(Episode 63)
What do I do? His temperature isn't going down.
This doesn't look good. I'll go get the doctor.
- Who is Han Jun's guardian? - Me.
What's your relationship with the patient?
I'm his mother.
Doctor, we must get Jun's fever under control.
Please do that first.
Jun has pediatric myocarditis.
He has a high fever,
so we'll give him an injection to break the fever first.
Jun.
Mom's so sorry.
I should've been there for you.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
(Notice Board)
Jun is her son?
And he has pediatric myocarditis?
Cho Hee.
Hey, Kang Rim.
What's going on?
They have to treat his fever first.
Wait, Kang Rim.
Why?
Let's wait here.
Okay.
You didn't have to come here, you know.
When I saw you running out the door with Jun in your arms,
I was reminded of the time when Ri An fell ill,
so I had to come with you.
Really?
(Room 202, Patient Han J)
How's Jun?
He's asleep now.
The injection will bring the fever down.
But it'll be a while...
until it returns to the normal range.
We'll wait here,
so don't worry about us. You should stay by his side.
No, it's okay. It'll take a while.
I came out to tell you that you should get going.
Earlier, I was too frazzled...
to even thank you.
Thank you so much.
It looks like Jun gets a fever often.
Yes, he has a congenital heart condition.
If you don't mind,
I'd like to stay and be here for you.
It's okay.
Thank you so much for coming all the way here with us.
All right. If we stay, it might make you uncomfortable.
If you need our help, feel free to call us anytime.
Will you be okay by yourself?
Of course. I come to the hospital often,
so I can manage on my own from now on.
All right. See you.
Okay.
You're going home, right?
Yes, I should.
I'll give you a ride.
It's okay. Just drop me off at the subway station.
Hey, Kang Rim.
Yes, what is it?
Jun.
Mom's so sorry.
What is it? What were you going to say?
About your student, Seul A.
What do you think of her?
What do you mean?
She's just a part-timer who helps me out at the office.
You don't have feelings for her, do you?
Nonsense. Get in the car.
I can't believe I'm stuck here on a Saturday.
Don't you worry.
You work on weekends,
but it means you get a day off during the week.
No. It doesn't count...
unless you can rest...
when everyone else is resting and also when they're working.
By the way, Seok Gu.
When did your father pass away?
(Parking Attendant)
It's been about ten years, I think.
He was quite successful in Gangnam.
Is that so?
Yes.
It's not like he owned a big building like this,
but we were quite well-off.
I had a lot of money too, thanks to my father.
But the company suddenly started struggling,
and it went downhill so fast.
Right. When your family gets involved in your business,
it never works out.
So after my father passed away,
my mother, who never used to lift a finger,
started walking on eggshells around her daughter-in-law.
My goodness. It must've been very stressful for Ms. Na.
You should be good to your mother.
Sure, my mom had a hard time.
But I went through a lot too.
I wanted to revive the business,
so I went to the Philippines to gather investors...
and ended up getting a divorce...
Why am I telling you these things?
It's okay.
Feel free to tell me anything.
You may be an adult now,
but there must've been times when you wanted...
to discuss things with your father or vent to him.
It must've been hard for you too.
All right.
Come and talk to me whenever you're stressed out.
I'm all ears, as long as you don't ask me to lend you money.
- I'm home. - You're back.
He hasn't called me once today.
It's your day off. Aren't you going out on a date?
What?
Oh, Brad is working today.
He works on weekends too?
He works very hard, you know.
He's incredibly self-sufficient.
Right, I see.
Hey, Cho Hee.
Do you know what Brad's real name is?
His name?
Bang Bae Soo. His name is Bang Bae Soo!
He must have told you everything, then.
My gosh, yes. He had to muster up the courage...
to tell me that.
And you've decided to accept everything?
Why not?
He and that cranky chairman...
have the same name, but they're not the same person.
Sorry?
He must've been very embarrassed of his name.
Why must that cranky chairman have the exact same name?
Oh, dear.
So I told him that I'd just keep calling him Brad.
I see.
Anyway, I'll be in my room. I'm getting sleepy.
Okay, Mother. I'll wake you up when dinner is ready.
Sounds good.
Why do we always have to eat dinner so late?
I'd rather fix myself dinner than wait.
I tried to do it quickly.
I'm sorry, Father.
Dad, please.
Mom, is Grandpa scolding you again?
Gosh, no. Why would I be scolded, Sa Rang?
You are being scolded now.
No, come on.
I'm done.
You guys can take your time.
Gosh, why...
You should eat more, Dad.
Eating too much is a sin.
My gosh, where did the time go?
Oh, dear.
Ms. Na.
Yes, it's me.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
I'm not sure. I don't have any plans at the moment.
Then can I see you tomorrow?
Why? What's going on?
Who is it? Why are you whispering like that?
Is Mother on the phone?
Looks like she's taking a secret call, Cho Hee.
Honey.
Okay, then let's do that.
Okay. Sleep well. I'll see you tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Have you never seen anyone talk on the phone?
Who was that, Father?
None of your business!
Who are you to meddle in my personal life, Won Ju?
Dad, I guess you're meeting a friend tomorrow.
Father has no friends.
Grandpa, I want to meet your friend too.
You do?
Then I'll introduce you to my friend later.
You'll be the first one to meet my friend!
Okay, Grandpa!
Gosh, my sweetheart.
What?
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Who was that, Grandma?
Who else? It was my friend, Ri An.
Mom, who is this friend? You kept talking so politely.
Is it someone we know?
Come on. It's not like we know every single friend of hers.
Mother, do you want some tangerines?
- Tangerines? - That'd be nice.
Honey, let's go buy some tangerines.
Do I really have to go with you?
Why don't you get Seok Gu or Pa Ran to do it?
Gosh, I'm not going. It's too cold out.
Come on. Let's go.
- Hurry. Get your jacket. - The kids can do it.
Come on.
But why...
Goodness.
Something's very fishy here.
My, you came by yesterday. And you're here again.
I know. It's nice to see you and Mom every day.
And I'm happy to help you out like this.
I have to say, ppageumjang is saving our store.
I wonder if Jun is okay.
Well, I'm sure he's fine.
All kids get a fever from time to time, you know.
Actually, Jun has a heart condition.
I happened to hear about it at the hospital yesterday.
My goodness.
Gosh, that poor thing.
If he has a heart condition, all the tests and treatment...
will be quite costly.
It doesn't look like he has a father.
And clearly, his mother has no interest in earning money.
No wonder Seul A works so hard.
I bet it's all because of Jun.
And that's why she asked Mr. Soo for an advance payment.
What? She did?
Yes, I'm telling you.
Mr. Mustache was so stressed out because of that.
I see.
She left?
Yes. She said she had to go to the attorney's office...
after taking care of the deliveries.
It sounded like she had a lot of work to do at the office.
Really?
But Kang Rim didn't go to work today.
She said she had to go in to finish something.
By the way, why are you looking for Seul A?
I need to ask her something.
It seems that trouble follows her everywhere she goes.
And her mother is really something.
I get angry when I see her,
but I feel bad for her at the same time.
I see.
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
I'm sorry.
I heard you'd be here,
so I just showed up here without even calling.
It's okay.
How's Jun?
Thanks to your help, he's doing a lot better now.
Thank you.
Are you really...
Jun's mom?
Yes.
I am Jun's biological mother.
It must've been a shock to you.
I'm not going to lie. I was quite surprised.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hide it.
I know that was what my mom told everyone,
but I should have been honest with you.
You don't need to apologize to me.
And I understand why your mother did that.
Of course, she did that because she was worried about you.
That's why I feel so guilty whenever I think about Jun,
and I feel bad for my mom too.
You have to raise Jun by yourself. It must be really hard.
That's okay,
but I feel terrible because I'm not a good enough mom.
Nothing makes a mother sadder than having a sick child.
It must've been so hard.
I feel like it's my fault...
that Jun is ill.
Maybe it's my fault that he was born weak.
Or maybe he became this weak...
because he wasn't raised by his mother.
He can't run around freely...
like other kids who are healthy.
He's always stuck in his room and can't even go anywhere.
That really breaks my heart.
But...
Attorney Seo helped me out so much.
Kang Rim did?
Yes.
He gave me a lot of good advice,
which helped me reflect on myself...
and learn so many things.
I'm going to pull myself together...
and try to live a good life.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to cry.
I've never opened up to anyone like this before.
My gosh.
You're a mother, so you must stay strong.
Don't cry.
Thank you.
And...
I'm planning on telling him soon...
that Jun is my son.
I feel uneasy...
that I'm lying to him.
All right.
Sun Hae.
Do you think we can go back to how we used to be?
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
The person you have reached is unavailable. Leave a message...
- Hello! - Hello!
We're back.
The store is actually closed today.
- Hi! - I'm not here to buy side dishes.
It's good to see you. But can Jun be out and about like this?
Yes, it's fine.
I wanted to thank you for taking Jun to the hospital,
so I made aprons for you.
You didn't have to.
My gosh.
Gosh, what a surprise.
My gosh, Mr. Attorney!
- Mr. Attorney! - Seul A told me what happened.
Thank you so much.
No problem.
Mom!
Is he okay now?
Yes, he's fine. His fever is gone.
Are you going out?
Yes, I have to go see my client. I'll see you later.
Mom!
(Bangsoo Construction)
Come on. Why the long face?
I thought this would be a date.
What are we doing in the staff room?
A date doesn't have to be special.
If we can spend time together,
then it's a date, right?
Here. Have some jujube tea that my daughter-in-law made.
You know, Chairman Bang...
does a lot of volunteer work.
Really?
And he has made a lot of donations to help the needy.
So what?
His daughter-in-law goes around ruining his reputation.
Brad.
Why would you waste our precious time together...
talking about that geezer?
Well...
Maybe Chairman Bang Bae Soo isn't so nasty after all.
Are you taking his side because you two have the same name?
No, I'm not.
That's enough.
Why don't we go out for a walk?
But it's cold out.
I want to walk with you, Brad.
Really?
Well, then... Shall we?
Yes, let's go.
Get up.
Seul A.
Yes.
You know, that attorney...
If you're going to talk about him again, just drop it.
He seems to adore Jun.
I could tell from the way he was looking at Jun.
Mom, did you go there again with Jun?
We should go there often.
The lady who owns the store seems to adore Jun as well,
and her sister doesn't seem to dislike him either.
Hey, if you tell them that...
you have to look after your brother when you move in...
Have you lost your mind?
And I'm going to tell them that Jun is my son.
You have lost your mind.
I will tell them everything, so you can't cook up another scheme.
Let go!
I can't.
You'll go to their store and ruin everything.
Yes, I will! So you can give up already!
Get it together, you idiot.
If they find out that Jun is your son,
they won't even care about you.
And if the word gets out that you have a kid,
no one will even want to date you.
Then you'll have no choice but to rot here like this.
What is wrong with living like this?
You idiot.
Do you really want to raise Jun in this kind of environment?
Don't you feel bad for him?
I can't be a mother who lies.
If I deny the fact that I'm his mother,
I'll be too ashamed to even face him later on.
Shut it.
Jun is my son, no matter what you say.
Do you understand?
Honey, are you thinking of Kang Rim again?
No, not Kang Rim. I was thinking about his student.
What about her?
She's struggling at such a young age.
I feel bad.
She can't enjoy any of the things that girls at her age get to do.
I feel sorry for her.
I'm more worried about your brother than that student.
Kang Rim?
Yes.
At first,
I just thought he cared about her as his student.
But I've thought about it, and I don't think that's the case.
It's a big problem.
What do you mean?
That student looks a lot like his first love.
What about it?
A woman who's in an unfortunate situation...
happens to look like his first love.
That, in and of itself, is a problem.
A man can never forget his first love.
Is that so?
Of course, you're my first love, Cho Hee.
I never asked.
Anyway, that's why I'm worried about Kang Rim.
His heart must break...
every time he sees Seul A.
What if...
What?
Nothing. Never mind.
(Bangsoo Construction)
- Ms. Na. - Yes, sir.
- Are you done with your area? - Yes, sir.
Then could you clean the hallway in front of the chairman's office?
You want me to do that?
The person in charge of that area...
couldn't come to work today due to urgent personal matters.
Okay. The top floor, right?
Right.
Don't go anywhere near the chairman's office.
Just mop the hallway.
Chairman Bang hates it when people come up there.
Okay, got it.
Who does he think he is?
What's with this tight security?
That fussy old man. My goodness.
(16th Floor, Bangsoo Construction)
(Chairman's Office)
What about the completion ceremony for Noble River Vill?
I'd like you to attend the ceremony on my behalf, as usual.
Yes, sir.
I'll do my best, so you can put your mind at ease, Mr. Chairman.
Sounds good.
What...
Brad?
My gosh.
Ms. Na, let me explain.
Stay away.
Hear me out. I can explain.
Stay away!
Ms. Na.
(The All-Round Wife)
I'm sorry that my mom keeps calling you.
I'm doing this because I want to.
This is bad. Ms. Na!
- Why are you looking for my mom? - Where is she?
I hope she's okay.
Hey, Ri An. What?
Does Grandpa have a serious illness?
I've never seen my dad so devastated.
Do you have some time this evening?
