Are you my real dad?
Yes, I... I am.
I'm... I'm your real dad.
Then why did you abandon me?
Why did you abandon me when you have such a stable life?
Well... You see...
My mom raised me even though she struggled.
But what about you? Why did you abandon me?
Tell me why you abandoned me.
Back then,
I wasn't in my right mind.
I was too flustered. I didn't know what to do.
But you still managed to think of abandoning me!
You didn't need me then. But do you suddenly need me now?
You don't have kids, do you?
Do you suddenly need me because you don't have kids?
Hey, how could you say that?
Stay quiet.
Weren't you even curious about me up until now?
Why did you suddenly show up?
Did you think...
I'd greet you and live with you if you came to see me?
I'm sorry.
You abandoned me,
so it's my turn to abandon you.
I don't need a dad.
Don't ever come see me again.
- Min Ho. - Min Ho!
I bet Pil Jeong made him say that.
Are you kidding me right now?
Min Ho.
Min Ho came to our house in Hannam-dong.
Min Ho.
What kind of a dad abandons his own kid?
I don't need a dad like him.
I'm going to abandon him, too.
Min Ho.
All I need is you, Mom.
I'm going to live with you.
Okay.
I won't let you leave either. All I need is you.
It's okay.
This is unbelievable.
I'm still going to bring him home.
You were speechless in front of Min Ho.
You abandoned him when he was a baby,
and now you want him back only because you need him.
That's why I want to make up for it and be a good dad from now on.
You brazen punk.
You're just going to give up on our bloodline...
just because he doesn't want to come here?
Who knows? Pil Jeong might've told him to say that.
Didn't you see him earlier?
Imagine how sad and hurt he must've been...
to say that to you.
That's not something anyone can force him to say.
He might be like that now,
but we can convince him.
Don't go there taking turns trying to convince him.
You'll only give him a hard time.
Then are you saying we should let him live with Ms. Oh?
You abandoned your son.
Why can't he abandon you?
How is Min Ho?
I saw him fall asleep.
Yesterday, he acted like he was okay...
because he was worried about me.
But he must've been heartbroken deep down inside.
He told my dad and brother...
that he wishes to live with you.
Then does that settle everything?
I don't know.
I'm not sure if your sister and brother-in-law will accept it.
I'll deal with them. You guys should go to work.
- Go on. - Okay.
Are you...
really going to let Kang Min Ho live as Park Min Ho?
Are you going to make Suk Hwan part with his own son?
He shouldn't have abandoned his son in the first place.
He lost his right to be a parent the moment he abandoned his child.
He told you why he couldn't help but do that.
Blood is thicker than water.
Min Ho will want to be with his family once he grows older.
So what's your point?
Just wait.
He needs to pay for having abandoned his child.
So tell him to wait until Min Ho comes around.
How long will that take?
What if he never comes around?
Are you still going to make him wait?
How can you be so laid-back?
You're the one who abandoned him...
and prevented me from recognizing my own grandson.
Do you think I don't want to bring him home?
Then let's bring him home.
If you don't do it, I will.
What are you going to do?
We have power and money.
There will be a way.
He could become the successor of the company.
I can't let him live with someone else.
Make sure you do as I say, okay?
Okay.
If we listen to your father,
we'll never be able to bring your son home.
Eun Ju and I were talking about it.
And we're even ready to take things to court.
Of course.
When it comes to the overall environment for childcare,
we have the upper hand compared to Pil Jeong.
What matters is that we have a higher chance of raising him...
in a better environment.
Deep down inside, your father also wants to bring Min Ho home.
Then he won't be against taking things to court, right?
Don't worry about him. Just do what you need to do.
Okay.
What brings you here?
Didn't you move out?
I came to talk about Eun Ju.
Tell her to give up on Min Ho.
What?
Min Ho went to Hannam-dong...
and told them that he wants to live with his mom.
So tell Eun Ju to give up.
Now that you're living there, you've become one of them.
You don't care how hard this must be for Eun Ju, do you?
What do you mean?
Your brother-in-law is infertile.
Their bloodline might end.
That's why they want to bring the kid home.
Are you serious?
I've given up on the fact that you're living with them,
but if you support the woman who's making your sister suffer,
I won't stand still.
How do you feel?
I'm okay.
I thought you were all grown up.
But you're still just a little kid.
So I'm actually relieved. It looks like you still need a mom.
I bet you were really worried...
when I went to Hannam-dong.
Yes.
To be honest, I didn't want to tell you until you grew up.
I'm sorry.
I also didn't want you to know...
that I knew.
I'm hungry now.
Do you want me to grill some meat for you?
How did you know I wanted meat?
You always crave meat after you recover.
Really?
Yes.
They can't have babies.
That's why they're trying to bring Min Ho home.
My sister can't have babies because of my brother-in-law.
So don't hate my sister too much.
Then do you think Min Ho should live with them?
I don't know. Everyone has a reason behind everything.
So it's hard to take sides.
Even so, I'm still on my sister's side.
Let's go home.
Today, I'll walk from afar...
and see if anyone follows you.
Okay.
Who are you? Why are you following her?
She's my girlfriend. Get off me.
She's your girlfriend? Then why are you walking behind her?
Who are you?
- Let me go! - Tae Woo, it's him!
What?
He was the guy who followed me.
I should've caught him.
He's so fast for his age.
He actually got angry at me for following you.
Tae Woo, are you okay?
Why are there so many weirdos in this neighborhood?
Thank goodness you were here.
They're croquettes.
Give them to Min Ho and Min Ji.
Thank you.
You seem a lot better...
now that Min Ho is doing okay.
Really?
I'm just relieved that Min Ho feels better now.
You should come back to work.
My dad rejected your resignation letter.
- He did? - Yes.
Is it because you don't want to see Eun Ju and Suk Hwan?
Min Ho chose to live with you.
He'd want you to go back to living a cheerful life.
I'll think about it.
Pil Jeong, some guy kept following me.
It was really scary.
- Really? - Yes.
So today, I came home with Tae Woo.
But he followed me today as well.
You should also be careful when you come home at night.
He's right. You should also be careful.
I'll be careful.
I actually have something for you.
It's a whistle.
You got this for us?
Carry it around for self-defense.
Thank you.
Let's go inside.
Pil Jeong, did you also hear...
that Tae Woo's brother-in-law is infertile?
Yes.
That means they won't easily give up on Min Ho.
Eun Ju already told me that she's willing to take things to court.
Are you serious?
I don't know if she meant it or not.
But I'm hoping they won't take it that far...
if they really care about Min Ho.
I wouldn't be surprised. It's Tae Woo's sister.
It looks like Tae Woo feels a bit confused...
after having heard about his sister's situation.
But don't worry. We have Min Ho.
Min Ho consoled me.
I was so embarrassed about how hard I tried...
not to have him taken away from me.
I guess I didn't trust him as much as I thought I did.
I feel so bad about that.
Min Ho must've told his dad...
that he wants to live with his mom.
Min Ho found out?
Yes.
Ms. Oh's voice sounded a lot better after what happened.
That's good to hear.
Did you call because you were worried about Ms. Oh?
I wanted to know how she's doing.
Why don't you ask her yourself?
If I keep visiting her,
it might make her feel uncomfortable.
Are you that scared of Ms. Oh?
I'm kidding.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be joking around...
considering how much you like her.
It's okay.
I'm sorry you need to go through this.
I'm just relieved to hear that Ms. Oh and Min Ho...
are overcoming this.
Thank you. Bye.
Who was that?
Oh, it was Ms. Choi.
Do you call her often?
Last time, you guys even drank together.
I had something to ask her.
Really?
- What are you doing? - I'm getting ready for the academy.
Why don't you get some more rest?
I'm really okay.
Stop worrying about me and start going back to work.
I had no idea why you kept trying to take me to places.
I'm sorry I got so annoyed.
You didn't know what was going on.
I won't go anywhere.
If they come see me again, I'll tell you right away.
So you should start going to work again.
That will make me feel a lot more at ease.
Okay.
Do you feel better now?
Interns aren't normally allowed to take so many days off...
like you did.
I'm sorry.
Instead, I'll work harder and make up for it.
Ms. Oh started coming back to work.
The meeting will start in a few minutes.
Let's go.
Did you tell Min Ho to come to our house...
and say all those stuff?
Min Ho will eventually change his mind,
and we'll even take things to court in order to bring him home.
If we take things to court, the person who can provide...
a better environment for the child will have the upper hand.
You'll lose the fight.
Just because you're financially well-off...
doesn't mean you can raise him well.
That's what poor people think.
We're going to give Min Ho everything he wants.
What exactly have you done for Min Ho?
I did the best I could for him.
Yes, I'm sure you did. But you can only do that much.
Min Ho wants to live with me. You should respect his decision.
Do you think he wants to stay because he likes you?
It's because he feels bad.
He wants to leave,
but he feels bad about leaving the person who raised him.
Don't you think you should let him go?
I know Min Ho better than you do.
Don't make him suffer by taking things to court.
You'll try to get what you want by using money,
but we have something you don't.
I'm talking about all those years we spent with Min Ho.
Do you think you can beat us with that?
The law will acknowledge the time we spent with him...
and also respect his decision.
What matters most is that he's Suk Hwan's son.
Suk Hwan is his biological father.
And there's nothing you can do to deny that.
No one can stop...
a father from raising his own son.
The winner of the trial is pretty obvious, isn't it?
Why are you here?
I just wanted a chance to explain.
Go ahead. Let's hear your excuse.
"Excuse"?
Okay.
You were right about everything. I have nothing to say about that.
But I want to be a good dad to you although it's a bit late.
I told you that I don't need a dad.
You may feel that way, but I don't.
I blame myself for not raising you back then.
I'm regretting it.
There's nothing you can do to change my mind.
Whom do you take after? You're so hard-headed.
I know you're really angry at me right now.
But you will think about me...
once time goes by.
Do you know why? Because you're my son.
That won't ever happen.
I can't be bothered to talk to you, so stop coming.
Let me ask you one thing.
Okay, go ahead.
Where's my biological mother?
What? Oh, her?
She's... She's living in the States.
Is she married?
Yes.
So you were all doing fine even after abandoning me.
Are you going somewhere?
Did you know that Tae Woo has been living at Soon Jeong's house?
Yes.
You knew, but you didn't tell me?
If I told you, you would've gone there.
No, why would I?
I'm going to pretend like I don't have a son.
- Really? - Yes.
He can start a family there. I don't care.
Are you going to cut ties with Tae Woo?
I raised him all these years,
but he left his own mother for a girl.
So why should I care about him?
Once Eun Ju takes Ms. Oh's son,
he won't be able to stay there anyway.
Things will get awkward, and he'll have to leave.
I heard Min Ho decided to live with his mother.
You believe that? He's just a kid.
He'll eventually end up living with his father.
They're going to take him by force?
Of course.
He'll even take things to court if he has to. He's his son.
- Eun Ja. - Eun Ju and Suk Hwan need him...
in order for them to have a happy marriage.
Otherwise, they'll fall apart for not having any children.
They need to bring him home for Eun Ju's sake.
I thought this was for kids.
But I have to say, it's not bad, although it's a bit awkward.
Of course.
As we grow older,
we need to do what young people do in order to stay young.
By the way, what do you do for a living?
No.
We promised not to ask about each other.
The moment you find out about the other person's background,
you'll no longer be focused on the person in front of you.
Still, I need to know who you are.
No, no.
Don't be so biased.
Because we know nothing about each other,
there's no prejudice or any misunderstandings.
Seeing your face makes me imagine things.
Like what?
I wonder how you must've looked when you were young.
I bet you were really popular.
I won't deny that.
But I bet you're single now.
What?
Men will find it hard to approach you...
thinking that you're always with someone magnificent.
My goodness, you talk so eloquently.
Why aren't you letting go...
of Suk Hwan's son?
What?
Are you going to marry Suk Joon and raise him together?
You know Suk Joon can't marry you, right?
I feel so bad for you.
You lost your son, and you won't even get to marry Suk Joon.
That won't happen.
If you want to protect your son,
you should go somewhere far away with him.
I heard Suk Hwan is going to hire an attorney soon.
That means you'll end up losing both your son and Suk Joon.
A trial?
What if that really happens?
Then Min Ho will have to go to court as well.
My dad won't allow that.
If they push the fact that your brother is his father,
I'll definitely lose the trial.
From what I know, that's not always the case.
If my brother really sues you,
then we'll fight back.
I want to avoid taking things to court...
for Min Ho's sake.
I feel the same way.
But I just wanted to tell you that you're not at a disadvantage.
Don't worry too much.
Do you really plan to take things to court so you can bring Min Ho?
Yes.
How are you going to make him...
live here against his will?
Kids adjust very quickly.
He'll eventually adjust to the new environment.
Min Ho is very sensitive right now because he's in middle school.
Must you bring him home now?
Then when do you suggest we bring him?
Do you think we should wait until he's willing to come?
I'm trying to bring my son home.
Who do you think you are to interfere?
What?
Are you doing this because bringing Min Ho home...
might get in the way of your marrying Ms. Oh?
I'm going to marry her regardless of Min Ho.
If you marry her,
the family will tree will get really messed up.
Do you really think Dad will let that happen?
You abandoned me,
so it's my turn to abandon you.
I don't need a dad.
Don't ever come see me again.
You abandoned him when he was a baby,
and now you want him back only because you need him.
That's why I want to make up for it and be a good dad from now on.
It looks like Suk Hwan wants to take things to court.
Can you please talk to Mom and Suk Hwan?
What?
If they take this to court,
Min Ho will be the one getting hurt the most.
What's your plan?
What?
Min Ho is your nephew now...
regardless of whether or not we bring him here.
But do you still plan on marrying Ms. Oh?
Our relationship will remain the same.
The point is that Min Ho is my grandson.
Min Ho is Suk Hwan's son.
So I can't let Ms. Oh marry you.
No matter what happens,
I won't give up on Pil Jeong.
If you marry her,
the family will tree will get really messed up.
The point is that Min Ho is my grandson.
Min Ho is Suk Hwan's son.
So I can't let Ms. Oh marry you.
1, 2, 3...
That was close. Let's try again.
1, 2, 3...
- Try to do five. - Okay.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Who are you?
Are you Pil Jeong's son?
Yes.
And you're Pil Jeong's daughter?
Yes. But who are you?
Me?
I'm your grandfather.
Mom!
Mom! Hurry up and come outside!
- What's wrong, Min Ji? - What's the matter?
Grandpa is here.
"Grandpa"?
Yes.
Long time no see, Pil Jeong.
He's the stalker who stalked me last night.
You're Soon Jeong, aren't you?
Who are you?
Pil Jeong. Soon Jeong.
It's me.
I'm your dad.
(Mom Has an Affair)
We don't need a dad like you. Leave.
Will you please hear me out first?
Listen to me carefully.
Don't ever let him in again.
Min Ho is Suk Hwan's son.
Are you still going to let Suk Joon date Ms. Oh?
Then can you help me out with Suk Joon?
It's easy to tell that he's not very trustworthy.
He looks like a playboy and a delinquent.
Do you think your mother will allow us to get married...
if we tell her that my dad is back?
Min Ho, do exactly as I tell you.
