(Episode 98)
You received money from Eun Ju and her husband...
in return for convincing Min Ho to go live with them?
That's where he belongs.
It's his dad's house.
Did you threaten him to go there?
Why would I threaten him?
I told him he should go live with his rich dad...
so you won't have to suffer anymore.
You lived a difficult life because of Min Ho.
I lived a difficult life...
ever since you left us.
But Min Ho gave me strength and hope.
But you had to spend money on raising him.
That's already a lot of money, you know.
Didn't you see Min Ji cry...
when she had to say goodbye to Min Ho?
They never once lived apart.
Then until when were you planning to raise Min Ho?
Who are you to care?
With what right?
I did it for you.
You sent my son away in return for money.
And you say you did it for me?
They made the offer.
Pil Jeong.
Mi Yeong called...
Give me the money.
Where's the money? Give me the money you received!
I don't have it. I already spent it all.
Soon Jeong.
Get him out of here.
If I think about what he did to my son,
I don't ever want to see him again.
Did you really make Min Ho leave and receive money for that?
He just went to live with his dad!
Why are you all blaming it on me?
You forced him to go!
That's why he ended up running away from home!
I never told him to run away from home!
I want you to find Min Ho.
If you don't,
I swear I won't forgive you.
You should go back to Jeju Island.
My land isn't sold yet. I can't go.
My goodness.
My sister gave money to your father?
What's wrong with your sister?
I told you not to call.
Pil Jeong knows everything. What are you going to do now?
I can't give you the money I got.
Hey, wait. Mr. Oh.
Darn it.
What's the matter?
Ms. Oh found out...
that we gave her dad money.
This is going to turn into a mess.
My dad will become furious if he finds out.
But still, Min Ho came because he wanted to.
We didn't force him to come.
I asked Soon Jeong to come...
while I took Min Ji outside so she wouldn't get shocked.
Yes, she came earlier with Tae Woo.
Didn't Min Ho call?
Mom, why are you crying?
If you cry, it makes me feel sad.
Min Ji.
Where is your brother?
(Mom)
Come on.
Honey, there's a kid lying there.
- Do you think he's crying? - Should we call the cops?
Yes, you should call.
- Oh, dear. - Where is this place?
Where is his mother?
(A trustworthy and reliable police)
Min Ho.
Mom.
It's okay.
What matters is that you're safe.
Let's go home. Min Ji is waiting for you.
- Min Ho! - Min Ji.
I missed you.
Me too.
I'm glad you're back, Min Ho.
Your mom was worried sick about you.
You should go to your room. It's exactly as you left it.
I missed this room.
Do you want to come back here?
You can be honest.
I already know you didn't go to Hannam-dong...
because you wanted to.
I thought if I went there,
you and Mr. Kang would get married and be happy with each other.
That's why you went there?
You raised me all these years,
but there was nothing I could do in return.
I thought leaving this place...
was the best thing I could do for you.
Did your grandpa say that?
Happiness means nothing if you're not here with me.
I thought you left because you wanted to.
So I couldn't ask you to stay.
I also heard you stole a ring.
- It wasn't me. - I know.
I know how upset you must've been.
That's why it hurts so much.
Mom.
I won't send you there again.
I don't want to study abroad either.
Okay, you don't need to go if you don't want to.
The three of us won't ever have to say goodbye.
I won't ever send you away again.
Were you going to text Eun Ju that Min Ho returned?
I'll go tell them myself.
My goodness.
Pil Jeong, what brings you here?
Did you get a call from Min Ho?
Yes, Min Ho came home.
Then you should've called.
Is he at your house?
What do you think you're doing?
This is the money my father received...
from the executive director and Eun Ju...
in return for convincing Min Ho to live here.
My dad convinced and coerced Min Ho into coming here...
in return for getting paid.
Min Ho thought he needed to come here for me.
That's why he decided to live here.
Is this all true?
I only asked him to convince him.
Was that so bad?
Suk Hwan, you're unbelievable.
You pretty much gave Min Ho no choice.
My son and daughter-in-law wouldn't have done that...
if you had sent Min Ho to us in the first place.
Then let's talk about how you treated him...
after he started living here.
You took his cell phone...
and accused him of stealing a ring.
But he still defied you,
so you just thought of sending him abroad to study?
Is that what Min Ho told you?
Stay quiet!
I'm going to raise Min Ho.
Says who?
- I'll take things to court... - Go ahead.
I'll hire a lawyer as well.
Min Ho will tell the judge what he experienced here...
and explain why he felt like he had to run away.
If he testifies that in court,
do you really think you'd be able to take custody of him?
Are you threatening us?
It's the truth.
There's more than enough evidence to prove that.
You're not qualified to be his dad.
What... What did you say?
Eun Ju.
You have a lot to learn to become Min Ho's mother.
Chairman Kang.
I can't let Min Ho live here for his own sake.
I'm sorry.
Pil Jeong.
Suk Hwan, you darn punk!
If you bring Min Ho home like this one more time,
I will not forgive you!
That darn punk.
Then are we just supposed to let Min Ho live there?
My goodness.
Good job.
You should fight back this time...
so that no one will be able to take Min Ho from you.
I'm so upset at my dad. I can't forgive him.
How could he do that to Min Ho?
What matters is that Min Ho came home safely.
Just focus on that.
The chairman will disapprove of me even more...
now that I'll be raising Min Ho.
Then our relationship...
Don't worry.
I still won't give up on you.
- Min Ho. - Mr. Kang.
Thank you for coming back safely.
Were you worried?
Your mom worried the most.
I won't ever leave this place again.
I'm going to follow you around with Jumbak...
and make sure you never leave us again.
- Even to the bathroom? - Yes.
Hey.
Where's your father?
Did he go back to Jeju Island?
I bet he felt too bad about staying here...
after what he did.
I'm glad he left.
Instead of listening to Min Ho,
you just scolded him and kept being hard on him.
And you still have the audacity to tell me you did your best?
I thought it was necessary to discipline him for his mistakes.
You should've done that after you got him to open up.
It's no wonder Min Ho ran away from home!
We tried to become close,
but he kept refusing to open up.
So you just stopped trying?
You both are so immature.
Neither of you are qualified to become parents.
They brought home a middle school kid.
It's natural for them to go through stuff like this.
You should've known that you'll only end up...
becoming more distant with him.
Then when can we bring him home?
Was Min Ho ever happy here?
Were you guys happy with Min Ho?
Don't just try to be his parent using your head.
Try to love him with your heart.
If this is how you're going to raise him,
just let him go ahead and live with Ms. Oh.
If you're going to let Min Ho move back to Ms. Oh's house,
does that mean you're willing to let her keep dating Suk Joon?
I'm telling them to send him back for Min Ho's sake.
It doesn't mean I approve of her relationship with Suk Joon.
Dad must not know Suk Joon at all.
My gosh.
Min Ho came back home?
I'm so relieved.
Pil Jeong, don't let Min Ho leave.
You should raise him for his own sake.
Okay, bye.
- Is Min Ho back? - Yes.
I'm so relieved. Let's go downstairs to eat.
Let's go. Come on.
Is Min Ho okay?
Yes, I think so.
It's better for Min Ho to live with Ms. Oh.
Min Ho wanted to live with his dad. That's why he moved there.
No, that's not why he went.
Tae Woo's sister and brother-in-law paid my dad and asked him...
to convince Min Ho in return.
Are you serious?
Yes, I think that's why Min Ho had a hard time...
adjusting to the place.
Are you saying Eun Ju was too hard on him?
I never said that.
Let's go visit Min Ho, Dad.
- Okay. - Why would you go there?
Don't you have work today?
No, today's my day off.
Let's go later.
Here. I'll give this back to you.
You can take back the airplane and this car as well.
I don't need them anymore.
Just don't go anywhere, okay?
Okay.
Do you mean that?
- Yes. - Promise me.
Scan. Sign.
There we go.
- Min Ho. - Yu Kyung.
I heard you came back, so I came to visit.
Do you know how worried I was?
Really? I'm sorry.
Are you going to live here now?
Yes.
- Counseling? - Yes.
If things go to trial,
they'll take the counseling records into consideration.
So you think Min Ho should receive counseling?
The counseling results and doctor's note...
could influence the judge...
and have the judge reach a verdict saying it's better for the kid...
to continue living where he grew up.
I also heard of that before.
Let's do that.
I was actually worried about Min Ho's current mental state.
I know a psychiatrist, so I'll ask him if he could help.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so kind.
It's nothing for you to thank.
I'm not doing this for you.
I'm doing it for Ms. Oh and Min Ho.
If Ms. Oh didn't date you,
I doubt she would've had to suffer so much.
She won't have to suffer anymore.
And even if something happens, we'll get through it just fine.
Min Ho seems okay, Dad.
Really? Let's go.
My goodness, Min Ho.
Gosh, I'm glad you're back.
I felt really bad after you left.
I'm sorry.
So please talk to your mom.
She wants to kick me out...
for making you leave.
I thought you went to Jeju Island.
I already apologized to Min Ho.
- So... - I don't care. Just leave.
- Get out of here. - Pil Jeong, please.
I'm very old, so I don't have a long life ahead of me.
You can't kick your own father out.
My goodness, please.
Just let him stay.
He apologized.
You told me I should accept it when someone apologizes to me.
Thank you, Min Ho.
Min Ho just forgave me, so that means I can stay, right?
Thank you, Min Ho.
Thank goodness.
What matters is that I'm here.
Min Ho, come here and sit down.
If you want, you can stay here.
Really?
I'll make sure you can stay.
But you see,
your dad will miss you.
I can't stop him from missing you.
My biological father misses me?
Yes.
Don't you want to meet him?
It's not that.
But I just don't want him to take me to Hannam-dong.
Then I'll try talking to him.
You won't have to break up with Mr. Kang because of me, right?
No, that won't happen.
So you don't need to worry about that.
Okay.
The house feels a lot brighter now that you're back.
Min Ho received counseling?
Yes, that's right.
Was that really necessary?
The fact that he ran away from home...
shows that he was under a lot of stress.
How are the results?
According to his doctor, he showed anxiety symptoms,
and although it was mild, he also showed symptoms of depression.
So what's your point?
The most important thing right now is for Min Ho to become stable.
If you continue to pressure him,
things could get really serious.
Things could get serious?
So what?
Are you saying we should let him live with Oh Pil Jeong?
The adults just need to let go of their greed.
Then you'll all know what will be best for Min Ho.
I'm sure it was hard for you as much as it was hard for Min Ho.
You suddenly became a mother of a 14-year-old boy.
I can only imagine how difficult it must've been.
It looks like you also need time.
If Min Ho lives at his house in Seogye-dong,
he'll continue to think of Pil Jeong as his mother.
Why don't you become his friend before trying to be his mother?
He won't let me in.
You need to put in some work to make him open up.
Take your time and try your best.
I can't even meet my own son?
This is all because your wife didn't do a better job.
If she had done a better job, Min Ho wouldn't have left.
Gosh, I know.
Pil Jeong has something to say.
What's that?
I'll take care of Min Ho until he grows up.
Once he grows older, he'll want to meet his dad.
I want you to wait until then.
If he keeps living with you, he won't even be curious about me.
I think you should meet him once or twice a week...
and slowly get to know him.
Min Ho told me that he's okay with meeting his dad.
- He said that? - What's the point of meeting him...
every once in a while if they won't be living together?
Right now, Suk Hwan needs to focus on what he can do...
to become closer to Min Ho...
rather than making him move in with us.
When Min Ho truly wants to live with his dad,
I'll let him go.
Are you here to brag that you won the fight?
Is that really what you think?
Do you think I'm purposely trying to keep him away from you?
Isn't that what you're doing?
I want you and your husband to become closer with Min Ho.
And I can help you guys do that.
But first,
you need to make an effort.
Stop acting all haughty.
My father-in-law may have agreed on sending Min Ho to you.
But he only did that for Min Ho's sake.
That doesn't mean he approves of your relationship...
with Suk Joon.
Congratulations, Ms. Oh.
We got a call saying your design passed the preliminary round.
- Really? - Yes.
You must be happy. Mine didn't pass.
You'll get another chance.
Congratulations.
Thank you, everyone.
You'll just need to make a few edits to your design...
and hand it in for the second round.
Have you ever studied design?
No, I just explained what kind of outfit...
I would want to wear as a consumer.
The seamstress did all the work.
We'll help you with the second round.
Thank you in advance.
Your grandfather at Hannam-dong...
is okay with your staying here.
Really?
Your dad is going to visit you once a week.
I'll try harder to get to know him.
I envy you, Min Ho. You have a dad now.
If Mr. Kang marries Mom,
I'll have a dad, too.
When are you guys going to get married?
If you don't do anything, someone else might take her away.
What?
I'm kidding.
By the way, I noticed your father isn't home yet.
- Give me your hand. - Why?
Just give it to me.
Here.
Mi Yeong is right.
This is for just in case anyone tries to take you away.
Suk Joon.
I know you had to go through a lot regarding Min Ho.
I hope this makes you feel better.
I've become more certain after what recently happened.
I realized once again that I never want to lose you.
No matter what happens,
don't get swayed, and just trust me.
Okay.
I'll consider this as a token of your love and keep it well.
My dad wants to talk to you over the phone.
I think it's about the investment.
Tell him to talk about it with Suk Hwan or my dad.
(Man Loses All His Money After Getting Scammed by a Guy...)
(Who Told Him He’s the Father-in-Law...)
(of LX Group’s Second Son)
Good morning.
There's an online article about you, sir.
An article about me?
Someone must've received investments from people...
saying he's in-laws with LX Group's chairman.
The victims keep uploading posts...
on our online bulletin board saying they lost all their money.
"In-laws"? What are you talking about?
I think he's been scamming people saying Director Kang Suk Joon...
is his son-in-law.
What?
By any chance,
do you think it was Ms. Oh's father?
(Mom Has an Affair)
By any chance, could that person be your father?
No, it's not him. I already checked with my dad.
Are you saying Dad still wants Suk Joon to be his successor?
I'm going to recommend you as the successor...
during the next board meeting.
What I want...
is for you to accept my relationship with Pil Jeong.
Suk Joon might get in trouble...
because of Pil Jeong.
Will you take responsibility...
if this ends up harming Suk Joon's career?
You wish to make an investment?
Yes, I'd like to meet you in person.
