an accident.
I'm sorry...
for not looking for you.
We already packed your stuff knowing that you'd come.
Thanks.
If I think about...
how much I was discriminated because of a nobody like you,
it makes me want to punch you in the face.
I'm sure it was tough for you.
But I honestly wanted to get along.
We could've motivated each other to compete and become good partners.
I don't get why things had to end up this way.
This is...
all because of you and Dad.
If Dad hadn't lied to us saying you were his son...
I feel bad for Dad.
Good.
At least one of us should feel that way about him...
because Mom and I can't forgive him for what he did.
Now,
you have absolutely nothing to do with our family...
and the company.
I lived all my life...
thinking that I was your family, but it all became meaningless.
It's sad that my past 30 years is about to turn into dust.
I'm not interested in hearing how you feel right now.
If you're even the slightest bit sorry,
don't ever show up again.
That's...
the last thing you can do for us.
You wish to get discharged?
I want to go home, Dr. Choi.
I want to go home and live with my son.
You need to rest.
It's so suffocating here.
I feel more comfortable at home.
Please do me a favor, Dr. Choi.
Then come straight to the hospital the moment you don't feel well.
Don't just delay it, okay?
Okay, I won't.
Aunt, aren't you going to work?
That's not important right now.
Your grandma's coming home, so the house should be spotless.
I'm so glad she's finally coming back.
Is Grandma getting discharged?
Yes, but she hasn't recovered.
So don't make her do any work.
She's still sick.
- Okay. - Okay.
Sir, I'm here.
What? Oh, hey.
You wanted to see me?
Yes.
Ae Sim isn't your sister's real name.
What do you mean?
Then what about Ae Sim?
It's what we used to call her...
when she came to work for us as a housekeeper.
What's her real name?
You mentioned her name when you were here last time.
Are you saying...
Yes, her name is Kim Bok Soon.
"Kim Bok Soon"?
She doesn't have a kid, right?
She didn't have one when she left her hometown.
Are you saying she could've had a baby in Seoul?
Who knows? I have no idea how she lived in Seoul.
Did you meet Kim Bok Soon?
There's a woman who has the same name.
If she's acquainted with Kang Tae Su,
I'm pretty sure that means she's your older sister.
I waited so long for my son to come find me here.
And in the end, he really came.
Do you remember the day when he first came to our house?
Hello. I'm Kim Min Cheol,
your new lodger as of today.
Welcome.
She's my mom, and her name is Kim Bok Soon.
He's my nephew, Min Ho. And she's my niece, Min Ji.
Welcome.
I look forward to living with you guys.
It was my first time meeting him that day,
but he didn't feel unfamiliar.
You must've felt that way because he's your son.
By the way, do you think Suk Joon isn't going to come?
He told me he'll be here.
Do you think he might've gone back to his house in Hannam-dong?
Suk Joon.
I'm here,
Mom.
Welcome home, my son.
- Grandma! - Hey.
My goodness. My little puppy.
I'm not your puppy.
It's Jumbak.
Yes, I missed Jumbak as well.
Where's Min Ho?
He's on his way home from the academy.
He called just now.
Soon Jeong is also going to come home early today.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Mr. Kang, are you going to live with us again?
Do you want that?
Yes.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Go on inside, Jumbak.
It's nice to be home.
I'm also glad that you're back to where you belong.
I'll bring you some food.
I remember how you held my hand while I was asleep.
I didn't want to embarrass you, so I pretended to be sleeping.
You caught me.
You knew I was your son, didn't you?
Now that I think of it, you were very unusual,
but I didn't notice.
You probably had no idea that I was your mother.
Sometimes, I thought to myself...
that it'd be nice to have a mother like you.
Every time I thought that way,
I felt guilty toward my mom and tried to ignore it.
The fact that you thought of me like that...
is more than enough.
It must've been so tough to endure it all by yourself.
You've been through so much.
Suk Joon.
I'm just grateful to have a mother who's so kind and warm like you.
Thank you...
for giving birth to me.
From now on, let's live together in this house where I was born.
- What are you doing? - I'm cooking porridge.
I'll stir it.
You haven't been here in a while, have you?
Yes, it's been a while. I honestly missed this place.
Everything about this house felt so uncomfortable at first.
But it suddenly started to feel like home.
I'm sure things will get comfortable with your mom as well.
I moved out of my house in Hannam-dong...
so I could be with my mom.
She must be thrilled.
But I have to say, I'm also happy that you're here.
Let me help you get up.
Suk Joon cooked this for you.
Really?
He's such a warm-hearted kid.
That's because he's your son.
Pil Jeong.
Thank you for everything.
I was so happy thanks to you.
Why would you say that?
It's time you become even happier now that your son is here.
I'm the happiest I've ever been.
Because your son is here?
Because I have both of you.
Now, you're not only my daughter, but you're also my daughter-in-law.
Mom.
Even if things get hard,
don't ever let go of Suk Joon's hand, okay?
Please stay by his side...
whenever he's having a hard time.
Okay.
Now, we just need to find your younger brother.
You should stay healthy until you get to meet your brother.
- Mom. - Grandma.
- Hey. - Mom.
My goodness gracious.
Don't be sick again.
I'm so glad that you're here, Grandma.
Me too.
I missed you guys, so I dropped by for a while.
Are you going to go back to the hospital?
You need to stay healthy and live with us for a long time.
I feel so relieved now that you're here.
I'll always protect you and Min Ji, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
My goodness.
How are you so adorable?
When will you start growing new teeth?
Hey, there it is.
You have new teeth.
Where did the patient go?
Ms. Kim Bok Soon? She got discharged.
If you're going to meet her,
can you make sure she gets this?
She forgot to take it with her when she left.
Okay.
Is she really my sister?
(Mom Has an Affair)
It's all for the best.
Gather the executives for a meeting, and don't tell your father.
They decided to dismiss Director Kang Suk Joon?
Who in the world made that decision?
The pendant was cut in half.
Where's the other piece?
My mom's little brother probably has it.
He was adopted overseas.
- I want to protect... - Suk Joon.
my mom's house in Seogye-dong.
Please help me do that.
You crazy jerk. I'm married.
I don't think you're in the place to be so arrogant.
Eun Ju.
