(Episode 87)
Tell me.
Is Min Ho your son?
Yes.
Park Min Ho is my son.
How could...
Pil Jeong's son be yours?
Tell me.
Tell me how this is possible.
Ms. Oh's husband...
was the person who got orders from Mom...
to take my son to an orphanage.
He got greedy and wanted the money I gave to Mi Ae,
so he offered to take care of her and the baby.
But after a while, Mi Ae ended up running away.
And he eventually got married to Ms. Oh.
I can't believe this.
I was pretty shocked myself.
So what are you going to do?
Are you going to bring Min Ho home?
Of course.
Pil Jeong raised Min Ho like her own son.
But you're going to take him away from her?
I'll compensate her.
I'll give her enough money to thank her...
for having raised Min Ho.
What?
You abandoned your son and didn't even look for him until now.
And what? You're going to pay her?
Were you always such a terrible person?
From what I heard, she's struggling financially.
So wouldn't it be best for me to compensate her with money?
Are you serious?
That's enough!
No one expected this.
We're going to bring Min Ho...
no matter who raised him.
If you take him away from Pil Jeong,
that would be like cutting off her hands and feet.
But that won't kill her.
Dad, did you also know?
Did you also know that Pil Jeong's son, Min Ho,
was the child that Suk Hwan abandoned?
You can't do this.
Make him stop.
Suk Hwan is just trying to bring his son home.
Why can't he do that?
Pil Jeong raised Min Ho like her own.
She also has a daughter.
Just tell her to raise the daughter she gave birth to.
Mom.
That's enough. Both of you.
Don't mess with Min Ho.
Suk Joon.
Bring Min Ho home.
I already agreed to accept him,
so it doesn't matter even if he's Pil Jeong's son.
Thank you, Eun Ju.
It's actually for the better.
Because of this,
Suk Joon and Pil Jeong won't be able to get married.
You're right.
I know it'll be hard for you once we bring Min Ho home.
But I'll be a better husband.
Mom, I'm sleepy.
Aren't we going home?
Why don't we sleep at a hotel tonight?
Why do you suddenly want to sleep at a hotel?
Then should we go on a trip? Should we go to the beach?
I want to go home.
Min Ho.
What are we doing right now? It's like we ran away from home.
Is there a reason why we can't go home?
If you want to go on a trip, you can go by yourself.
Min Ho.
Mom, can we also go home now?
Please?
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after...
Pil Jeong.
Suk Joon.
Pil Jeong.
Aunt Soon Jeong.
Let's go inside, you guys.
I heard about Min Ho.
I can't believe this.
Your brother is lying, right?
Something must be wrong.
Is it true?
How is this possible? How?
What if they take Min Ho away from me?
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to make you suffer in the middle.
And I was scared...
that they might barge in and take Min Ho away from me.
That's why I left home with the kids.
Min Ho is my son. I won't let anyone take him away.
You're right.
No matter what they say,
Min Ho is your son.
Just forget about everything and get some rest.
I'll do everything I can...
to convince my brother to change his mind.
Min Ho is the son of whom?
His father is Suk Joon's older brother?
Yes.
My goodness, this is unbelievable.
Is that why you ran away? Because you got scared?
I felt like he might come home and take him away today.
All I could think of...
was that I should make sure he never meets Min Ho.
I had no idea that Tae Seob wasn't...
Min Ho's biological father.
When Tae Seob died, he told me...
that Min Ho isn't his son.
What?
I think I heard him say "LX Group".
But back then, I had no idea what that meant.
You raised Min Ho without even knowing whose son he was.
- Min Ho is my son. - Pil Jeong.
I almost ran away once because of Tae Seob.
But Min Ho...
held onto me and asked me...
to take him with me if I'm trying to run away.
I couldn't leave him there...
all by himself.
So you just stayed there?
You're really something.
Soon Jeong.
I'm never going to let them take Min Ho away from me.
Thanks to that story about your niece,
my daughter decided not to get a divorce.
See? What did I tell you?
Now that it's settled, you should come out to dance.
My gosh.
I'm not going to dance.
I can't dance.
Then you should just come and watch.
You'll forget about all your worries just by watching people dance.
And it'll help you relieve your stress.
No, forget about dancing. I'll buy you a nice meal next time.
When is Eun Ju planning to bring Suk Hwan's son home?
It's one hurdle after another.
Why?
Do you know whom Suk Hwan's son is?
It turns out he's Ms. Oh's son.
What?
Min Ho is Suk Hwan's son?
I'm worried Ms. Oh might not give him up.
That's absurd.
How could you think of taking her son away from her?
Then what about Eun Ju?
He's Suk Hwan's son, so she should raise him.
Eun Ja.
You'd better not give Eun Ju a hard time...
by taking Ms. Oh's side.
My friends told me that I don't have a dad anymore.
But Mom.
I don't think I need a dad.
I don't need a scary dad. All I need is you, Mom.
Don't go, Mom.
If you're going to go, take me with you.
Min Ho.
Mom, were you going to run away?
No, that's not what I was going to do.
Mom, what's wrong with your face?
I fell down.
Don't get hurt.
If you get hurt, it makes me feel sad.
This is the biggest sword I have.
What are you going to do with that?
I'll protect you with this.
From now on, I'll carry this around...
and make sure no one hurts you.
You wouldn't have gotten hurt yesterday...
if I had this with me.
What?
Come here. Let me hug you.
Don't go to the academy. Just stay home.
I skipped class yesterday, so I need to go.
I'm not going to go to work either, so just stay here with me.
Mom, what's the matter with you?
I'll be back after I'm done with my academy.
- Min Ho. - Mr. Kang.
Have you been well?
Min Ho, you should go. Hurry.
Okay.
Bye.
What brings you here?
You seemed to know everything. That's why I came.
It's time we talk about Min Ho.
Are you sure Min Ho is your son?
I even did a DNA test.
(DNA Paternity Testing: Kang Suk Hwan, Park Min Ho)
(Match, Match, Match...)
(Probability of Parentage: A 99.9 percent match)
How did my husband end up with your son?
Well, you see,
when Min Ho was a little baby,
we asked your husband to take Min Ho to an orphanage.
You told my husband to take Min Ho to an orphanage?
That was the best we could in that situation.
But your husband got greedy for money,
so he offered to take care of Min Ho's mother...
and Min Ho.
You see, we gave Min Ho's mother a huge amount of compensation.
Where is Min Ho's biological mother?
She's married and lives in the States.
She was the one who told me...
that my son was left with your husband.
How do you know my husband?
When you talk about Min Ho to Pil Jeong and Suk Joon,
tell them we weren't acquainted with Park Tae Seob.
If they find out that he used to be our secretary,
they might get suspicious of us regarding his death.
We called for someone to take care of the job,
and your husband showed up.
He was willing to do anything for money.
Thank you...
for raising my child.
I'll give you enough money to compensate.
"Compensate"?
I don't need to receive compensation for having raised my own child.
Min Ho is my son.
I'm not going to let anyone take him away from me.
Ms. Oh.
You tried to send him to an orphanage...
when he was just a baby.
Just pretend like you don't know where he is...
and leave him alone.
I'm going to bring my son home.
You lived fine without him for 14 years.
But I can't live without him even for a single day.
You should go now.
Think about what will be best for Min Ho.
I'll be back.
Who was that?
Was that Min Ho's father?
Soon Jeong.
What if they take Min Ho from me?
I can't live a single day without him.
What if they take him away from me?
Pil Jeong.
Suk Hwan.
Hey, Tae Woo. What are you doing here?
I live here at Soon Jeong's place.
What are you doing here? Did you come here for me?
No, not exactly.
You should move back home.
Things will get complicated if you stay here.
What's that supposed to mean?
What's going on? Why was my brother-in-law here?
Your brother-in-law is so mean.
Why?
He's trying to take Min Ho away from us.
What?
Hello.
Hi. Have you been well?
Yes. But what brings you here?
Are you on your way to my house?
No, I was just passing by.
How old were you again?
14 years old.
I see.
Is Ms. Oh not coming to work again?
She must be really sick.
She's going to take a few days off.
I can't believe she was brave enough to take a few days off...
when she's just an intern.
Will this make her lose a few points for the internship?
Of course.
But she's sick. Isn't it a bit harsh...
to deduct points for that?
That's life.
Let's start our meeting.
Mom. Mom.
Why you are back?
Did you finally realize there's no better place like home?
No, that's not it. Mom, do you know Suk Hwan has a son?
Then is it also true that he's Soon Jeong's nephew?
Yes.
My gosh, so it's all true?
Who told you this?
Suk Hwan came to Soon Jeong's house just now.
Soon Jeong's house?
Is that where you live?
- Yes. - Did you move in with her?
No, they had an empty room for me,
so I'm staying there.
- That's not important. - Get out.
I can't believe she lured you into her house.
You should just live there. Now, get out.
You're not my son anymore. Leave.
Okay, I'll leave.
Don't ever come back again.
Both my children are giving me such a hard time.
My goodness, honey.
Sir, I'm sure you also know everything.
Here is my resignation letter.
I think I wanted too much when I applied for the job here.
I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable.
I'd like to live a quiet life with my kids.
Does that mean you're going to break up with Suk Joon?
I never once thought of Min Ho as someone else's son.
I may not have provided him with much,
but my love for him was never lacking.
Please help me, sir.
I can't live without Min Ho.
If he finds out about his biological father,
he'll have a hard time.
Please, sir.
Suk Hwan can't have kids.
The procedure didn't go well either.
That's why he looked for his son.
So are you saying you're going to take Min Ho?
My son is selfish for wanting his son back...
after having abandoned him.
But don't you think you're also selfish...
for not letting Min Ho be with his family?
I feel like you're all thinking about what you want.
And that breaks my heart.
You also raised Suk Joon like your own...
even though he wasn't your son.
So I thought you'd understand better than anyone.
That's why I'm here listening to you...
instead of being selfish about bringing home my grandson.
You gave him a resignation letter?
Instead, I asked the chairman...
not to take Min Ho away from me.
What did he say?
Min Ho is his grandson, so it looks like he wants him too.
Suk Hwan is very persistent about bringing him home.
He's so selfish.
What am I going to say to Min Ho?
This isn't right for him.
I raised him, so I'm his real mother.
(Resignation Letter)
Ms. Oh gave me this resignation letter.
You should keep it...
and return it to her when the time is right.
Are you saying...
Right now, she probably doesn't want to come to work...
because she's surrounded by people who are trying to take Min Ho away.
But once he leaves,
she'll need a job to take her mind off him.
Are you planning to bring him home?
I do understand why your mother and brother want to bring him home.
Dad.
Suk Hwan can't have babies.
He wants to make up for the past...
and be a good dad.
He doesn't need...
to bring Min Ho home to be a good dad.
There are other ways to take care of him.
I don't know.
I don't think Suk Hwan will agree with that.
He didn't even care about him up until now.
It's so shameless of him to want him back...
just because he's the father.
Pil Jeong raised Min Ho,
and you of all people should know how she feels right now.
You're the only person...
who can help Pil Jeong.
Is Pil Jeong home?
No, she's not. Who are you?
Are you Tae Woo's girlfriend?
Are you his older sister?
Your sister used to keep Suk Joon here,
and now you're doing that with my brother?
Tae Woo wanted to stay.
I bet you coaxed him into staying here.
That's probably how you married your husband.
What?
How arrogant of you to talk to me that way.
If you're trying to take my nephew, you'd better think twice.
What do you know?
Min Ho isn't an easy kid to handle.
If you think it's going to be easy, you'll end up regretting it.
I'm not that nice either.
Yes, I bet.
I can tell by how you got my sister fired from school...
by framing her for having accepted money from a parent.
It looks like Pil Jeong gossiped about me behind my back.
"Gossip"?
So are you going to keep letting my brother stay here?
Yes, that's my plan.
You're quite fearless.
My sister might've let you have things your way.
But I'm not like her.
I won't give up on the person I love.
Let's see how long that will last.
I thought I knew everything about Pil Jeong.
Isn't she incredible?
Yes, she is.
She raised him like her own even though he wasn't...
her son or Tae Seob's.
She could've given up on him...
considering how hard it was for her to raise two kids.
But I never heard her say anything like that.
Every time I asked about Min Ho's biological mom,
she ended the conversation by saying she's his mother.
But I'm even more shocked that Suk Joon's older brother...
is Min Ho's dad.
What if they take Min Ho away from us?
- Does Min Ho know? - No, of course not.
Pil Jeong is worried that Min Ho might find out.
I feel so bad for her.
Where were you?
I met Mr. Kang's mom.
Seeing that she's nice to me,
it looks like she's going to let you marry Mr. Kang.
What's that?
I didn't want to accept it, but she kept insisting.
So you took it?
She told me it'll be fine.
Give me that.
Stop confusing him with gifts,
and don't ever visit him again.
Why can't I meet my grandson?
Your house and neighborhood...
isn't really the best environment for a kid to grow up in.
Even if that's the case, Min Ho is still happy and healthy.
That's what you think.
He seems like a bright kid.
But what exactly did you do to support him?
He's good on his own.
Times have changed.
What kind of kid studies by himself without receiving any support?
How many times did you send him abroad to study a new language?
And where did you hold his birthday parties?
What kind of sport did you make him do?
Swimming? Golf?
Or horseback riding?
He may not have learned any of that,
but he's still growing up to be a magnificent kid.
He's an intelligent kid,
but you've been raising him like a blockhead.
Think about where he should grow up...
in order for him to have a better future.
If you truly care for him,
you should be ready to sacrifice yourself.
Don't you agree?
I can't believe I got involved with you again.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
I'm sure you were shocked when you heard about Min Ho.
Of course I was shocked. I never even imagined it.
If you refuse to raise Min Ho,
your husband and mother-in-law...
won't take Min Ho away from me.
So please do me a favor.
Please convince your husband to change his mind.
I plan to bring Min Ho to our house.
Min Ho is my son.
No, he's Suk Hwan's son.
That means he's my son, too.
Do you really think you can raise him like your own?
If you could do it, I can do it too.
You told me...
that you have a child, but I don't.
I can't believe you bragged when he wasn't even your child.
Now, he's my son. I'm going to raise him.
Now, give me Suk Hwan's son.
(Mom Has an Affair)
You want us to tell Min Ho?
- Yes, have him decide. - Min Ho.
If Ms. Oh's son is Suk Hwan's son,
what does that mean for you guys?
Even if I wasn't in the picture,
you and Ms. Oh wouldn't be able to get married.
Who are you?
When you're here, you shouldn't ask people's names, age,
or their marital status.
Just call me Mr. Oh.
What if Min Ho decides to live with his dad?
Is it yummy?
- I don't think I can take it. - Yes.
Min Ho, I have something to tell you.
