Stuff that happened on the day that Kyung Ah disappeared?
I never even thought of looking into that.
(Wednesday, May 11, 1994)
(The Black Rose Vanishes and the Police Fails to Arrest Her)
My goodness.
I didn't know this happened...
on the day that Kyung Ah disappeared.
"The police failed to arrest her..."
"right behind Seodong Market..."
"where a cherry blossom festival was being held."
(The Black Rose stole from people at the cherry blossom festival, )
(but the police failed to catch her.)
Seodong Market?
That's exactly where...
Kyung Ah went missing.
(The Black Rose stole from people at the cherry blossom festival, )
(but the police failed to catch her.)
Has Man Su recovered?
He still has a lot of medical treatments left,
but he has no problems in his daily life.
What did he say?
Why did he want to meet up with you?
We didn't talk about much.
He just told me that he wants to be in charge of my book.
You guys broke off your engagement.
Why does he still want to be in charge of your book?
I guess he has a plan in mind.
What's he trying to do with the book?
Did he have anything to say to me?
It didn't really seem like he missed you.
If you're so curious, why don't you call him yourself?
Why would I call him?
Have some fruit.
Is Man Su trying to declare a war against me or something?
He shouldn't have stayed alive.
What's he planning to do this time?
(President, Ahn Man Su)
Come in.
Thanks.
I still have a hard time in the evenings.
Hey, Eun Seok.
Where are you?
I'm home.
Yes, I just had dinner.
Can I go over to your place?
I also need to talk to your mother about the formal family gathering.
Okay, sure.
Mom, now that I'm working somewhere else,
I have more free time to do stuff like this with you.
You're right.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to meet Jenny.
I'll talk to her about the family gathering.
Why can't you just talk to her about it over the phone?
It's better to meet.
Tell Jenny that she'd better brace herself.
After I heard that President Wang yanked at my mom's hair,
I became extremely furious.
Eun Ji, if that's how you feel, maybe it's best that you don't come.
No, I'm going to go.
I'm going to make sure I show her that our family members...
should not be looked down on.
Yes, of course.
What did Jenny do wrong?
If President Wang sees her daughter suffer because of her,
I'm sure she'll slowly start to change a little.
If that was going to change her,
she would've changed a long time ago.
You seem to know her so well.
And yet, you're still insisting on marrying into that family?
We're done talking about that, so please don't bring it up again.
- I'll be off now. - Okay.
I mean, seriously.
He's really smart when it comes to everything else.
But he turns into an idiot when it comes to Jenny.
That's exactly what I mean.
What are you doing?
Eun Seok's coming.
His family asked us to get ready for a formal family gathering.
Didn't he tell you about the fight I had with Ms. Oh today?
What? Why did you guys fight?
Ms. Oh thinks I'm trying to use you...
so I can take money from Eun Seok.
How could she say that right to my face?
So you fought with her?
She's been looking down on me ever since Man Su broke off...
the engagement.
She kept annoying me...
while she acted all refined.
So I just yanked at her hair.
Mom!
What is wrong with you?
I can't believe you even fought with Ms. Oh as well.
What would you have done if she had said that to your face?
I'm sure you would've done more than just yank at her hair.
She's totally looking down on me...
now that Man Su's no longer supporting me.
She kept making personal attacks,
and I naturally found myself getting violent with her.
Mom.
Ms. Oh's going to be my aunt-in-law.
How could you yank at her hair?
You're unbelievable.
Do you think she'll like you if I'm nice to her?
No one in that family...
will like you other than Eun Seok.
My gosh, she fell asleep already?
Let's go.
Come on.
She came into my room and started asking me about us...
including both our birthdays.
Then she fell asleep.
I guess she got tired after all the bike-riding.
Just leave her there. I'll sleep with her tonight.
- Okay. Let's eat some fruit. - Sure.
- Kyung In. - Yes?
Where's Ma Eum?
She's been over at Song Ah's place all day long.
Maybe we should pack her stuff and send it over.
I should go check up on her.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
My gosh, that's sour.
I'll sleep with Ma Eum...
once you guys get remarried.
I don't mind as long as Ma Eum wants the same thing.
She looks adorable when she sleeps.
She seems happy even when she's asleep.
Her dad and aunt are both very caring and attentive.
But I guess she still wanted a mom.
It makes me feel sad every time she calls me "Mom".
Of course she wanted a mom.
Come to think of it,
back when I was in high school, I always panicked...
whenever you suddenly disappeared...
and didn't answer my calls.
Really?
Yes. And when I was even younger, I thought the world...
was going to end when I couldn't find you.
Imagine how hard it must've been for Ma Eum...
when her mother died.
Exactly. Words can't explain what she's been through.
I wonder...
how devastated...
and scared Kyung Ah must've been...
when she got lost.
She wasn't even...
five years old back then.
Mom, don't cry.
Hello.
Song Ah, is Ma Eum here?
She's sleeping in my room.
She sleeps here so often.
She finished all her homework before she went to bed,
so don't worry.
Okay.
Mother, did you cry?
Yes, I cried.
Why? We're looking forward to a joyous event.
I was just really happy.
She was talking to me about Kyung Ah again.
Oh, your little sister?
Man Su...
gave me this through Jenny today.
What's this?
My goodness.
I don't know how he found out that I lost my daughter.
But he gathered news articles of the incidents that occurred...
on the same day that Kyung Ah got kidnapped.
He thought it could help me find Kyung Ah.
My goodness, he's so kind.
Wait a minute. It seems like your daughter...
and the Black Rose both disappeared on the same day.
I know, right? A lot of things happened that day.
A fire broke out in the marketplace.
An earthquake occurred for the first time in 20 years.
Some gangster from a gang named Seogu Gang also got arrested.
It was a mess that day.
My goodness.
I can't believe I'm reading an article about the Black Rose.
Isn't that the pickpocket that the chairman is trying to find?
Yes.
This is interesting.
I can't believe your sister also disappeared on the same day.
Reading that made me remember what happened that day.
I feel like...
Kyung Ah will suddenly show up one day.
I guess Man Su really cares about you a lot.
Exactly.
He gave you this amid his accident.
That's why I'm thinking of meeting him soon.
I see.
(The Black Rose Vanishes and the Police Fails to Arrest Her)
Who's here at this hour?
Jenny.
- Who is it? - It's me.
Mom, please don't get angry or say anything rude.
Okay, fine.
Come in.
Hello.
What do you mean you've come to a decision?
I'll do what you asked and live with you...
after we get married.
My family gave me their consent.
Are you serious?
I'm sure Ms. Oh was against it.
She's no longer going to oppose.
Jenny and I are planning to get married as soon as possible.
My grandfather told me that he'll entrust us with everything...
once we're done with our formal family gathering before the wedding.
Okay, then. Seeing that no one's against it anymore,
I guess you guys are really going to get married now.
Yes.
Then let me ask you a few questions.
Yes?
First of all, let's talk about the house.
As you already know,
this house is registered under my name and Jenny's.
Yes, I know that.
You're not thinking of coming here empty-handed, are you?
Of course not.
I also have a house registered under my name.
But I rented it out.
It'll take about six months for the house to be ready...
after the tenants move out and I remodel the place.
That's when I'm planning to move.
Until then, we can live here or somewhere else.
I'm fine with wherever.
Is your house bigger than ours?
Well, kind of. It's about the same size.
- Where's the neighborhood? - It's in Samseong-dong.
I see.
Then I guess that settles the house.
Six months isn't that long, so we can just live here until then.
Okay.
The next thing I want to talk about is living expenses.
- Mom. - Stay still.
You'll both be working,
so that puts me in charge of all the housekeeping.
So I'm expecting to get money for our living expenses.
You can discuss that with me. You don't even need that much money.
I just think it'd be best to clear things up.
Man Su once even gave me a credit card with no limit.
And he always gave me cash whenever I needed it.
Mom!
I was already planning to give you money.
Jenny only wears and uses the best quality stuff,
and she only eats organic food.
That means it'll cost 2 to 3 times the average living expenses.
So please keep that in mind.
Okay, I'll give you more than enough.
Okay.
Are you serious?
Yes, she kept calling me "Mom" at the end of every sentence.
I think I heard her say that about 10,000 times today.
She'll probably stop after saying it a million times.
You have no idea how happy she was when she went bike-riding...
with Song Ah this afternoon.
She wouldn't stop smiling. She must've really enjoyed it.
She hasn't been able to play outside for a while.
And I also asked her...
to stay indoors because I was worried about her.
From now on, I'm going to take her outside every day.
Okay, sure.
By the way, don't you think we should take a family photo?
Yes, of course. We might not be getting married at a wedding venue,
but we should still take wedding photos.
I've already picked a photo studio.
Great job. Let's take a big family photo...
and hang it in the living room.
It'll look amazing to have all five of us in one photo.
Okay, Mother.
Okay, my son-in-law.
- Should I bring some beer? - Yes, go ahead.
- I'll bring them. - I'll go with you.
Okay.
My gosh.
My goodness, I should ask Kyung In to join us.
There we go.
Put it here.
Gosh, that hurt. Why did you slap me?
I think I saw a mosquito on your arm.
Here. Go ahead and grill these.
- Okay. - Here.
Okay. Dried squid.
Let's reduce the heat.
My goodness, what are you doing?
It's a back hug.
I wanted to see how nice it feels.
What do you think?
Isn't this better...
than a back hug?
Song Ah, don't you think we're a bit too happy?
Gosh, you're burning the squid.
It won't burn.
I can see it burn right now.
I can tell if it's burning or not just by its smell.
We can leave it there for a bit more.
- I'm here. - Hey, you're here.
Why are you all alone?
They went to the kitchen to bring some beer.
But they're taking quite a long time.
Really?
- What's wrong? - We should be careful for a while.
Why? What are they doing?
I'm seeing too many love scenes these days.
I know they were both married once, but they're still newlyweds.
You're right.
Can you smell the squid burning?
Just leave it. They probably don't even care about the squid.
They'll burn a lot more than just squid.
They'll burn the rice, soup,
and the side dishes.
Their love will end up burning everything around them.
That's just how it is.
It's burning.
- Oh, my goodness. - My gosh.
My goodness gracious.
See? I told you that it'll burn.
Why do squids burn so quickly?
- My goodness. - Gosh, that's hot!
- Are you okay? - Goodness, it's so hot.
My gosh.
Why do squids burn so quickly?
By the way,
I have a question about your parents.
Yes?
When did they pass away?
Just when I was about to enter elementary school.
That means they passed away when they were very young.
Were they sick or something?
- No. - Then what happened?
Eun Seok.
(25 years ago)
It won't do you any good if people find out...
that your dad got stabbed by the Black Rose...
and died from a sequela.
Don't tell anyone about your dad...
before we catch the Black Rose.
We can never be sure where that horrible woman...
and the people helping her...
might be hiding to keep their eyes on you.
If anyone asks,
just tell them that your parents died due to a car accident.
They died due to a car accident.
My parents were in the same car.
Jenny also went through something similar.
Jenny also lost her father due to an accident.
That's how you lost your father?
Oh, well... Yes.
Okay, then. I think that's enough.
You can go now.
Okay. What about the time and place of the family gathering?
You can tell your grandfather to choose.
Okay.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
Did you meet that lady?
- What lady? - His blind date.
Something urgent came up today.
What? Hurry up and set a date to meet her.
I'm sure she's waiting for you.
Okay, I will.
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes, I did.
Doesn't he seem a little weird?
Yes, he does. He rarely reacts that way...
when it comes to women.
Normally, he would've...
already met her by now.
Exactly. He hasn't even called her.
He's also been eating dinner outside for the past couple of days.
Mom, do you think he's seeing someone?
If he had a girlfriend, he'd normally tell me about it.
Should I look into it?
Yes, you should. Something seems a little off.
Okay, you just wait.
My gosh, I feel like she's postponing it on purpose.
No way. I hope she's not thinking of having the baby.
Honey.
Hey, Ae Young. What's up?
I'm on my way to your house.
What?
Why are you coming to my house?
My stomach hurts so much, and I'm scared.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep alone tonight.
What do you want me to do?
You can't come to my house. Are you crazy?
I don't want to go to a hotel or a dry sauna.
I want you to let me in once everyone falls asleep.
I'll sleep there and leave without anyone noticing.
What... What?
Hello? Hello?
My gosh, is she crazy? I can't believe she's coming here.
If you ignore me, I'll just ring the doorbell.
So just quietly let me in when I get there...
if you don't want to wake your family.
My gosh.
What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
I know how fearless Ae Young can be.
Why would she barge into my house?
What is she scheming?
What's up?
My gosh, nothing.
It sounded like you were talking to someone over the phone.
I was talking to a friend.
I see.
You haven't even gotten changed yet.
What's with you?
Will you please leave so I can get changed?
Young Man.
Do you have a secret girlfriend that I don't know about?
What... What?
I mean, you still haven't called the really nice woman...
that Mom tried to set you up with.
This kind of thing never happens with you.
I wonder what's going on.
Hey, get out of here.
I'm already having a hard time because of the business.
Please don't add onto it by talking nonsense.
What? Your business?
You're the one who's talking nonsense.
Don't act like you're running a business.
Hey, I work really hard these days.
Can't you see that I'm losing hair?
That's because you have hair loss.
If you take after Dad,
you'll become bald before you turn 40.
Why would you say something so horrible? Just get out of here.
Young Man.
You can't fool me.
If I catch you later on, you'll only end up regretting it.
Just let me know what's troubling you.
Come on, my brother. It's okay. You can tell me.
Nothing's troubling me. I'm completely fine, my sister.
Gosh, just go to bed.
- Why? You can tell me. - Just go.
It's okay. I have nothing to say.
My goodness.
What was that? Something's definitely up.
He kept sweating and was so temperamental.
And I can't believe he used his business as an excuse.
I wonder what's going on.
Every time we need to talk to my mom together,
I get so embarrassed.
Don't feel embarrassed. I'm okay.
You'll have to see my mom every day once we get married.
It'll be very tormenting.
I can already see how horrible it's going to be.
We'll be living together, so there's no need to worry.
I want to move out and live separately.
I also want to do the same, but she'll never let us do that.
Then that will lead to another fight,
and it'll only give my family an excuse to disapprove.
I don't want to complicate things.
Let's do our best not to clash with your mother.
That will be best for us.
Okay.
By the way, did you meet Ahn Man Su?
Yes.
(President, Ahn Man Su)
This is still here...
as if nothing ever happened.
What?
They had to insert a metal pin in his leg?
It must've been very hard for him.
He needs to take care of a few stuff in Seoul,
so he's going to stay here for a while.
I see.
And he still wanted to be in charge of publishing my book,
so I told him to go ahead.
That's great.
Do you want me to push you?
Yes.
Okay, here we go.
Let's sing my dad's favorite song.
It'll be useless to beg you to stay
Because you've already changed
I can't even ask you to stay by my side
The only thing I can do is leave
The longing that comes with our memories
It's making me cry tonight
If I knew this journey was going to leave nothing but scars
(25 years ago)
Byung Hoon.
This is your mother.
She's someone you should never meet.
So don't ever forget her face.
If you ever see her walking in the street,
make sure you avoid her.
Why, Dad?
Because she makes the people around her suffer.
If you meet her,
you might die.
But she's my mom.
Yes, I know.
Then why did she give birth to me?
Byung Hoon.
(33 years ago)
No! No!
No, please...
No! No, please!
Please!
Help! Please help!
Please help! Doctor, please help!
He was just born.
He's still alive. Please save his life.
Doctor, please help him!
Although those memories are stopping me from leaving
I should leave with no regrets
While the memories we have still remain beautiful
(Ahn Man Su)
It's Man Su.
Hello?
It's me, Man Su.
Have you been well,
Mother?
"Mother"?
Who says you can call me that?
(Shady Mom-in-law)
Let me ask you for one more thing.
Don't go around splurging...
expecting that the kids will pay off your debt.
Listen to me.
I'm so embarrassed and humiliated.
Don't say that. We just need to live a happy life.
Since when did you know the truth about me and Jenny?
I knew the moment we first met.
- And that's how things led to this? - You should let Jenny go.
It's only a matter of time before Jenny and Ms. Ji...
end up recognizing each other.
