What?
What do you mean Min Ho disappeared?
We can't seem to find him anywhere.
Didn't you see him leave?
No, I didn't.
Why would he disappear?
Are you saying he ran away?
(Episode 97)
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
His cell phone is turned off.
Did something happen yesterday?
Did you tell him off for going to Seogyeo-dong?
I just gave him a warning.
It wasn't bad enough to make him run away from home.
By any chance,
do you think he ran away because of what happened last night?
You want him to send him to a school abroad?
What if he keeps...
visiting his family in Seogyeo-dong?
A lot of the other kids go abroad to study at his age.
We can't send him abroad. He only just started living here.
I want to get to know him a little more.
We can go visit him instead.
If you spend time with him abroad, it might help you guys get closer.
Pil Jeong won't be there to get in the way.
The only way we can get Min Ho...
to accept his new family without Pil Jeong in the picture...
is to send him to a school abroad.
I'll think about it.
I don't want to study abroad.
I won't ever leave my mom and sister.
Who taught you to eavesdrop on adults?
Hey, you're our family now.
Those people in Seogyeo-dong don't mean anything to you now.
I may have moved here,
but that doesn't mean they're not my family.
See?
He'll never be able to settle down here.
I guess you're right.
We should send him abroad.
I told you I don't want to go.
We're our parents now.
It's up to us to decide.
Other kids are dying to study abroad.
Didn't you hear what those kids said at the golf course?
I should look into it tomorrow.
You thought of sending Min Ho to a school abroad?
It was for his own sake.
Are you sure it wasn't because...
you guys found it hard to raise him?
Watch what you say.
Do you think I want to live away from my son?
"Son"?
When did you ever truly think of him as your son?
Have you ever thought of Min Ho as your child?
You just did the bare minimum because you were obligated to.
I did my best.
That's enough.
We need to find him first.
I bet he went to his mother.
Call Oh Pil Jeong.
What do you mean Min Ho disappeared?
Didn't he go to your house?
No, he didn't. Are you saying he ran away from home?
I think so.
Min Ho ran away from home?
Yes.
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the...
His cell phone is turned off.
Mom, is Min Ho coming home today?
Unfortunately not.
He didn't go there either?
No.
Where are you going?
We need to start looking for Min Ho.
What if you're going to go to Ms. Oh's house?
What?
She might be keeping Min Ho there and lying to us about it.
I want to go check for myself.
Wait for me.
That kid is so weird.
He should feel grateful about getting the chance to study abroad.
Why would he run away from home?
Exactly.
Why would he run away because of that?
Are you going to go to Suk Joon's house?
I should find out what happened.
If he ran away from there, he might come here.
That'd be a relief.
But what if he isn't coming here...
because he doesn't want to worry me?
It's normal for kids to do this as they grow up.
I'm sure his dad will deal with it.
Where is Min Ho? Do you have him here?
What are you talking about?
What...
My gosh.
What do you think you're doing here?
You're the one who made him run away!
I know you convinced him to do this.
What?
I bet he ran away because you told him to!
You'd better call us the moment he comes here.
If you don't, we'll report you for kidnapping our child.
"Kidnap"?
Watch what you say.
What?
Hey, my son disappeared.
Do you think I care about being respectful right now?
You're the one who pressured him and made him run away.
I told you to stay out of it.
That's enough.
Call me as soon as he comes here.
Let's go, Suk Hwan.
What in the world happened with Min Ho?
Dad, Min Ho ran away from home.
What?
Ms. Oh called and asked me...
if Min Ho ever called.
His new phone is turned off.
They wanted to send him to a school abroad?
I think he ran away because he knew he won't get to see you again...
if he goes abroad.
They only just took him from us.
How could they think of sending him away so quickly?
I also heard about it today.
And...
Min Ho came by to see you.
He did?
I had no idea.
I think he just watched you from afar and left.
Min Ho...
He might be nearby,
so let's search the neighborhood before we go to work.
Let's go.
Sorry.
(Goeunsori Piano, Areum Hair Salon, Buyeong Real Estate...)
What happened?
He wasn't at Seogyeo-dong either.
Then where is he?
Why did you tell him to go study abroad...
when he told you he didn't want to go?
We just thought it'd be better for him.
We did it for a reason.
Min Ho stole Eun Ju's ring.
He did?
Did he really?
Yes.
He seemed to have a hard time adjusting to the new environment.
That's why we thought of sending him abroad.
Suk Hwan and Eun Ju aren't at fault for this.
I think you're right. We really should send him abroad.
Min Ho is gone.
What does that even matter?
Call the cops right now.
What if a reporter finds out and writes an article?
Do you want everyone to find out...
that Suk Hwan had a child out of wedlock?
We can ask them to keep it confidential.
Let's go.
My goodness.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Min Ho's father thought Min Ho was hiding at Pil Jeong's house,
so he came and threw a huge fit.
I feel so bad for my sister.
Is Min Ho still missing?
Suk Joon and Pil Jeong looked for him this morning.
But he was nowhere.
My goodness.
Mother.
I was waiting for you...
to offer me a free massage,
but you never did.
So I came without an invitation.
You need to make a reservation first.
So I can't get a massage?
Then I'll talk to the facialist.
You can get a facial when she's ready.
Where are you going?
Min Ho ran away from home.
I should go check up on my sister.
What?
Aren't you worried about Eun Ju?
What?
Don't you think Eun Ju might also be having a hard time?
How could you only worry about your sister?
If Tae Woo's sister treated him nicely,
Min Ho wouldn't have run away.
Are you saying he ran away because of Eun Ju?
I'm only saying this because Min Ho ran away...
while living with her.
Okay, fine.
Let's go ahead and pick sides.
(Vice-chairperson Kim Hae Jeong)
- Did you report it to the police? - Yes.
But they told me they need to check with Ms. Oh...
because he's not registered as my son in my family register.
What?
Legally speaking, he's not my son.
Darn it.
I'm going to register him as my son as soon as we find him.
He's my son,
but there's no way to prove that.
How does this make any sense?
What do you want?
Have you heard from Min Ho yet?
If he called, we wouldn't be here right now.
Text Min Ho to come back...
and tell him you won't send him abroad.
That will put him at ease and make him come back.
And please don't send him abroad.
You should leave it to us now that he lives with us.
If you keep getting involved,
you'll only end up confusing him. You should know that.
So you're going to send him abroad?
Min Ho stole Eun Ju's ring.
Who knows what he might do next if we keep him here?
He stole her ring?
Min Ho would never do that. It must be a misunderstanding.
Are you saying Eun Ju lied?
Hasn't Min Ho called yet?
No.
I'll teach him a lesson once he comes back.
Is Suk Hwan angry at you?
No.
I'm already having a hard time because of Min Ho.
Let's hang up.
What do you want?
Min Ho is missing.
How could you be drinking coffee and calling someone right now?
We couldn't find him anywhere.
What more do you want me to do?
Did you accuse Min Ho of stealing?
My ring disappeared after he came into my room.
He did it because he was angry at me for taking his cell phone.
I bet Min Ho told you that he didn't steal it,
and I bet you didn't believe him.
Is this why you took Min Ho away from me?
Did you take him from me just so you could hurt him?
Min Ho ran away because he couldn't adjust.
Do you really think this would've happened...
if you had been kinder to him?
Are you saying it's my fault?
How did you educate him...
for him to turn out this way?
He's stubborn.
He always talks back.
And he always says "no" to everything I offer.
Do you know how exhausting he is?
So you just framed him as a thief...
and hurt his pride?
You talk as if he's a kid who's very proud of himself.
Hey!
This is absolutely nothing...
compared to how much you hurt Min Ho.
My gosh.
Min Ho hasn't called, has he?
He might go to your house today,
so you should go home early.
I'll go after I meet a client.
Are you okay?
You know what? I'll drive you home.
No, it's okay.
Are you aware that Min Ho got accused of stealing?
Yes.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Min Ho asked me not to.
He knew you'd be worried if you found out.
And I thought the same way.
I can't believe they treated him like a thief.
Because of that,
I suggested to my dad that we should send him back to you.
But I guess he refused.
I'll try my best to convince him.
First, let's focus on finding Min Ho.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
(Chief of Surgery, Choi Dong Seok)
(Ms. Oh Pil Jeong)
There are no more patients waiting for me, right?
No, sir. You're done for today.
Okay.
Ms. Oh.
Mr. Choi.
I came because I was worried.
Hasn't Min Ho called yet?
No.
Why don't you come inside for some tea?
Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oh.
Are you a doctor?
Yes.
Do you have porridge at home?
No, of course not.
Then let me go get some for her.
By the way, why are you so kind to her?
She used to teach my daughter.
But still, it's weird that you care about her so much.
Are you alone?
- What? - Are you single?
- I got a divorce. - I see.
I can tell you like my daughter.
I'll go buy some porridge.
What a catch.
No.
He's no match for LX Group.
That doctor bought this for you.
When you were lying sick,
he checked your blood pressure and body temperature.
He took care of you with so much care.
Aren't you going to eat it?
I'm not hungry.
Hey, make sure you marry Kang Suk Joon.
The son of LX Group's chairman is way better than a doctor.
So make sure you marry Kang Suk Joon, okay?
My goodness.
Why won't she eat it? It looks delicious.
Let's see.
Let's try some.
Pil Jeong, did you find Min Ho?
Hasn't he called yet?
No.
Was Min Ho not happy there?
I don't think so.
He must've had such a hard time.
Should we look for him?
We already looked everywhere.
Did you call the cops?
Yes.
I'll call you once we find Min Ho.
So don't worry too much.
Will you be okay on your own?
You don't look so well.
Suk Joon will be here soon.
Call me as soon as Min Ho calls.
Okay.
How badly did your sister treat Min Ho?
I'm sure she was just trying to do her best.
Are you taking her side?
I'm not taking anyone's side.
I honestly feel uneasy about being in between my sister and you.
Your sister made him run away.
I'll look into what happened.
You should go home for now.
Where in the world is Min Ho?
Soon Jeong, did Min Ho come home?
No, not yet.
If he doesn't call by tonight,
I might have to go to my sister's house.
Why go there again? You already went there today.
I bought mudfish, so we can have mudfish soup.
I want you to prepare them for cooking.
You want me to prepare the ingredients?
Yes, of course. Do you expect me to do it instead?
Haven't you ever cooked anything with mudfish before?
It's okay. I can do it.
Oh, my gosh.
Why aren't you doing anything?
You need to sprinkle them with salt.
I've never cooked anything with mudfish before.
Hurry.
My goodness!
Hurry up! Go pick them up!
- Go on! - My goodness!
Oh, gosh!
Oh, my goodness!
Gosh, I really can't do this.
Oh, my gosh.
Have you heard from the police?
The police haven't called your family either, have they?
No.
It's dark now, but I have no idea where he is or what he's doing.
I'll keep looking for him.
You should go home.
He might come home.
She's right. Pil Jeong and I will search the neighborhood.
Just let us know if Min Ho calls.
Okay.
Min Ho will come back. Don't worry.
Don't tell Suk Joon that I came up with the idea to send him abroad.
I only said it in good faith.
I didn't know things would turn out this way.
"Good faith"?
Are you sure you said it in good faith?
Of course.
You were having a hard time.
So I just gave you advice.
"Advice"?
You were annoyed that Suk Joon...
kept looking out for Min Ho for Pil Jeong.
So you only said that to separate Min Ho from him.
Why are you blaming it on me?
Are you saying it's my fault that he ran away?
If you don't want Suk Joon to get disappointed in you,
you'd better hope that Min Ho comes home safely.
I want you to call me right away...
if Min Ho ever goes there.
Okay.
And stop calling me.
If Pil Jeong finds out, she'll have me kicked out.
If I ever catch you hiding Min Ho there...
without telling me,
you'll have to give me back the money I gave you.
Keep that in mind.
My gosh.
It'd be great if I knew his friends' numbers.
Min Ho's old cell phone.
This is Eun Ju's ring.
Why is this here?
Isn't this the ring...
that Min Ho stole?
I guess it is.
Does this mean Min Ho never stole it?
I thought he did.
But I found it on the floor.
Did you apologize to him?
I was going to.
You treated my son like a thief,
and you never even apologized?
No wonder he ran away from home!
What?
Are you saying he ran away because of me?
Why else would he have run away?
Do you have any idea how much effort I put in for Min Ho?
Then why did you treat him like a thief?
And you should've told me...
that you found your ring.
I kept being suspicious of Min Ho.
Are you blaming me for everything?
Be honest with me.
Did you try to send him abroad...
because you couldn't be bothered to deal with him?
Suk Hwan!
If anything happens to him,
I won't forgive you!
We looked everywhere.
You should get some sleep.
You might collapse again.
What's wrong?
I thought maybe he might be nearby.
Let's go inside.
Your mom went through enough because of you.
It's time you go live with your dad and live a comfortable life...
and let your mom live comfortably.
Mom.
I called to check if you're doing okay.
and to ask if you've heard from Min Ho.
I'm okay.
Thank you for looking out for me.
Hasn't Min Ho called yet?
No.
He cares a lot about you.
He knows you'll be worried.
So I'm sure he'll call.
Thank you.
Back when Min Ho and I ran away from home together,
I felt really hungry and sleepy.
I bet he feels the same way.
Don't worry.
He'll come back just like last time.
My goodness.
He'll come back...
once he's hungry and out of money.
Is there anything to eat?
What is the matter with me? I'm hungry all the time.
My goodness.
Why are you calling me again?
Hasn't Min Ho called yet?
No, he hasn't called.
And let me tell you something.
Even if Min Ho doesn't go back to you,
I already used all the money you gave me.
So...
Are you going to ignore me now that you got your money?
Min Ho needs to live with us in order for the deal to stay valid.
Hello? Mr. Oh!
Did you get money from the executive director...
in return for sending Min Ho to their house in Hannam-dong?
Pil Jeong, let me explain.
Did you get money from him or not?
(Mom Has an Affair)
I did it for you.
You had no right!
Min Ji.
Where is your brother?
The three of us won't ever have to say goodbye.
I won't ever send you away again.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm going to raise Min Ho.
Are you trying to brag that you won the fight?
That doesn't mean we approve of your relationship with Suk Joon.
Don't get mistaken.
If Ms. Oh didn't date you,
I doubt she would've had to suffer so much.
When are you guys going to get married?
- Give me your hand. - Suk Joon.
I've become more certain after what happened.
