(Episode 8)
Hey, Dad.
- Why isn't Suk Joon here? - I don't know.
He won't come out of his room.
- What about dinner? - He refused to eat.
Mom, can you set me up with that blind date again?
Have you lost your mind?
She also sent someone else that day.
But neither of us showed up, so it doesn't count as a blind date.
What's wrong with you?
- She's my ideal type. - What?
The moment I laid my eyes on her, my heart almost stopped beating.
You're always like this.
It was always the women who fell for me, not the other way around.
Mom, this time, I think my heart has really found the one.
Mom. Mom.
Suk Joon.
Attorney Kim says there's a chance you could get acquitted.
You've never been through anything like this,
and I know you're extremely shocked by it all.
But just think of it as a life lesson.
Dad.
Yes?
I don't want to take the bar exam.
Why would you give up? You're completely innocent.
I want you to reconsider.
The reason I wanted to become a prosecutor or a judge...
wasn't because I wanted to help the people in need...
or achieve a just society.
Not everyone becomes professionals with a grand purpose.
Dad.
People who want to become prosecutors, judges, or lawyers...
should always have a purpose.
I finally realized that.
I never should've studied for the bar exam.
Suk Joon.
Suk Joon is going to give up on the bar exam.
He was so enthusiastic about becoming a prosecutor.
My gosh, why did he have to get involved in something like this?
Are you serious?
Why don't you try talking to him?
Okay.
You need to eat well in order to grow tall.
You don't want to be shorter than your younger sibling.
When will I get one?
You need to wait a few more months.
- Do you look forward to it? - Yes.
Me too.
This small house is going to be crowded.
I don't like it when it's silent. It makes me feel lonely.
I can make you feel loved.
How?
It's so warm.
You have such a warm heart, Min Ho.
Hello?
Hi, Su Jeong. What brings you to call me?
Are you serious?
Did you really see Ms. Lee put that money inside my drawer?
Yes, I was there to return the attendance book.
And that's when I saw her put an envelope inside your drawer.
I had no idea you'd end up getting fired because of that.
Thank you so much for telling me.
The line is busy. You will be directed to voicemail...
I'm about to board the plane.
Call me as soon as you land.
Okay. Don't skip your meals.
Don't act like you care all of a sudden.
I'm just going to starve myself.
Hearing you talk that way puts me to ease.
I'll be off now.
She never listens.
The house feels so lonely. It's completely empty now.
- Who is it? - Is Eun Ju home?
She went to England.
- She went to England? - Yes.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
But who are you?
Hello?
- Did you really see her do that? - Yes.
- Are you definite? - Yes, I'm sure of it.
Okay, you may leave.
Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
I'd like my job back now that my name has been cleared.
We need to check with Ms. Lee.
She went to England.
Then how am I going to check?
Su Jeong saw everything.
We should hear what Ms. Lee has to say.
I can't reinstate you just because a student told me you're innocent.
Plus, you only have a month left on your contract.
What about my honor?
Even if there's only a month left, this is very important to me.
I'll talk to Ms. Lee and decide afterward.
So please just wait.
What if the contract ends by then?
That'd be a pity, but there's nothing we can do.
Just for your information, your contract will not be renewed.
Will you please say something?
You can't just plead the Fifth forever.
Will you please...
My gosh, darn it.
You need to talk!
My goodness.
- Is it yummy? - Yes.
Eat this and have fun, okay?
I'll bring you a lot of strawberries, Mom.
I can't wait.
- Who is it? - Open up.
Open up already.
What's going on?
I need you to move out.
Who are you? Why are you telling us to move out?
Mr. Park Tae Seob borrowed money from us...
and set the security deposit as collateral.
I signed the lease contract for this house myself.
Here. It says, "Oh Pil Jeong".
And this is your legal seal on the contract.
Yes, it's mine. But I wasn't the one who stamped this seal.
We even got this notarized,
so move out by the end of this week.
You can't just do this all of a sudden.
Your husband is dead.
Since he can't pay me back, I'm going to move in here myself.
So move out by the end of this week.
If you don't, I'll file an eviction suit.
Ms. Oh.
Can you come to the restaurant a bit early today?
We have a lot of customers today.
I'll pay you more than usual.
Can we have two more bowls of rice?
Okay.
Why are you giving up? You passed the preliminary exam.
Thank you for always being so kind to me.
You studied so hard.
I feel sad that you're quitting.
Goodbye, sir.
My gosh, what is this mss?
I'm sorry.
Hurry up and clean this up.
Okay.
It's all over you.
It's okay. I'll do it. Just leave it.
Wipe your hand.
Cheer up.
If you really want to quit taking the bar exam,
then I'll respect your decision.
I'm sorry.
But I want you to start working at the company.
I want you to learn the business.
You would've eventually worked at the company anyway...
even if you became a prosecutor or a judge.
He's only been studying for the bar exam.
He doesn't have what it takes to work at the company.
You also studied for the bar right before you started work.
That may be what you want.
But we should ask Suk Joon if he wants that, too.
What's the use?
He'll be working at the company anyway.
It's just a bit earlier than planned.
I want to go to England.
"England"?
Yes.
No, you can't go abroad in your current state.
I'm too worried to send you away.
I'm all for it.
I'll be good for Suk Joon.
If he stays here, he'll constantly be reminded of what happened.
But if he goes abroad and lives in a new environment,
it'll help him clear his mind and put everything behind him.
Why don't you just let him do what he wants?
Do you think I made the right choice, Leon?
If I stay here,
I think I'll end up hating my mom and brother.
He really must've gotten shocked because of what you said.
I can't believe he's leaving voluntarily.
This is a great chance for you.
Show your dad how competent you are...
and win some brownie points while Suk Joon is gone.
My gosh, okay.
I feel really enthusiastic now that he's about to leave.
Make sure to keep a straight face until he leaves.
Of course.
By the way, did you look into that woman I want to meet?
Did you talk to her or not?
She went abroad to study.
She went abroad to study? Where?
Why? Are you going to go after her?
Yes.
- My gosh. - Get to your senses.
Gosh, that hurts.
My gosh, it stings.
You're the successor of LX Group.
You need to marry someone from a powerful family...
in order to receive help when you're in need.
Dad was the one who set me up with her.
So what? You're going to marry someone from an ordinary family?
I don't care about her family. It's her that I want to...
Wait a minute.
I don't even know her name.
I'll find someone decent for you.
Focus on seizing the opportunity while Suk Joon is gone.
- Okay, fine. - Don't forget.
You're the owner of LX Group.
My gosh. Okay, I get it already.
You wanted to see me?
Did you really give up the bar and decide to go abroad...
because of what happened to Secretary Park?
Are you sure it's not because of your mom?
No.
I just need to go away and look back on myself.
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
Keep this in mind.
You're my son.
LX Group needs you.
Wherever you go, don't ever forget that.
Dad.
I plan to make you my successor.
And I know...
your mom and brother don't agree with that.
But the company needs a successor...
who's smart and competent.
I'll always be waiting for you to come back.
Okay.
My heart pounds just by thinking about her.
I can't believe we had to part as soon as we met.
The crown of a successor is truly hard to bear.
What do you want?
I have a favor to ask.
A... A favor?
Take care of Leon for me while I'm gone.
Me?
He's potty trained, and he loves people.
So he'll be a good dog once you show him some love.
Hey, ask the housekeeper.
He doesn't like sleeping alone.
So please sleep with him at night.
Hey, I should be sleeping with a woman.
But you want me to sleep with that darn dog?
My gosh.
Okay, fine.
Walk him at least once a week.
And give him a shower after you walk him.
You're asking for too much!
If you don't cooperate,
I won't be able to leave because of Leon.
Should I not go?
Who... Who told you not to go?
Okay, fine. I'll take care of him.
I thought I lived a hard-working life.
But I can't believe this is all I own.
Mom, are we moving?
- Yes. - Where to?
I don't know. I wonder where we could go.
- Hey, Ms. Kim. - Are you sleeping?
No.
I made some stuffed cucumber pickles.
You should drop by and take some on your way home tomorrow.
If you're busy, I can go to your place instead.
Then I'll get to see Min Ho.
No, I'll drop by your place.
Okay then. Is everything okay?
- Yes. - My goodness.
It's only been two days, but I'm already worried.
Bye then.
Okay, bye.
Wipe your hand.
Cheer up.
Is that handkerchief yours?
No.
It belongs to a person who has a kind heart just like yours.
Who's that?
I don't know.
The way he told me to cheer up felt warm and sad.
(Long-term lease available)
(Jangmi Motel)
Is this our new home?
We're going to stay here until we get a new place.
It's small, isn't it?
I'm fine as long as I get to sleep with you.
Does the hotteok grandma know that we live here?
Min Ho.
Don't tell Ms. Kim that we live here.
Why not?
Because she'll be worried. Okay?
Okay.
Sir.
Yes?
Remember the man who helped me clean the mess I made...
a few days ago?
He wore horn-rimmed glasses and had a beard.
Oh, him?
When is he coming back?
He gave up on taking the bar, so he won't be back.
I see.
But why do you ask?
No, it's nothing.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Choi.
What? You're staying at a motel?
- Yes. - What?
How can you sound so fine?
Well, I can't cry.
Crying won't make anything better.
If you called me, I would've let you stay at my place.
You already live with your grandparents,
a divorced aunt, and even your parents.
I can't ask you to let us stay there as well.
Ms. Choi.
I realized that it's best to feel at ease...
even though things might be a bit uncomfortable.
I prefer this rather than troubling others.
I do feel bad that Min Ho has to go to kindergarten...
from a motel every day.
But I'm sure this will become a happy memory in the future.
This is why I'm your fan.
My goodness.
Did they go somewhere?
My gosh.
Who are you?
Hello, I'm here to meet the people who live here.
They moved.
They moved? Why all of a sudden?
She didn't tell me anything yesterday.
How would I know?
She asked for her security deposit back,
but some strangers took the money.
What in the world...
What's going on?
Here's your meal.
Just a second.
(Ms. Kim)
I'm sorry.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Gosh, she won't even pick up. What's going on?
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Oh, my gosh.
My goodness.
- My gosh. - Goodness.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Who are you? No one lives there.
Is my sister not home?
Your sister?
Are you Min Ho's aunt from Australia?
Are you the hotteok grandma?
Yes.
Pil Jeong has told me so much about you.
Did you hear about Min Ho's dad?
I came as soon as I heard about it.
But where is my sister?
She apparently moved.
She moved?
- My goodness. - Hey!
- Hello. - Ms. Kim.
Hey, Min Ho. My goodness.
You're Min Ho, right?
You're my aunt, aren't you? I saw your photos.
Yes, I'm your aunt.
You're so cute, unlike your dad.
Min Ho, did you and your mom move?
- Yes. - Where to?
Well...
Enjoy your meal.
Ms. Oh! Ms. Oh!
- Ms. Oh! - What happened?
- Ms. Oh! My goodness! - Ms. Oh.
Call 911. Hurry.
My goodness gracious.
(Mom Has an Affair)
What did you just say?
- Get an abortion. - What?
Suk Joon is going to England because of you!
It was all a lie!
Everything is finding its place.
The last person he called was you, Mr. Kang Suk Hwan.
Are you doubting my son?
I have my ways.
Suk Joon is leaving now.
This will be a good chance for you.
You took a long break.
I'm going to live a diligent life.
I'm going to start over here.
If you're the same when I'm back, don't blame me for what happens.
You came back as a completely different person.
